India Yatra to Ladakh – Himalayan Heart
Join Alexia on an unforgettable pilgrimage to Ladakh, India, which is located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir in the Himalayas. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in the state and renowned for its remote mountain beauty and culture. Located over 3500m, Ladakh offers the sheer beauty of raw nature, a wide lens of the heart and sounds of creation that are weaved into infinite space.
This Yatra will open you to see the world from above (quite literally) and make you acknowledge the abundance of beauty and kindness that surrounds us in every moment. We will be traveling to some of the most stunning nature places, visit traditional monasteries and deepen our Yoga & Meditation practice.
This is a journey to the heart that takes you beyond what your eyes could ever perceive. Some things can not be described in words, they can only be felt. Ladakh is a place like that.
You have the chance to re-align, re-centre and retreat in a space that will show you wonder, appreciation and a true sense of belonging.
I am taking you to places that are shining with depth, mystery, secrets and devotion. The focus lies on the evolution of your own practice and understanding of the world while being deeply immersed in some the most ancient wisdom teachings and holy places on this planet.
Get ready for a journey that will change your life,
xx Alexia

Yatra Itinerary
Welcome Circle at 18:00 & Opening Ritual.
*Transfer on day 1 from Delhi International Airport to our hotel is included.
Flight to Leh domestic airport. Check in at the hotel and get acclimated to 3800m sea level.
Today we will explore Leh monasteries, as well as the famous Himis and Thiskey Monastery. Expect stunning nature and a scenic drive to the monasteries as well as profound insight into monastery life in the Himalayas.
Today we will drive deeper into the mountains to reach the picturesque area of Nubra Valley. The drive will be about 4-5hours and take us via Khardungla (Highest Motorable road in the world, 18,380 ft). We will take short breaks at scenic points for photography. On arrival check in to the hotel/camp. Post lunch, enjoy a camel safari (double humped camel which are found only in Ladakh & Mongolia) at the Sand Dunes between Deskit & Hundur Village.

We will continue our Yatra to Pangong Lake via Shyok river road (150 Kms | 6-7 hrs approx). Pangong Lake, one of the most famous lakes in Leh Ladakh, derives its name from the Tibetan word, “Pangong Tso”, which means “high grassland lake”. It is situated at a height of almost 4,350m, hence, it is the world’s highest saltwater lake on the planet. Its water, which seems to be dyed in blue, is known to change colors, appearing blue, green and red at different times.
Back in Leh, we will enjoy a local sightseeing tour, visit the famous Shanti Stupa and local monastery. Free time for shopping, cake and coffees included 🙂

Celebration dinner & Good Byes.

Alexia
Alexia has been traveling to India since 2008. She calls India her spiritual home and returns on a yearly base to study with her teachers, to take groups on life-changing pilgrimages and to connect with the sacredness of the land. For Alexia, India opens a door to mysteries: “The Motherland astonishes, surprises, awakens and changes you forever. She gives you a glimpse of what’s possible. And once you have had a little taste, you won’t let go and will seek to keep deepening the connection with what you have discovered.”
Alexia’s pilgrimages are unique and never the same. She makes sure you experience India off-the-beaten track by taking you to secret Himalayan caves and her favorite hidden spots by the sacred Ganga river; she organises Satsangs with local Gurus and makes you look behind the veil by teaching how to travel as a pilgrim rather than a tourist. Her pilgrimages are an expression of her love for the Motherland, be assured that you too will find love in India.

Shakti Yatra India 2024The Yatra was my first journey to India alone and i was kind of scared to go. Both Alexia and Raj made this trip just perfect tough. We had so many great and special experiences and activities like vedic ceremonies, temple and arti visits, crossing the ganga by boat and so much more. We had unique and deep experiences that will always keep a special place in my heart. The accommodations and the food were just amazing and the whole trip was perfectly organised. Lots of love for you.

India Yatra- Fairytale Journey to the Heart 2022Diving into spiritual India was really a journey to the heart. Seeing the devotion of Indian people and diving into sacred rituals makes you finding the sacredness within yourself and the group. We traveled caring for each other, meeting on a heart level. Alexia not only brings wonderful likeminded people together, she shows you the India she loves and you can feel that. India was one of my favourite trips ever and my heart is full. Definitely not my last India Yatra with yogalexia and ALKEMY Travel. Thank you 💗🙏🏻

FAQ
Yes! Our pilgrimage route takes us mostly to spiritual places that are often off the beaten tourist track. These places are well maintained and safe. We are also always making sure we are staying in clean hotels and take plenty of safety measurements.
You can apply online for your e-tourist Visa to India via this link:
https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html
You can apply for this Visa anytime after you have signed up for the pilgrimage. You will receive an email with an ETA that says “VISA GRANTED”. The ETA is an confirmation, however, you will only receive the VISA STAMP upon entry at immigration.
Alternatively, you may also apply for a regular paper Visa at your local embassy.
Yatra is a sanskrit word and means “spiritual journey” or pilgrimage. I have called my India journeys Yatras because they are fundamentally different to Retreats. We are traveling a lot, visiting sacred sites, temples and spiritual homes. We will do daily spiritual practices and hold our energy and intentions high. This is not a trip to relax, but a deep encounter with yourself and a country that has ancient roots of wisdom and will empower you to see beyond the veils.
It requires you to be open, accepting, loving and welcoming. It might take you to your limits, yet only to discover that your mind is your only limit. India helps us expand and grow. Be open and you shall receive.
Our Yatra begins and ends in Delhi
You may book your return flight into Delhi International Airport.
- Airport transfers on the first and last day of the Yatra is included. Should you arrive earlier or stay on longer, we are happy to help you arrange hotel extension and transfers.
Yes, we are sending out a packing list with the confirmation of your space on the Retreat.
Yes, some cash is always recommended as there are no cash machines in the desert. While this is an all-inclusive trip, you might want to buy souvenirs and gifts in the market and also give tips to our Berber team. Best you exchange cash right at the airport so you do not need to worry later as we are on a tightly timed adventure trip.
While India is quite colorful and open when it comes to dress code, there are certain standards to follow especially when visiting temples and sacred sites.
Make sure to pack clothes that are not black in color, long sleeves (below shoulders) and lose pants or skirts (below knees). You can also use shawl to wrap around your waist, head or shoulders when you enter a temple site.
Since we will be at 3800m sea level and higher, we suggest to pack layers of clothes that you can wear just in case. July is usually an amazing (the best) time to visit Ladakh, so sunshine and good weather will be expected.
