Q. Hi. I am a practitioner of sivananda system since more than 15 years. I wish & dreamed to visit India but I don't know where I have to start. Can somebody give some suggestions how I will start the tour. I am 63 Years old but still very active. Thank you for all the feedback in advance.
January falls in the half of winters in Rishikesh. It is the best time in Rishikesh to enjoy the natural beauty and engage in adventure activities, especially rock climbing.

Trust an operator with credibility and safety experience.
