FLIGHTS:
We offer to book the international flights, at no extra charge, for the students who wish to travel with the group.
For this trip, we have chosen a flight with Etihad Airways, from Madrid to Chennai, with a stopover in Abu Dhabi.
IMPORTANT:
To keep the price of the flights as low as possible, for this trip we will be booking the flights individually, instead of booking a group of seats in advance. In this way, each plane ticket will be much more economical, and the group is guaranteed to all be on the same flight. However, payment for the flights must be made in full at the time of booking.
Flight prices can fluctuate, and the tendency is for prices to increase as the weeks go by and as bookings increase. For this reason, we recommend you book as soon as possible.
FLIGHT PRICES: Contact us and we will inform you of the current price of the flights. (Price at the time of publishing, 3rd November 2025: 740 euros per person, return.)
Students also have the option of booking their own flights. If the arrival and departure times of these flights do not coincide with those of the main group, we will arrange taxis on request for the airport transfers. The cost of each transfer is approximately 70 Euros per taxi (max 4 persons).

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS TRIP?
Colours, aromas of spices, exotic flavours and, above all, spirituality. India is the birthplace of yoga and meditation and now the place to let yourself be carried away in wonder. Do you need answers? Do you crave serenity? On this trip you will reach your desired balance between body and spirit. It will be an authentic voyage toward inner peace.
In a life full of chaos, stress and anxiety, we suggest emptying the mind, freeing the space occupied by banalities and open a door so that only what really matters may enter. Distance yourself from all the noise, “reconnect” with yourself and return with a different perspective, with a new way of being and living.
Our stay will be in Tiruvannamalai, one of the holiest cities in the state of Tamil Nadu, located in the south of India and at the foot of the majestic Arunachala hill. Roughly 800 metres high and with a pyramidal shape, the hill is considered a manifestation of Lord Shiva. Every full moon, thousands of pilgrims surround its base in a purification ritual as part of a magical ceremony known as Girivalam.
The Hindu temple of Arunachaleswarar, one of the most spectacular in all of India, stands here in honour to the god. Lying over 10 hectares of surface area and with 9 magnificent towers, it is among the greatest temples in the world in its category. Nearby, at any time of year it is possible to see worshippers and sadhus, spiritual men or “monks who follow the path of penitence and austerity in order to reach enlightenment”.
A profound energy that permeates the city of Tiru has led to the creation of numerous ashrams which every year attract huge crowds of people from around the world as a part of their spiritual journey. With Sri Swami Purohit, “Swamiji”, we will have the chance to make daily visits to the ashrams. The main ones are:
Sri Ramana Ashram
Also known as Sri Ramanasramam, it was home to Ramana Maharshi from 1922 until his death in 1950 at the age of 70.
Sri Ramana is considered one of the most prominent spiritual masters of India and one of the most well-known and influential Hindu clergymen of the 20th century. His teachings focused on the atma-vichara, or “self-inquiry” of the soul. In this method, the individual focuses his or her attention on the “I-thought”, with the aim of finding his or her origin.
“What we find in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana is the purest essence of India…” “…they are not only important for the Hindu, but for the westerner as well. They are of great human interest, but are also a message of warning directed at humanity that risks losing itself in the chaos of its unconscious and its lack of control”. Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.
The practice of meditation and yoga in Tiruvannamalai is an unparalleled experience. This unique city offers the opportunity to experience the deepest silence and remain unburdened by external thoughts. Our accommodations will include a brightly-lit hallwith incomparable views where every day Swamiji will impart his teachings to all of us as we practice yoga y meditation.
We will visit Arunachala as well as all of the temples and attractions. We will journey through history and experience the culture and traditions of this fascinating enclave. It is a magnificent opportunity to delve into spiritual practices and promote our inner and emotional growth thanks to the sacred and special energy of this place. This is a trip oriented to the body and the mind, an authentic spiritual experience.
