Pilgrimage · Yatra

Walk the path together.

A few times a year, Mridula leads a small group somewhere sacred — to the burning ghats of Varanasi, the cliff-temple of Tiger's Nest, the white silence above Manasarovar, a holy well on the Irish coast. The routes that shaped her own path, walked slowly, in good company, with everything carried for you. Most journeys run five days; Kailash, the great one, takes ten.

Why walk a yatra?

A pilgrimage is not a holiday. It is an old human instinct — to move toward something sacred with your whole body, and to let the walking do its quiet work. You arrive somewhere outwardly; you also arrive somewhere within. People come back changed in ways they find hard to name, and grateful they went.

Small, and truly personal.

This is not a coachload of strangers behind a distant teacher. Every Manalok yatra is eight to twelve people, with two leaders who travel the whole way with you from Ireland — Mridula among them. You are known by name, your practice is tended daily, and no one is left at the back of the crowd. The intimacy is the point.

From, per person. Includes the guidance and daily practice of two journey leaders travelling with the group from Ireland, ground transport, accommodation, most meals, local guides and permits. Excludes international flights, insurance and visas. Final price depends on group size and season. Deliberately small groups — minimum 8, maximum 12 guests — so each journey is intimate and personally led. Please enquire at least 2–3 months before travel, so permits, flights and places can be properly arranged. By email enquiry onlywrite to Mridula about a journey →
