About

An intensive and mindful journey of India that introduces students to Hindu culture and traditions in the Northwest Himalayas and on the Gangetic plain. This trekking tour follows along the sacred river Ganga from the ancient and holy city of Varanasi  through pilgrimage towns on the plains up to its glacial source in the high Himalayas and back.  Students will walk ancient pilgrimage trails with Hindus from all parts of India. They will visit temples, camp out at high elevations amidst massive snow-capped Himalayan peaks, interact with pilgrims and wandering world-renouncers, stay in a summer palace on the banks of the sacred river, receive a private performance of classical Indian music, learn ancient Vedic chant, participate in the fire rituals and massive gatherings in devotion to the river goddess, shop for Indian clothing in the bazaars, and partake of Ayurvedic massage.
