About the Adventure

Have you ever dreamed of diving deep into a transformative wellness journey in one of the world’s most spiritually rich places? This 10-day India Yoga Immersion Retreat is a carefully curated blend of culture, self-exploration, celebration, and rejuvenation. Kook’s Wild Ride has partnered with renowned Indian yogi and healer Reema Saikia to create a truly immersive experience that takes you beyond typical travel — straight to the heart of yoga’s birthplace in India.

Over ten days, you’ll move with intention through history, soulful practice, and vibrant culture. Begin in energetic Delhi and explore iconic cities like Jaipur and Agra (including a private sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal), then ride the rails to the holy city of Varanasi to witness the luminous Diwali celebrations — a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From there, the journey unfolds in Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of the World, where you’ll enjoy guided yoga, meditation, and reflective practices beside the sacred Ganges River.
