Abhi is an excellent host and very professional. He organized for my friends and myself a tour from Rishikesh to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in May 2025. Everything was very well organized, the hotels and restaurants chosen were good, and the guides we had in all the cities were well informed and polite, willing to answer our questions and care for our needs. Abhi himself was always eager to respond to our questions or help us with anything. A big thanks to all the team, and especially to Gudu, our always smiling bus driver! I would recommend Abhi and his team for anyone planning a trip to India.

Ο Άμπι ήταν εξαιρετικός και γνώριζε πολύ καλά να οργανώσει την εκδρομή μας στο Ρισικες, τοΔελχί, την Άγκρα και την Τζαιπο ρ. Ήταν πάντα σε ετοιμότητα να απαντήσει οποιαδήποτε ερώτηση μας, και τα ξενοδοχεία καθώς τα εστιατόρια πο επέλεξε για εμάς ήταν καθαρά και πολιτισμένα. Θα τον σ νέστηνα σε όποιον θα ήθελε να επισκεφθεί την Ινδία! Μάλιστα ήδη τον έχω σ στήσει σε μια φίλη πο θα επισκεφθεί την Ινδία μόνη, και είμαι σίγο ρη ότι θα φροντίσει να είναι ασφαλής και να περάσει καλά!

I can say that I had a time of my life while I was in India with this team! We had so much beautiful experiences, from traveling to the TTC of kundalini yoga in Rishikesh. They are professional on one, and very friendly people on the other side.I highly recommend all kind of experiences that Aadhya yogshala offers. Retreats all over the India and Nepal or TTC courses. Absolutely fantastic! My best regards and I hope to be back soon 😃

I have just returned from an amazing cultural and yoga retreat experience organised by Abhi, which was booked through my yoga teacher. As a group of 11 we visited the Golden Triangle - Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, before travelling further north to Rishikesh in the foothills of the Himalayas. Our transport from attraction to attraction and city to city was arranged meticulously on a comfortable minibus with regular refreshments provided for us and pit stops along the way. The driver and his assistant were excellent and reliable. Guides were provided for our tour of the Golden Triangle, travelling with us on the minibus to each attraction/historical site: The Amber Palace, The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, to name a few. They were very informative and knowledgeable adding a depth to India's rich history. Once in Rishikesh, known as 'yoga capital of the world' , we relaxed and delved deeper into our yoga sessions and had some free time to explore and unwind with a few organised cultural visits around the city. Visiting the Beatles Ashram and participating in a fire ceremony on the Ganga. Throughout the 12 days Abhi was attentive, helpful and ensured all our needs were met. If you're looking for a well organised experience with a structured itinerary, I would highly recommend travelling to India with Abhi and his team. India is a vibrant, loud, happy and energetic assault on the senses - an experience not to be missed and one that everyone should have.

We recently returned from a cultural and yoga retreat organised by Abi and his company, and it was an incredible experience! The trip started in Delhi and took us through Jaipur and Agra before ending in Rishikesh. Every part of the Golden Triangle tour was well-organised, and the group was lovely—everyone had a fantastic time. The journey between destinations was smooth, with an air-conditioned bus that kept us comfortable throughout. The driver was excellent, getting us safely from place to place, and water was thoughtfully provided along the way. In Rishikesh, the focus shifted to yoga, which was a peaceful and rejuvenating way to end the trip. The accommodation was 3-star, offering a quintessential Indian experience, and it suited the vibe of the retreat perfectly. Abi was amazing—helpful, attentive, and always ensuring we were looked after. His organisation and care made this trip memorable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a combination of sightseeing, culture, and yoga in a well-structured itinerary.

My husband and I have just returned from an amazing cultural yoga retreat, which we booked through my Kundalini yoga teacher in the UK, Brigitta (Yog Sharanam) of Deep in Yoga, Southend. The retreat itself was put together by Abhi Sharma of Aadhya Yogshala in Rishikesh, whom Brigitta had connected with on one of her many previous trips to Rishikesh. The moment we stepped out of the airport in Delhi we werein love with India. It is an amazing place, the sounds, the colours, the energy and probably most impactful the beautiful people. There is so much for us to learn from them and in 12 days we feel we just scratched the surface, but we will be forever grateful to have attended this retreat and it was made even more magical for me as my husband embraced it by my side. Everything was meticulously planned and we saw so many wonderful places in Delhi, Jaipur, Agra and Rishikesh. I loved every minute. We had the most wonderful group who were all warm, kind and fun and together we relished everything we saw and experienced. My feeling is that everybody should experience India and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abhi and his team to help you do that. The Taj Mahal was, of course, amazing, beautiful, breathtaking even, but the place both my husband and I loved the most was Swaminarayan Akshardham. It took our breath away and instilled real peace in our hearts 💕 The carved elephants were joyous. India is like no place we have ever been before and I am sure we will be back. From the many stunning temples, the fire ceremony, the beautiful street art, the delicious vegan/vegetarian food, the delightful coffee shops, the shopping, the tuk tuks and to be fair the orgainsed chaos of the roads themselves with people and cows everywhere to dipping in The Ganges and shopping in the markets. Every day brought new magic and laughs. India has to be experienced to be believed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful opportunity. Namaste 🙏

Aadhya Yogshala is known for its exceptional responsiveness, flexibility, and deep understanding of tourists’ needs. With years of experience, they’ve built an extensive network of professional partners, including knowledgeable guides and skilled yoga experts. I’ve visited India twice, and I never considered not working with Abhi. Even when I traveled partially on my own, I always felt safe, knowing I had a good friend in India named Abhi.

I had the pleasure of attending the Holi Retreat in March of 2024 and it was spectacular! My travel partner and I had plans that didn’t completely align with the retreat dates and Abhi was gracious enough to work with us to modify our time at the retreat. Everything from the accommodations, transportation, meals and activities was seamlessly planned with top notch communication the entire way. Cannot recommend enough!
