Meditation and silent retreat centres in Rishikesh

232 centres in Rishikesh run meditation as a programme in its own right rather than a half-hour appended to an asana class. That includes vipassana courses, silent retreats where the silence is actually kept, and ashrams whose meditation halls open before sunrise. Sitting practice asks something different of a place than a yoga shala does, so it is worth checking the daily schedule before booking.
