Tapovan Ashram:

“I thought Tapovan was mesmerizing in its stark beauty. I loved the hills and surrounding villages. I really thought it was special.” Vanessa Bolton, London

A spiritually oriented holistic health resort located in a serene, peaceful and hilly environment, in village Nayakheda, 8 miles from Udaipur. Tapovan ashram is a place of good and healthy living, uniting the trio of body, mind and spirit in a calm, pollution free environment. Here we have an ayurvedic and herbal plantation, library, rooms for yoga and meditation and a few basic cottages to stay. We also have a phone and, on request, massage and other ayurvedic treatments are available at very low cost. The ashram has its own cows for fresh milk and two horses for riding.

The city of lakes, hidden amongst the hills that encompass the great Pichola Lake -- has been called the 'Venice of the East'. Indeed, with its enchanting palaces surrounded by mirror-like lakes, undulating hills and colourful bazaars, Udaipur looks as though it has been lifted straight from the pages of an Arabian Night's fairy tale book. The hills, the lakes and the altitude give Udaipur an extremely agreeable climate. Probably no other city in Rajasthan is quite as romantic as Udaipur. A visit to Udaipur is a must for travellers who want to experience the unique and vibrant history of India.

Excursion to Mt. Abu ,staying in a luxury palace hotel, followed by a visit to Ranakpur, one of the most beautiful temple complexes, staying in a comfortable forest lodge, will make your visit supremely memorable.

From Bombay take a train to Ahemdabad. From Ahemdabad, you can take the train or bus to Udaipur. There are many trains in the day time and the journey takes about 6-7 hours,. but it is very busy.
