Join us on the journey of a lifetime
Are you ready for adventure? Are you willing to move out of your comfort zone and push yourself beyond your boundaries, to confront a reality profoundly spiritual yet totally chaotic? Then take the plunge and join us as we explore the holy places of India where ancient wonders lay waiting to be discovered, half hidden behind a veneer of modernity. But be aware that this is no ordinary tour; it is a journey of self-discovery, a life-changing experience that will challenge you on all levels of your being. Are you ready for the fun? Let’s go!!!
Please do read everything on this site as its there to give you a good idea what the tour is about (and what not). If you have any questions please don’t hesitate at all to write me or Didi. Do also write me if you like to receive the tours, low volume, mailing list.

Identify yourself with Him and you will realize that even the minutest and tiniest objects are you. You are the Pacific Ocean. The universe, which is the manifestation of the Cosmic Energy, will appear as your own manifestation. The universe, which is the play of God also, gives Him ecstatic bliss. You meditate on Him and He meditates on you.
It is aimed at newer margiis (those who adopted Ananda Marga as their path) in the age group of 18 to 38. However if you are older and know you can adjust with the flow you are also welcome. It’s not for families and may not be suitable for couples. You also need to be able to communicate in English. During the last years many participants were over 30 and up to 50+. So age is really no problem as long as you are flexible and able to adjust to all the challenges, internally and externally. If in any doubt just contact us.
I am Dada Krpasundarananda and have again the honor to organize the tour this year. I was born in the Netherlands, and worked in Ananda Marga for the last 34 years; in Europe, Australia , New Zealand, Africa and now in Mexico. I became a monk in 1991. This will be my 28th tour. I love out door activities, and am very interested in alternative building techniques and energy. For several years I kept a photo newsletter on my website. Have a look if you like to know more.
Depending on the size of the group there may be other Dadas or Didis (monks and nuns) who participate part, or full time. You will be in good hands.
USD 2295
There are many discounts possible especially when registering early with a deposit.
While on tour, we chant and meditate together twice daily (or more depending on the desire of the group). We also visit many beautiful temples and sites sacred to different religions. Beside the spiritual we also have a 6 – 10 day trek in the Himalayas, we will do Rafting, a Camel Safari and many other activities. Though not included in the cost of the tour, you could optionally do activities such as a short Elephant ride in Jaipur, Paragliding or a Mountain flight in Nepal and other things along the way.
This trip to India and Nepal was first organized in 1991. Those days it was just for our university meditation groups in New Zealand and Australia. Over the years the tour has expanded to a truly international event and for people of all ages. It has been so successful that we were able to hold this tour almost every year till today.
This will be the 28th trip to set off to explore both the mysteries of these ancient lands and, through meditation & plenty challenges the depth of our own minds and hearts.

Dada Krpasundarananda, Didi Malati and Didi Ananda Chandra Chekara are all amazing acaryas and share so much love through their knowledge, stories, food and more. I got all I wanted out of the tour and grew tremendously on all levels of life. I will also always remember the amazing people on the tour and how close we all got. In the end the people were the most amazing thing about this whole experience!.
Yogesh - 2018-2019
It was a challenging and vibrant experience. Beside wonderful landscapes, the good mood in the group and the meditation practices during the journey keep the path more easy and pleasant. At least once in your life you should do it!
Prakash - Brazil
I went on the India Tour from Dec 10 2018 - Jan 24 2019. And now, as I am writing this review in March 2019, I had a lot of time to settle down and examine how this tour has had an impact on me. And boy, oh boy I have much to tell.
Bhishma - 2018-2019
On an adventure there is only the reality of the moment and all responsibilities, all the apparently important things in our lives take a back seat and we simply have to exist in the present. We survive right now, or we thrive right now... and we dive right now into the fullness and richness of life!
Didi Ananda Ragamaya
In my days since returning from the India Tour, I have reflected upon the power and importance contained within the essence of Samgacchadhvam. It is not hard to enjoy living together with friends and/or like-minded people when there is no friction, but when they eat your yogurt or leave their clothes in the laundry machines...
Gopi Krsna - 2009-2010
Namaskar dear friends..Thanks for your emails, Didi and Sulocana, its nice to read how everyone is now that the tour, weirdly (!) is over.. Hope to hear from the rest of you as well.
Mokshadevi - 2009-2010
I loved everything about the trip, the ups AND downs. You asked my suggestions for future tour but I'd say... don't change anything. Really... I think it's inevitable that obstacles happen on a trip like that, especially with a group so large...
Mohan Krsna (USA)
I remember being in the last part of the trekking (in Nepal) and feeling sad because we were in the end of it and soon I wouldn't be in the company of those wonderful people in all those wonderful places that I will never forget.
