Love the food and all the teachers I found best and dedicated. They are kind and professional both at the same time, Food was so amazing. The excursions to the beach by the Sacred Ganges River, the Himalayas tour, Ganga Arti ritual, and the visit to Sivananda Ashram were unforgettable. Each trip added a unique cultural and spiritual touch to my yoga journey.
