Gypsy Ātman is based on the belief that we're all travelers seeking our own spiritual journey. The word "gypsy" means traveler, and "Ātman" means soul. Love and compassion are at the core of Gypsy Ātman. Travel with us to the hidden corners of India to travel inward. Find your own spiritual path in the Himalayas through yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, community work, and adventure.A common thread running through each of our travels and retreats is authenticity. We want to show you the real India, beyond the tourist hotspots: small villages, scenic mountain passes, ancient temples, and organic farms. We have also built principles of wellness into each of our itineraries to help you experience spiritual, emotional, and physical healing.Each retreat is a beautiful opportunity for travelers, explorers, artists, and creatives to explore different cultures and immerse themselves in self-learning and creative growth. Our Manali retreat can be an inspiration for outdoor adventurers and art lovers who want to explore the local galleries, or artists dreaming of painting en plein air in the Himalayan sunshine. Our Kumaon retreat is ideal for writers who want to connect to their craft in a peaceful environment. If you wish to immerse yourself into the world of yoga and ayurveda, Rishikesh awaits you. And, if meditating in monasteries and road trips are your thing, nothing can beat our Spiti Valley adventure!We're proud to be agents of change in the communities to which we travel. Our community partners include farmers, artisans, and local self-help groups. We practice the principle of Karma Yoga, the path of unselfish action, by giving back to the communities who so graciously host Gypsy Ātman's guests during our travels.
