where's ghiyagi?

Ghiyagi is a serene, lesser-known Himalayan village, right above Jibhi, in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh. It's part of the Seraj valley and falls on the way to Jalori Pass. Home to dense pine forests, making its way gently through the Pushpabhadra river, and showing off the Himalayas as its backdrop, Ghiyagi wraps us in the most real and authentic mountain experiences.

Flow is our format of curated, 3-day, self-explorative residencies, bringing our heart and soul at peace, by freeing them of these air-tight containers the society constantly tries to put them in.

We're not meant to be so rigid with ourselves and our surroundings, but the weight of life gets too much sometimes.

Flow is where you shed this weight, and come to terms with reality. The real reality is beautiful - all of us are one, and there's no pressure to run faster, or run at all.

It is an experience that connects you to yourself through:

- nature
- art and expression
- the power of community
- raw, authentic, and cultural stories

what is flow?

who is it for?

Flow~Ghiyagi is for folks who:

- crave real connections
- need some time off in raw, untouched nature
- want to travel within and know themselves better
- are fascinated by local mountain culture
- want to experience 3 days of no stress, no rush
- wish to express themselves and be who they are
- believe that simple joys are the most rewarding
- prioritize peace over hustle, especially during travels

From our last flow🤎

27th June/Day 1:

Reach the homestay around 11 am, after a short drive from Aut Tunnel. Soak in the energy of the mountains. Meet the curating team and feel at ease. Rest your heart and mind. Experience the introductory session on self-discovery, play games to bring your body to space, and get to know your fellows.

Take a guided walk in the dense forests of Ghiyagi and towards the Sajwad waterfall. Breathe and feel how tiny we all are. Sing your heart out with live music, groove a little or a lot. Retire for the night after a soulful dinner.

28th June/Day 2:

Start the day with an early breakfast. Take in the morning sun. Drive to Jalori Pass, and begin your hike/trek from 10,500 ft. Be awed by the majestic Dhauladhar, Pir Panjal, and Shivalik ranges on all four sides. Hold a steaming hot plate of rajma chawal in your cold hands.

Experience love and gratitude like never before. Lose yourself to time and space. Take the second healing workshop. Return in time for the sunset at Shojha. End the day with stories that'd last you a lifetime. 

29th June/Day 3:

Open the day with a deep session around energy work. Express yourself through colours, strokes, words, and movement. Listen to your thoughts and give a voice/shape to your feelings. Connect with other souls on a real level. Look into the eyes of strangers and feel like a human again.

Indulge in the traditional Himachali dhaam of Kullu. Jump in the river, then  sit back to witness a musical spoken word show. Treat yourself with your comfort food, for having surrendered to this beautiful flow of life.

access

June is a beautiful month to be in Ghiyagi and Jibhi. Pre-monsoon looks gorgeous on the valley. There's enough mist and rain to get lost in, and sometimes just enough sun to hold on to.

Expect temperatures around 15-20°C in the day, with an opportunity to jump in the river if it's sunny, and somewhere around 5-9°C at night. The roads are safely accessible, and rains only mean more hidden and seasonal waterfalls!
