Long-term spiritual retreats, meditation, yoga & holistic living beside India's holiest river
The Narmada — one of India's seven sacred rivers — flows through the heart of Madhya Pradesh, carrying with it millennia of spiritual energy. Jabalpur, seated on her banks, is a city where ancient temples, ghats, and forests converge in divine harmony.
At Shanti Narmada, we offer carefully curated studio apartments and ashram-style accommodations right beside the river — designed for seekers who wish to go beyond a short visit and truly immerse themselves in a life of meditation, yoga, Ayurveda, and sacred ritual.
Whether you are an individual soul on a journey inward, a couple seeking stillness, or a group of practitioners — our long-stay retreats provide the perfect sanctuary.
Explore ancient temples, ghats and spiritual sites nestled along the Narmada — all within reach of your retreat.
Guided by experienced masters, our daily practices are rooted in ancient Vedic tradition — honouring the sacred river that flows beside us.
The Narmada is one of the most sacred rivers in Hindu tradition. Unlike other holy rivers, a single circumambulation (Parikrama) of the Narmada — spanning 2,600 km — is considered a lifetime's pilgrimage.
Gwarighat in Jabalpur is the starting point of this sacred Parikrama. Every evening, the river comes alive with the glow of oil lamps and the sound of bhajans.
Each apartment is designed for stillness — minimalist, clean, and facing the river. Step outside and you are already at the ghat.
All packages include accommodation, yoga classes, and access to our meditation halls. Ayurvedic meals and guided Parikrama are available as add-ons.
Whether you are planning a one-month stay or a year-long Sadhana, we are here to help you find the right retreat. Reach out and let us craft a sacred itinerary just for you.
