Om Yoga Ashram is a small family-run yoga ashram near Dal Lake on the edge of McLeod Ganj, looking over the Kangra valley. Its six-day retreats start every Monday and combine morning asana and pranayama, meditation, chanting, philosophy and evening aarti, under fairly strict ashram rules.
Our take · editors' note
Suits: Suits beginners wanting a disciplined, family-run ashram week in McLeod Ganj: daily yoga, pranayama, meditation and aarti, sattvic meals, and twin rooms with Kangra valley views.
Maybe not for: Not for couples wanting time together or anyone after a relaxed holiday: physical affection is not allowed, aarti and seva are compulsory, and guests must be back by 10 pm.
