Four Chapters of the Indian Karmaverse Continues…
Deep in Sikkim’s Himalayan heartlands, where monasteries cling to rocky slopes and yak bells punctuate mountain mists, Karma Martam Retreat is set to unveil the second chapter of Karma’s immersive new odyssey around the subcontinent.
This six-day mountain pilgrimage begins with Nepali Thakali feasts—nettle curries and bamboo shoots that speak to ancient trade routes—before ascending to Nathu-La Pass, Tibet’s mysterious gateway where pilgrims have crossed from Sikkim to Tibet for centuries. The experience continues with magical dawn visits to 130-foot Buddha statues in Rabangla and meditative walks through cardamom-scented villages, where monks share butter tea secrets passed down through generations.
Gangtok’s Institute of Tibetology reveals esoteric manuscripts, while Pelling’s skywalks suspend guests above clouds that kiss Kanchenjunga’s sacred summit. Between monastery visits and waterfall pilgrimages, evenings unfold with courtyard games under star washed Himalayan skies, creating moments where strangers become fellow travellers on this transformative journey.
Experience intimate village encounters wandering among organic orange groves, witnessing churpi-making demonstrations, and salt tea ceremonies that connect guests to Sikkim’s living cultural tapestry.
Ahead, Chapter Three promises desert palaces and lake kingdoms: Jaipur’s Karma Haveli, Udaipur’s Seven Lakes sanctuary, Jaisalmer’s Golden Camp’s sea of dunes, and Mahabaleshwar’s Lakewood retreat—each destination another verse in India’s most poetic travel adventure narrative.
