Jaipur is calling. 

Our Rajasthan Yoga Retreat lands March 13 evening – March 22 (early morning), 2027 — eight days of morning practice, Ayurvedic healing, farm life, and the living heritage of the Pink City.

We begin at Anopura — a Condé Nast Traveller award-winning luxury hideaway on 60 acres of organic farmland in the Aravalli hills, where days unfold between dawn yoga, village walks, pottery with local artisans, Dosha body treatments, and dinners under ancient trees.

Then we move into the heart of Jaipur's walled old city — to Padmaa, an 18th-century heritage haveli where seven generations of one family's story lives in every carved stone. Dawn horse carriage through ancient lanes. Yoga by the rooftop pool. Live classical music in the courtyard. The street food, temples, and bazaars of the Pink City at your door.

This retreat is intimate by design.

Yoga Retreat in Rajasthan, India
March 13 – 22, 2027

The Journey

This retreat begins the moment you leave home. We fly out on March 12th, arriving in Delhi on the eve of March 13th — giving us time to land, breathe, and begin. Recommended carriers are Qatar Airways and Emirates, both offering excellent connections into Indira Gandhi International Airport. Once you register, full flight guidance and coordination details will be sent directly to you.

What follows is nine days that move through three distinct worlds: the living farmland of the Aravalli hills, the layered history of Jaipur's walled old city, and the timeless grandeur of the Taj Mahal at sunrise. This is not a resort yoga retreat. It is a full immersion into the ancient soul of northern India — into a culture that has honored the body, the breath, and the land for thousands of years.

PART ONE — Anopura Luxury Hideaway
March 13 – 17 · 4 Nights · Outside Jaipur · anopura.com

We arrive at Anopura — a 60-acre sanctuary of organic farmland, curated forest, and Aravalli foothills — and the world slows immediately. Voted one of the Best Resorts in the World in Condé Nast Traveller's 2024 Readers' Choice Awards, Anopura was built with a philosophy as deliberate as its beauty: lime mortar walls that breathe with the seasons, solar-powered energy throughout, and India's first dedicated oxygen trail winding through its native plantings. There are no highways here. Only birdsong, the movement of cattle at dusk, and the unhurried rhythm of rural Rajasthan continuing as it always has.

Where You'll Stay

Anopura's 14 accommodations range are intimate Deluxe Suites (700 sq ft) with sweeping Aravalli views, its surrounded by frangipani blossoms; All rooms feature open-air bathrooms and the quiet of surrounding nature.

Wellness & Yoga

Morning practice happens in the open landscape — on terraces facing the hills, beside the farm at dawn, under the wide sky of the meadows as mist clears. The on-site wellness studio offers a full Ayurvedic treatment menu rooted in over 3,000 years of Hindu healing tradition. Treatments are crafted from plants, flowers, and herbs grown on the property itself. Included in your retreat are Dosha-specific body massages (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), Balinese massage, Himalayan mineral body scrub, aromatherapy, Indian head massage, deep tissue work, reflexology, and the traditional Mukh Lepa Ayurvedic herbal facial.

Experiences on the Land

Among the experiences woven into your days: early morning walks to nearby temples for the Aarti, as prayer is offered in fire, song, and devotion as the world wakes. Village walks through winding mud-brick streets with a local guide. Farming and dairy classes with the Anopura farm team — from soil preparation to milking, with fresh chocolate made from the morning's milk. A pottery session under the guidance of village artisans. A guided sunset hike through the Aravalli foothills with a panoramic summit view. 

Gastronomy

Anopura's culinary philosophy traces to the childhood farmhouse of its founder — a quiet Rajasthani town where mornings meant picking produce and meals were cooked over open fire with whatever the season offered. 

PART TWO — Padmaa Heritage Haveli
March 17 – 19 · 2 Nights · Walled Old City, Jaipur · padmaajaipur.com

From the open countryside, we move into the beating heart of the Pink City. Padmaa sits on Chaura Rasta — one of the oldest and widest streets in Jaipur's walled old city, originally designed by Sawai Jai Singh II to accommodate royal processions and elephant marches moving into the City Palace. Seven generations of one family's history live in its walls. Named in honor of Shrimati Padmaa Devi Shah — known to her grandchildren as Amma — this 18th-century haveli began as a family jewellery trading house and has been transformed, with great care and restraint, into a 15-suite boutique hotel where the heritage is the luxury.

Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and Albert Hall Museum are all within a ten-minute walk.

Where You'll Stay

Padmaa's suites offer a different depth of immersion into the Rajasthani aesthetic. Intricate stone carvings, jaali-screened windows, and inner courtyards that flood with natural light make it as visually compelling as it is restful.

Spaces & Experiences

The serene stone-floored inner courtyard is the heart of the haveli — a place for morning tea, quiet sitting, and the pleasure of feeling close to nature inside a living city. Chandni, the private moonlit mini-courtyard, is designed for evenings under open sky. The rooftop restaurant and bar serve authentic Rajasthani cuisine and sunset cocktails above the Pink City skyline. The rooftop pool and spa offer a hidden oasis above the lanes, with morning yoga by the water among the most quietly extraordinary ways to begin a day in Jaipur.

Our days here include a dawn horse carriage through the old city's carved lanes and awakening bazaars. Food walks through Jaipur's famous streets — hot kachoris, sweet ghewar, recipes unchanged for generations. Heritage and temple walks through the walled city's 250-plus temples, the brass craftsmen's alley of Thateron Ka Rasta, the bangle-makers of Maniharon Ka Rasta, and the textile market of Lalji Sand Ka Rasta. And evenings with live Indian classical musicians in the courtyard.

PART THREE — Delhi & the Taj Mahal
March 19 – 21 · 2 Nights · Delhi

The final movement of our journey takes us to Delhi and then south to Agra for one of the most singular experiences available to a human being — the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Built between 1631 and 1648 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as an act of love and grief for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the monument is not adequately described by any superlative. 

Delhi itself offers its own layered world — Humayun's Tomb, Lodhi Garden, the spice markets of Chandni Chowk, and the quiet elegance of Lutyens' Delhi — with time to explore according to your own pace and curiosity.
