Nitesh Batra

About

I see pilgrimages and retreats as much more than travel - they’re sadhana, a kind of spiritual practice that’s messy and beautiful, not just a break from routine. For me, the path was shaped by the Himalayas, quiet monasteries, and the honest wisdom of teachers. I’m not here as a tour guide, but as someone sharing a practice that’s changed my life.

What Happens on These Journeys

• You join a sangha (community) where we share stories, laughter, sometimes frustration, and real growth. The group helps when things get tough.
• Everything’s rooted in discipline: tough treks in cold, long silent sits, or all-night chanting. The hard parts are often where the magic happens.
• Practice isn’t limited to one thing - we blend asana, pranayama, meditation, and mantra chanting to make it whole.
• Nature, especially the mountains, is our biggest teacher. The silence of the Himalayas often says what words can’t.

Three Main Experiences

• Himalayan spiritual trekking to places like Kedarnath and Tapovan. Expect cold, holy rivers, and energy that’s raw and real. It’s not luxury, but it’s honest.
• Silent meditation retreats India style: 10-12 days of noble silence, 8+ hours daily meditation, deep dives into the mind. It’s tough but transformative.
• Group yoga pilgrimage in Bangalore: all-night practice sessions at my shala on special days. Kirtan, mantra, meditation, breakfast together at dawn.

I walk this path with you, holding space, sharing what’s helped me, and always learning. No promises of instant peace - just an invitation to honest practice, community, and a journey that’s as real as it gets.
