Luxury India Wellness Travel made for you
Experience the best yoga and meditation retreats in India on a bespoke wellness tour
Elevate your mind and spirit on an India wellness trip
Spiritual and diverse, India is the birthplace of four major religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism), as well as yoga and Ayurveda; a whole body, or holistic, system of medicine.
On your wellness retreat in India, you can learn about Ayurveda with expert doctors, enjoying personalised treatments and guidance on what will work best for you. You could spend time deep in meditation, join classes and workshops guided by revered yogis, or step out for mindful nature walks.
There’s plenty to add a sense of adventure too. You might go white-water rafting, spot tigers in India’s national parks or join guided hikes to panoramic viewpoints and temples.
We especially recommend visiting Rishikesh, widely recognised as the yoga capital of the world. Stay in a former Maharaja’s Palace, experiencing devotional rituals like Ganga Arti on the banks of the holy river. Or private evening ragas performed by classical musicians. Not far away, in the hill station of Dehradun, you could stay in a retreat in the lush Sal forests and embrace Tibetan medicine and natural healing therapies.
In the south, Kerala – lovingly called ‘God’s Own Country’ – offers respite with its emerald waterways, swaying coconut groves and the sublime Marari Beach. In Rural Rajasthan, India’s northwest, you can seek out serenity in its hills surrounded by forts and palaces. Or travel to the city of Udaipur to stay in one of our favourite palaces floating on Lake Pichola.

When to visit
The best time for a wellness trip in India is from November to March, when wellness destinations like Rishikesh, Kerala and Rajasthan enjoy clear skies and comfortable temperatures. However, different months work better for specific activities – February to June is great for spotting tigers when they gather near water holes. Certain months feature important festivals, and mountain trekking in the north is only possible during warm weather windows. Since India is huge, the weather varies dramatically across regions. The Himalayas will be experiencing completely different conditions than the tropical beaches of Kerala in the south at the exact same time.
White-water rafting
March–September
Himalayas trekking
October–November/February–May
Relax on the beach
November–March
Cruise the Keralan Backwaters
December–February

In 2025 we had planned a trip to Antartica ( with another company ) but…
“Communication and organization were…”
Communication and organization were excellent. The Jacada team was helpful and genuinely interested in our experience. The guides were personable, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy their work. Vehicles were spotless, timely, and coordinators managed our every need brilliantly. I will recommend Jacada to friends and family. The only way to travel!
