The Itinerary
Day OneArrive & Settle
Arrive at Le Mentok Wellness Resort, settle in, and begin to slow down. We’ll share our first meal together before gathering for an opening circle with intention setting, gentle pranayama and grounding. In the evening, we’ll ease into the retreat with a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra practice, followed by dinner and rest.
Day TwoMovement & Connection
Begin the morning with meditation and slow Yin Yoga before enjoying breakfast together. In the afternoon, we’ll visit Petstok Village for a traditional Ladakhi lunch and a glimpse into local life. Back at the retreat, an evening Qigong practice will bring movement, breath and awareness together, followed by meditation, dinner and rest.
Day ThreeAlchi & Monastery Visit
After morning meditation and Yin Yoga, we’ll leave Le Mentok and travel to Alchi. Following lunch at Alchi Kitchen, we’ll explore the ancient Alchi Monastery and have time to wander through the village, walk and browse local shops. As the day cools, we’ll practice Qigong beside the river before dinner, meditation and a quiet evening in Alchi.
Day fourLamayuru & Inner Practice
Our morning begins with meditation and Yin Yoga before heading into the dramatic landscape of Lamayuru. We’ll visit Lamayuru Monastery and share lunch in the village, followed by spacious time to rest and integrate. In the afternoon, we’ll explore mindful touch and body awareness through a Thai Massage workshop, then close the day with Qigong, meditation and dinner.
Day fiveReturn & Closing
After our final morning practice in Alchi, we’ll return to Le Mentok for lunch and an unhurried afternoon of rest and integration. In the evening, we’ll gather for our closing circle — a space for reflection, sharing and gratitude as we consider what has shifted and what we’re carrying home. We’ll share one final dinner and evening together.
Day sixDeparture
After breakfast, our retreat comes to a close. A final moment to say goodbye and carry the practices, experiences and connections from Ladakh back into everyday life.
