Akhanda Sri Jungle Ashram & Retreat is a sacred continuation of India’s ancient forest-dwelling Yogic tradition, created as a natural sanctuary for advanced Sadhana, meditation, and self-inquiry. Nestled deep in the remote Himalayan foothills of Pauri Garhwal, just 27 km from Rishikesh, this forest Ashram invites seekers to retreat from distraction and reawaken to the rhythms of nature and soul.
Here, the sounds of mountain birds, the owing stream through the Ashram grounds, the purity of clean Himalayan air, and the magnetic silence of the forest hold space for healing, reection, and inner awakening.
Designed by Himalayan Master Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu for advanced Sadhana and immersion, Akhanda Sri Jungle Ashram is Akhanda’s newest global community space — a living sanctuaryfor Yoga, meditation, creative work, treks, swims, and stillness.
Whether you join a formal training or simply come for solitude, nature healing, or group retreatwork, this Ashram is your sacred ground for deep reconnection and personal evolution.
