ABOUT JAPAM Yoga, Treks & Tours

At Japam, we offer experiences rooted in yoga, movement, and time in nature.

Our classes, treks, and retreats are guided by the intention to provide a pressure-free environment where one can learn and integrate while staying aligned with what feels right.

Our experiences are not about performance or transformation, but about cultivating awareness through a fluid rhythm, clear guidance, and presence.

People come as they are, and progressively open to pause and observe, moving away from reaction into a more embodied awareness.

Yoga and trekking in Rishikesh

What's behind Japam?

Japam or Jap means silent repetition. It is the act of being absorbed in the constant repetition of the name of a God or of a Mantra. It is believed in Indian philosophy that this repetition, when done with utmost devotion and love, brings peace to the mind and purifies the soul.

This devotion and silent introspection, practiced at any place and moment, creates an awareness of the self and its environment.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND exploring Rishikesh and northern India with Japam! As a solo female traveler to India for my first time, this sunrise day-hike to Kunjapuri Temple was the perfect way to explore the natural beauty of Rishikesh. Himanshu and Sarah are the most gracious guides --incredibly hospitable and providing for us like old friends. Their commitment to curating a meaningful experience, combined with the natural beauty of the locations they curate, makes for an unforgettable experience. They tailored the trek to suit our preferences, ensuring that every aspect of the journey was both enjoyable and informative. Their attention to detail was evident in how seamlessly they managed logistics, from transportation to ensuring we had adequate water and snacks (and the perfect amount of chai breaks!). I am so grateful for the both of them and can't wait for my next trek with them!

The trek to Kunjapuri Temple was breathtaking, both in its spiritual significance and scenic beauty. Himanshu's expertise in local history enriched our experience, making the visit more than just a hike but a journey through the cultural heart of Rishikesh. The visit to Neer Waterfall was the perfect culmination of our trek. Himanshu provided us with ample time to enjoy the serene beauty of the waterfall, ensuring our safety while allowing us to relax and take in the natural splendor.

What sets Japam apart is their genuine care for their clients. Himanshu and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout the trek and after. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to share their insights about the local culture and environment made our experience incredibly special.

Aside from our trek, Himanshu is an INCREDIBLE yoga instructor. He is deeply knowledgeable about his craft and provides the perfect hands-on assist to refine your practice. His studio, located in Upper Tapovan in Rishikesh, artistically cultivates the peaceful and clarifying energy that is Rishikesh and her people. Highly recommend any drop-in classes!!
