Day OneArrive & Settle
You arrive. Lunch together marks the beginning. The afternoon is yours to rest and acclimatize. After orientation and intention-setting, we walk to Shanti Stupa to watch the sun set over the valley. Dinner at Rabsal House, your home for the next four nights.
Day TwoGo Inward
Morning meditation, pranayam, and tai chi. Time to rest or receive Thai yoga massage from our experienced practitioners. For lunch, we dine in a 200-year-old traditional Ladakhi home in Stok village for a heritage meal. The evening closes with candlelit restorative yin yoga and meditation.
Day ThreeThe Monastery at Dawn
We leave early — 5:45am — to reach Thiksey Monastery in time for morning prayers. Watching monks chant as the light rises over the Indus Valley is unforgettable. Breakfast near the monastery, then receive a private talk with a Buddhist scholar monk in the monastery library. We return back to Leh to receive a private Thai yoga massage session session and solo time to explore the market at your own pace. The evening: yin yoga and meditation.
Day fourAlchi Village & Bonfire
Morning meditation followed by tai chi. Then we drive west through lunar landscapes to Alchi Village, home to some of Ladakh's oldest and most intimate Buddhist temples. Lunch in the village, a guided monastery visit, and a slow return to Leh. The evening ends with sound healing and yoga nidra, followed by a bonfire with a shared BBQ meal.
Day fiveIntegration & Farewell
A short gratitude meditation at dawn. A closing circle to integrate what has settled in. A long, slow breakfast before we part ways.
