Study in Rishikesh

The yoga capital of the world

The campus sits in Tapovan, a quiet, forested neighbourhood of Laxman Jhula on the banks of the Ganges. Rishikesh is not simply a city — it is where yoga was codified, where teachers trained for centuries, and where the river, the mountains and the ashram rhythm create a learning environment that cannot be reproduced in a studio.

Walking distance from the Ganges and Laxman Jhula bridge
5 km from Rishikesh city centre and railway station
35 km from Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun (DED)
240 km from Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi
Accommodation coordination and arrival support included
Sattvic meals and local excursions guided by school
