    Sacred Yatra to Madhyamaheshwar – Join Us for a Cultural & Spiritual Himalayan Experience

    Namaste 🙏 My name is Saket.I'm from a village of Saharanpur ,Uttar Pradesh
    We are a small group of friends hosting a meaningful journey to Madhyamaheshwar, one of the Panch Kedar temples nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas, this October. We warmly invite respectful, culturally curious souls through Workaway who wish to deeply connect with Indian spirituality, nature, and simple village life.

    🌿 What You’ll Experience:

    Trek through majestic Himalayan paths

    Visit sacred temples and mountain villages

    Learn about Indian traditions, daily rituals, and local wisdom

    Participate in yoga, meditation, and soulful discussions

    Enjoy local vegetarian food and basic yet peaceful accommodations

    Engage in light volunteer work like helping with camp setup, photography, cooking, or interacting with villagers


    💫 Who We’re Looking For:

    Open-minded, grounded individuals with a respectful and curious attitude

    Those who value simplicity, silence, and cultural exchange

    Comfortable with physical activity and basic living conditions in the mountains


    This is not a luxury tour—it’s a transformational yatra into the heart of Indian spirituality. If this speaks to you, we’d be honored to walk this path together.
