Individuals, Small Groups, Sabbaticals & Personal Growth

All our inner Himalayan journeys are available from the middle of April to the end of October. Depending on weather conditions, it may be possible to extend these dates by one month either way which can only be determined when the season starts and draws to an end.

Visits solely to Shimla and surrounding areas are available until the month of November but please check with Gajender in relation to winter weather conditions and possible snow.

Holidays by the Ganges begin in November and conclude at the end of February.

Please note; the inner Himalayan journeys also include a 2/3 night stay by the Ganges in an ancient area famous for yoga, meditation and spiritual practices. (See the Ganges Journeys section of this website for more details).

Whatever your requirements, read through this entire section to formulate your own personal package. You may also find it useful to plan your individual journey by reading the Lazarus Group Journeys section of this site.

When you have some idea of your requirements, contact Mary (on the Bookings & Contact Information section of this site) to finalise your plans. Then after a phone conversation to clarify that all is as you wish, we can give you the final costing and you can proceed with booking.

Journey’s for Individuals, Couples & Small Groups

These journeys are tailor made to suit your personal requirements and price brackets, as well as time schedules. For example, you may wish to spend more than one night in Delhi either end of your journey or have longer time in Shimla to go sightseeing.

Alternatively, you may wish to incorporate any number of days for a retreat or time alone and/or detoxing in the higher Himalayan regions or by the Ganges. Or you may prefer to do as much sight-seeing as possible and if your spiritual orientation is towards Buddhism, your overall emphasis might be to visit remote monasteries and stay overnight - or for as long as you wish.

Whatever you personal idea of of a Himalayan or Ganges adventure is, we will endeavour to materialise it for you.

Sabbaticals

If you wish to spend longer in the Himalayas, we arrange full board in either a guesthouse or Tibetan hotel (according to your price bracket) on the outskirts of an enchanting Himalayan tribal village, which, because of it’s unique climate, remoteness and heritage, is visited on all our inner Himalayan journeys. This village produces Hunza apricots, almonds, walnuts, pine nuts and red apples and both our locations have stunning views of two of the most sacred mountains in India - 5km away ‘as the crow flies’.

You are welcome to stay for as long as you wish and we will endeavour to accommodate whatever reason you have for your extended stay. Sightseeing into remoter areas and surrounding local villages, shrines, monasteries and temples are also available at an extra cost and can be organised ‘on the spot’ at any point during your stay.

Personal Growth

For those undergoing major life changes and who need a place conducive for self-reflection, our journeys and settings provide a perfect sanctuary. The remoteness and altitude alone gives a sense of rising above repetitive, day to day awareness enabling a new and clearer perspective to unfold naturally.

Initially, you may wish to stay in Shimla; a famous British Hill Station where Gajender offers guided tours, astrological readings and personal growth sessions.

You can then venture further into the remoter regions where Mary lives and will be available for support when needed. (Gajender’s & Mary’s work biographies can be found on The Profile & Team section of this website.)
