India
Four guides here, all about going to India for something specific rather than a general look around: Ayurveda in Kerala, yoga in Rishikesh, and a ranked run through the retreats that come up most often.
Prices are the part most guides skip or fudge. These carry rupee and dollar figures with the date they were checked, because ashram rates move and a lot of the numbers still circulating are two years old. Where somewhere is coasting on its reputation, that gets said.
Written for someone flying in, so the visa position, getting there from the nearest airport, and what a week actually looks like get as much room as the practice does.
