Uttarakhand (English: /ˌʊtəˈrɑːkʌnd/), officially the State of Uttarakhand (Uttarākhaṇḍ Rājya), formerly known as Uttaranchal, is a state in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Devbhumi (literally "Land of the Gods") due to many Hindu temples and pilgrimage centres found throughout the state. Uttarakhand is known for the natural environment of the Himalayas, the Bhabhar and the Terai. On 9 November 2000, Uttarakhand became the 27th state of the Republic of India, being created from the Himalayan and adjoining northwestern districts of Uttar Pradesh. It borders Tibet to the north; the Province No. 7 of Nepal to the east; and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south and Himachal Pradesh to the west and north-west as well as Haryana on its south-western corner. The state is divided into two divisions, Garhwal and Kumaon, with a total of 13 districts. The interim capital of Uttarakhand is Dehradun, the largest city of the state, which is a railhead. The High Court of the state is located in Nainital.

India is especially famous for it's vast and diverse cuisines, which has been influenced through the years by such cultures as Portuguese, Arabic, British and Persian.
This was the first thing I decided to do when planning my trip. I have never seen such great reviews on the Trip advisor for any attraction. I had high expectations, but Amit and his wife exceeded them on every level. They were so friendly and accessible. Explaining everything in perfect detail. He handed out sheets with all the recipes and detailed instructions, as well as an overview of the spices. A lot of good cooks can’t tell you why they cook the way they do. They learned from someone and never asked the science behind the rule. They know what to do, but they don’t know why. He can tell you exactly why you cook the aromatic spices in the oil, but add the flavor spices later. He can tell you how to tell if you are overcooking, undercooking, or just right. He knows much of the history of food. We asked a lot of questions and he answered every one clearly and fully. He even offered to accept our questions over WhatsApp if we got stumped when we got home. Amit let me shoot pictures and videos of our entire experience. It was a perfect afternoon. The class was very hands on letting us measure, mix, and cook our own pots. Sometimes if you study with a master, you feel later like everything was a blur and you didn’t really absorb anything. I left this class with a high degree of confidence that I can replicate the results in my own kitchen. That I can use his “Magic Sauce” as a jumping off place to create my own unique fusion dishes using locally sourced, seasonally ripe ingredients from my home in upstate NY. If you have food sensitivities, he spoke about substitutions to make vegan, vegetarian, or lactose free versions of the dishes. He explained each of the primary spices, what they are used for and how they can balance each other. He taught us the difference between aromatic and flavor spices and how to use them. Some, like black pepper can serve in both roles. He owns a spice shop and has crafted some special spice blends perfectly balanced for certain dishes. I have had this experience with Thai foods too. Sometimes the flavors are so complex that it’s virtually impossible to replicate the exact flavor when cooking family size portions. The measurements are just so subtle. Some of his more exotic spice blends contains 25 or more spices in a precise mixture. Even just to stock the discreet spices at home would be ridiculously expensive. His magic sauce is easy to replicate and is the building block that the more subtle flavors stack on top of. I was especially interested in his chai because my chai experiences in USA have often been disappointing. His chai is my favorite and the cooking technique foolproof. You can also get his perfectly blended chai spice, premade. I’m bursting with joy from the experience. I could talk for hours, but just go. You will talk about it and use your new skills for the rest of your life.

My first Nidra session took place with my YTTC group. Sunil introduced himself and explained that he was not here to be loved, hated or yet to feel any way towards him. And that was the beginning of the journey. I followed his instructions and did my best not to analyse anything throughout the session. By the end of the session I was not able to move my body, it was so heavy and tired. After the session ended, I raced out of the room and I sat at the end of the stairs for 1hour 30mins crying in an inconsolable way. I wasn't able to tell why I was crying; I just cried. The crying continued in little spurts throughout the evening and I trusted Sunil; not to analyse or question any emotion.The next day came for Sunil's class and I was a bit scared of what would happen.What was to come was another four sessions where I felt different every time; in a negative way.I attended the sessions and I told myself to listen and follow the instructions. One of the sessions, Sunil told us to relax our shoulders and that started uncontrollable tears again. The next session we were relaxing different parts of the body and I felt like my whole body was on fire, burning like I have never felt a burn before. And that also continued for maybe an hour after the practice with lot s and lots of tears and then started again in the evening time. The next session came with lots and lots of anger and after that session I expressed that continuing Nidra and my YTTC together was too difficult for me. With the guidance of my teachers I would choose just one. I decided to continue with my YTTC and give Nidra a break until I finised my YTTC. After the first healing session, Sunil was so blunt. His words were that I was worse than during Nidra; I was more restless. Looking back now, I was away from it all and naturally I was thinking about it. The next session came and my whole body shook; releasing tensions within. The next session my body was shaking again and I felt really sad.I sat with myself for about 1 hour and then I began to come around and felt productive. The sessions continued and in the process many different emotions came; sadness, hurt, anger, resentment. When my breathing became natural and slow, instantly I began to move again. Sunil told me that I was just about to relax and I allowed my mind come and take over.It was the complete wrong reaction. I remember been so upset with myself as I had come so far but not where I wanted. The last session came and I tried my very hardest; not to relax but to completely accept whatever type of emotions and feelings that would come. At the end of the session I saw black from my third eye centre. I would have loved to see illumination and bright colours but in accepted it. Thoughout the time attending healing sessions and for the time that I was spending in India in general, my mind probably felt more agitated than ever and I was more restless than I have ever been in my life.But day by day, I listened to what my body needed, I rested more and I gave myself time. I began to feel better within and at peace with myself. I am still trying this since I have returned home. I would definately return to more get more sessions from Sunil.

Drishti is incredible!!! The management is very hospitable and welcoming, they take on any issues right away, always so helpful.

I was nervous having never visited India before, and especially as a solo female traveler, but Drishti made the experience seamless and created an excellent environment for learning!
