Dear Friends! I invite you to make a trek in the Himalayas, Yoga and pranayama, meditations, mantras and immersing in yourself will be an integral part of our journey. The purpose of our trek will be a pilgrimage to the sacred lake of Montalay to receive the blessing, wisdom and mercy of the goddess Parvati - the Mother of Universe. Among the locals, Lake Montalay is known as a place of exceptional strength, giving life energy and removing obstacles from the spiritual path. Many local residents try to visit the lake at least once a year and perform ritual ablution - snanam. Here, from time to time, they find the only black diamonds of the Goddess Parvaty. The total absence of settlements and people within a radius of 60 km preserves the purity of the pristine place - the womb of Mother Parvaty, the womb of the Universe. Our path will take place in two dimensions - along the mountain trails of the Himalayas and along the back streets of our own subconscious. We will have a unique opportunity to visit the shrines of the Himalayas, charge the health and vitality of the mountain air, learn the techniques of Himalayan Yoga and find out about yourself what the city lacks neither the time nor the energy. The path of the spirit will take us into the depths of the subconscious, from where it all began - to the point of beginning. The basis of the seminar will be the practice of deep immersion of Raja Yoga. The sequence of Prithvi namaskar, pranayama and mantra yoga, 40-50 minute practices of Yoga nidra will help us in this. Introspection and awakening, harmony of the universe and personality, mother nature is our very first Guru, and mother Earth is the foundation of our life and health, this is the preamble of our seminar.

VIDEO FROM PAST TOURS:
The Himalayas are special mountains, there are many beautiful places on our planet, but none can compare with the Himalayas by the power of awakening the spirit. Many feel a sense of "deja vu", personally I feel myself on the threshold of eternity. All the bustle of the lowlands and cities here seems empty and in vain, looking at the greatness of these mountains, problems and troubles look small and far-fetched. The right word, who in the Himalayas was not - life wasted.
Now it is difficult to find places even in the Himalayas where there is no human activity, and going to Lake Montalay is one of the few exceptions. Glory to Shiva the entire area is in the reserve and is still little known to a wide range of tourists. Here there are European and Indian nature together join, palms grow in the lowlands and parrots fly, and at the height cedars and birches and strawberries. As we rise, the landscape changes from forest to marshmallow, blossoms and a scrounger and on the very lake of Montalay only rocks and ice on the tops of the mountains. At night sitting by the fire under the stars of the Himalayas, one can involuntarily feel part of this eternal world, part of our Mother - planet Earth . There are places where you can simultaneously see seven waterfalls, often with a rainbow, the water flowing from the mountains is unique in its healing properties - living water. Visiting these places can radically change life - to remove karmic blocks and to uncover what slumbers deep in the subconscious, to show the beauty and grandeur of the universe, so difficult to discern behind the smog of techno cities. Therefore, for thousands of years, sages and yogis make a pilgrimage to the Montalay Lake.
Places:
Manikaran
The entire valley of the Parvati River is the favorite place of the whole family of the god of the gods - Mahadev, everyone lives here - Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha, Skanda. When we bathe in the waters of Manikaran, we wash off bad deeds and charge ourselves with health from the very depths of the earth. In addition to public baths, you can rent an indoor private pool right in the hotel. We will visit several temples and the Sikh Gurudwar. They say that this place was meditated by Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh tradition.
Shiva temple
Perhaps the main temple of the whole area. There is a hot source of radon water with a temperature of 90 degrees, right in the source is brewed rice for sowing. Local Brahmans give prasadam and blessings. In numerous shops, a selection of local souvenirs and clothes for the mountains.
Rama temple
The most delicious in the world prasadam. The temple is filled with the atmosphere of goodness and peace. After visiting several temples of Manikaran, something changes inside, vibrations of ancient culture and spirituality fill the body, mind and soul.
Khirganga
Khir - sweet milk rice porridge - Shiva's favorite food. The place is famous for its sulphate hot spring and Shiva temple, according to legend in Khirganga, Skanda - the son of Shiva and Parvaty performed penance. Nowadays there are several restaurants for tourists and some simple rooms for overnight stays. This is the last settlement before going to the lake.
Hot spring
Separate bathing facilities for men and women, after bathing I feel like 20 years younger. Sulphate water of the source has medicinal properties. Slightly above the spring is the Shiva temple, a traditional architecture for Himachal Pradesh, made of stone and wood. Several times a year there are religious festivals.
Himalaya
And around are the magical Himalayas. Fairy tale alike it is. From the mountains flow down rivers and waterfalls, eagles soar in the sky, the fog turns into clouds and slides into valleys. Evenings in the restaurants of Khirganga travelers from all over the world gather and often take place live music concerts. Several times the festival "Rainbow" was held in Khirganga.
Montalay
Lake Montalay is the source of the Parvati River, the feeling is that this lake is the birthplace of the whole world, the water running from the mountains is filled with mica and minerals, glistens in the sun with silver and gold. They say that if you spend the night on the lake and do not fall asleep, Mother Parvaty will present a black diamond - a symbol of blessing. We will spend one night on the lake, take a bath and do Shiva puja.
In the valleys, herds of horses, sometimes shepherds with goats and sheep come across, fields of flowers and motley grass - heaven on earth brings peace to the soul. The air is such that I eat it with a spoon - as sweet as honey.
The stars at night are such that it seems possible to reach out with your hand and the snow-capped peaks of the surrounding mountains look like sleeping giants. In general, all nature is alive here, every stone, every mountain and stream, everything breathes, grows and watches, and all nature sings "Om Namah Shivaya! Jaya Mata Parvaty, Jay Ganesha Deva, Jaya Skanda Kartikeya, Jaya Mahadeva!" After visiting Montalay, life will not be the same, new horizons and prospects will open up in oneself. Reincarnation.
