Our hikes are accessible to a broad range of fitness levels and are designed to complement your yoga practice — enhancing both energy and mindfulness. Learn about the region’s unique biodiversity from expert guides and connect deeply with the life that surrounds you.
Camp Atagahi: Sacred Ground
Named after a mythical healing lake known only to the pure of heart, Camp Atagahi is more than a place to stay — it’s part of the retreat experience itself. With its babbling brook, lush rhododendrons, and secluded mountainside location, the camp offers a peaceful sanctuary for reflection, connection, and restoration. Cozy nights by the fire and the sounds of the forest will cradle you into restful sleep each night.
Community & Connection
While personal reflection is at the core of this retreat, the sense of community is what makes it truly unforgettable. You’ll share this journey with a group of like-minded individuals — all seeking healing, growth, and presence. Through shared meals, hikes, yoga practices, and heartful conversation, meaningful connections naturally unfold.
This is more than a retreat — it’s a return to your essential self.
Come as you are, and leave replenished, reconnected, and full of life.
