Tour Details

The purpose of this Far East North India Yoga Journey is to provide travellers with an introduction to the ancient spiritual traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism throughout North India.

About The journey

This is a journey like no other, a cultural exploration in the heart and soul of East India.

Travelling in a well organised group, the aim of our journey is to take you on an adventure to some of the most culturally and spiritually rich areas of the Eastern North India.

Tour Highlights

Kolkata – The Soul of Bengal

Kolkata, the cultural heart of West Bengal, pulses with history, spirit, and creativity. Known as the “City of Joy,” it is a place where the sacred and the everyday intertwine—where quiet temples and stand alongside colonial architecture, bustling markets, and streets alive with poetry, music, and art.

Odisha – The Land of the Sun Temple

Nestled along the eastern coastline of India, the state of Odisha (formerly Orissa) is a land where spirituality, art, and natural beauty flow together in harmony. Unlike the more well-trodden paths of India’s northern circuits, Odisha offers a quieter, more soulful journey—perfect for seekers, yogis, and travellers drawn to deeper connection.

We continue on our path next to the mighty foothills of the Himalaya, to the famous Tea making plantations of Darjeeling, home to the former British Raj. After feeling rejuvenated with the mountain air, we head back south to the Holy City of Varanasi on the Ganges River. We will be finished our incredible journey in Indias capital of Delhi

Yoga Teacher – Bianca Machliss

Bianca is the co-founder and owner of Yoga Synergy and has over 30 years’ experience teaching yoga, managing a studio and creating a community. Bianca’s passion for yoga has led to the creation of Yoga Synergy daily yoga classes, workshops, teacher training courses and international events. After a life-changing trip to India, she developed her own very deep connection with the practice. I found peace and joy, and a sanctuary that was very much needed.

A land of staggering natural beauty, cultural complexities, rolling green rice paddies, and hill-tribe villages, Vietnam is both exotic and compelling and the perfect destination for Yoga & Wellness

We start in the northern city of Hanoi, known for its centuries-old architecture and rich Asian, Chinese, and French influences.

Next, we embark on a private Yoga & sightseeing cruise overlooking the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay.

Further on, prepare to be mesmerised in the heart of Zen Buddhism with a stay at a luxury hotel, built to look like a 13th-century Buddhist monastery and Chinese imperial palace.

After feeling spiritually rejuvenated, we head to the outskirts of the French colonial town of Hoi Ann and stay at a tranquil rural village
Yoga retreat.

Your mornings will be spent practising Yoga, enjoying spa and massage treatments, whilst overlooking the swaying palm trees and green rice paddies.

Our journey ends south in the capital of Saigon, known also as Ho Chi Minh City for more historical sightseeing and some incredible food experiences which Vietnam is famous for
