Begin the morning with yoga practice and a nourishing breakfast at the ashram. Afterward, set out on a scenic 7-hour drive (225 km) through winding mountain roads, forests, and valleys. Along the way, pause at Devprayag, the sacred confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers, where the holy Ganga officially takes form. The journey also offers breathtaking views of terraced fields, traditional Himalayan villages, and cascading rivers. By late afternoon, arrive at the Triyuginarayan Temple, the legendary site where Shiva and Parvati were wed according to mythology. In the evening, settle in with gentle yoga, followed by a wholesome dinner and rest at a mountain guesthouse.

Begin the day with morning yoga to energize the body before heading out on a gentle 4 km forest trail that leads to the beautiful Deoria Tal Lake (2,438 m). Surrounded by dense rhododendron and pine forests, the lake mirrors the snow-capped peaks of Chaukhamba and neighboring Himalayan ranges, creating a scene of pure tranquility.

According to local legend, Deoria Tal is the lake where the Pandavas were questioned by Yaksha in the Mahabharata, testing their wisdom and patience. The still waters are believed to hold mystical qualities, making it a sacred place for meditation and reflection.

As evening falls, unwind with yoga practice by the lake, enjoy a cozy bonfire and stargazing, and spend the night camping beside the shimmering waters.
