Mediation is done to get in tune with the nature and our surroundings and the best way to do that is by being one with nature itself. You could be meditating on the banks of some of the most beautiful lakes in the Himalayas or walking along the banks of a river, but the idea is to absorb the beauty and grandeur of nature.
The concept of meditation trekking involves Zen walk along the high Himalayan belt in Leh, Ladakh and is the Dhauladhar ranges in and around Dharamsala. However we need a minimum of 5 participants for this program. You will be trekking with a meditation teacher who will obviously be talking to you and discussing meditations or other ancient stories in the Tibetan tradition. Rather than sitting in a class room environment you would be trekking and learning.
Meditation Trekking Retreats (5 to 7 days) are conducted from mid May to till the end of September (Ladakh). In Sham, the Meditation trekking retreat starts from Liker to the Vipassana Valley in Tingmosgang Village. Between these two points, pass many villages like Yangthang, Rizdon Monastery, Himesshukpachan and Tseskarma Gonpa. The trek offers views of streams, snow capped mountains, rocks and passes.
Not only will you benefit physically but your mind will be at peace as well. If you ever wanted to get a taste of what it might have been for the traditional lamas who wandered on these mountains meditating, this Meditation Trekking pretty much comes the closest to giving you such an experience nowadays.
The cost of the Trek includes, Accommodation, Pony, Cook, Guide and Meditation teacher. However please bear in mind that these treks can be conducted from May till September (Ladakh) only as after this it tends to get really cold. Treks to Dharamsala are open throughout the year.
