Do I need to be staying at Aavya to visit for the day?

Not at all. The day retreat is open to everyone — whether you're staying in Tapovan, visiting Rishikesh for the day, or just passing through. Room guests do get an additional 10% discount on all activities and meals.

Do I need to book in advance?

We recommend sending us a WhatsApp message the evening before or morning of your visit so we can confirm availability for specific sessions like pottery or spa. Walk-ins are welcome for most activities depending on capacity.

Comfortable clothes you can move in, a water bottle, and an open mind. Yoga mats, pottery tools, and all materials are provided. If you're coming for a spa session, we provide towels and everything you need.

Can I just come for one session?

Absolutely. You can pick a single pottery session, one yoga class, or just lunch at the café. There's no minimum — design your day however you like.

How do the activity discounts work?

The more sessions you add, the more you save. 3 activities gets you 10% off, 5 activities gets you 15% off, and 7+ activities unlocks 20% off all activities for the day.

Meals are optional and can be added individually. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available at the café with fresh, vegetarian, locally sourced food. Room guests receive a 10% discount on meals as well.

How do I get to Aavya from Rishikesh?

Aavya is in Upper Tapovan, about 15 minutes by auto or scooter from Ram Jhula. We recommend using our detailed directions page rather than Google Maps, as it can be unreliable in the winding lanes of Upper Tapovan. Look for landmarks like 60s Café and Ganesha Palace.

What time can I arrive and how late can I stay?

Morning sessions start around 7:30 AM, and evening sessions wrap up by 8 PM. You're welcome to arrive anytime and stay as long as your chosen activities run. The café is open throughout the day.

You don't need to be staying with us. Come for movement, throw some clay, let the sound bowls do their work — or simply eat well and watch the hills go quiet.

What a day feels like

A day at Aavya

No rigid schedule. No pressure to maximise. Just a slow, creative, conscious day in the hills of Tapovan — shaped around you.

Morning

🌿

Move

Slow movement, breathwork, or yoga that feels like play, not performance. Start the day with your body, not your phone.
