Travel outward. Arrive inward.
Not a tour. A moving retreat. Silent hours on the road, sittings at every stop, and full days of stillness in one place, through the pines, the rivers and the high passes of the north.

Two kinds of days.
Travel days
The road becomes the practice
The vehicle is silent for the first hour of every drive and after every sitting. At each stop there is a short sitting. You arrive quieter than you left.
Stillness days
One place, all day
No driving. A sunrise sitting, a walk, the science hour, time alone in nature, dialogue with the teacher, the fire and the stars. A small retreat in the mountains.
What we arrange, what you bring.
Travel, stay and meals are arranged with our partner tour operator: the vehicle, the hotels, the food. Safdar Sahar and the team lead the practice. You bring your own personal things for the season.
How tours workSafety first
Mountain roads, weather and altitude carry real risks. Every tour has a first-aid kit, an experienced driver, and a stricter health form than the retreats. People with heart or breathing conditions must talk to their doctor first.
Health noticeQuestions
Are the tours silent?
Not fully. There are silent hours: the first hour of every drive, the sittings at each stop, and after dinner. Some days are full stillness days in one place.
Who arranges the travel and stay?
Travel, stay and meals are arranged by our partner tour operator. Safdar Sahar and the team lead the practice.
I take regular medicine. Can I come?
Usually yes. Tell us on the health form, bring your medicine, and never stop a medicine for a retreat.
