Some people travel for adventure, while others are looking for a place to relax. There might be no better place to engage in some peaceful meditation than India. Here are the top five meditation retreats in the country that knows how to do it best.
The Art of Living International Center

Tushita Meditation Centre
Dharamsala is the seat of exile for the Dalai Lama and a popular spot for people looking to sit in on one of his teachings for free. The center focuses on the study of the Tibetan Mahayana tradition of meditation. It’s a wonderful resource for budding Buddhists or those interested in learning more about the practice.
Shreyas Yoga Retreat
The Shreyas Yoga Retreat is a meditation center and luxury resort in one. Located in Bangalore, the retreat offers rejuvenation spas, meditation sessions, organic cuisine and an infinity pool all on 25 beautiful acres.

Anānda in the Himalayas
Anānda is one of the most highly respected retreats in the world and is set amongst the spectacular backdrop of the Himalayas.
