I knew I needed to go on this yatra when I first read about it. The journey was everything I’d hoped for and more. Stephanie and Ganga Devi provided a gentle introduction to navigating the cultural waters of India, and their embodied Devi wisdom permeated every aspect of the trip, from dance to yoga, sightseeing and train travel. Despite the group speaking two different languages (English and Portuguese), love permeated all interactions and I’ll always cherish the connections made. The sites visited were fantastic; yogini temples were 🔥🔥🔥. All in all it was amazing. Thank you Mountain Shakti and Ganga ❤️❤️❤️!

I am so full of love and gratitude after this wilderness goddess backpacking retreat. Stephanie is a beautiful soul who is relatable, thoughtful and the best person to laugh with. I felt so seen by her and I learned much through her wisdom and teachings. During one of our morning mediations, as I opened my heart up to the wisdom of the Goddess Radha, quiet tears started pouring down my cheeks as clarity for something I haven’t understood about myself for decades was realized. I am so grateful for this. The mountains, the goddesses, the new friends, the backpacking, yoga, meditation, the views and good energy…all EPIC!

Fantastic deep dive into Nepalese culture, yoga, meditation and the traditions of Dashain! I highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Nepal in a small, like-minded group with a knowledgeable and experienced guide. From learning about and honoring ancient spiritual traditions to hiking in the Himalayas, this is a trip of a lifetime!
