Everyone needs a visa to come to India no matter from which country you are. You should apply for E-TOURIST VISA. Be aware that there are many expensive visa agencies. The easiest and safest way to get an e-vis (ETA) is by applying through the official website of India (click here).
A one month visa costs around 40 USD. It takes only up to 72 hours and is issued via e-mail (ETA). We still recommend to apply early enough to be on the safe side! Make sure that there is no spelling mistake or number mix up. If your visa has any minor mistake in it, you will not be able to get on your plane!
If your country cannot get an e-visa, you can apply at the nearest visa service centre in your city or via post.

You can also be a part of our programs by donating blankets or other things that might be necessary for daily living and sustenance of these sadhus
We invite sadhus and local yogis to arrange satsangs that help us imbibe fresh wisdom and advance towards spiritual development.
Sadhus and yogis are the beauty of Rishikesh. It is because of their unique holy vibes that the sanctity of Rishikesh is so well-maintained. So World Peace Yoga school always makes effort to preserve the special spiritual energy of this place through services towards sadhus.
Our plan is to establish food and accommodation facilities for the entire day.
We believe that sharing is caring. Moreover, we harbour great love and compassion for animals. Therefore, we have decided to create a 'Goshala' in Odisha.
We have 10 acres of land dedicated for the daily, routinely care of 'Gaumata' or cows. Here, we will ensure that cows are well taken care of, fed regularly, bathed and treated with love and kindness.
Nowadays during social isolation due to the imposed lockdown, cows are not getting food in Rishikesh. So World Peace Yoga School is planning to feed them and make them healthy.
Cow Seva is akin to Seva or service of God so we wholeheartedly believe in safeguarding cows.
There are hundreds of dog and everyday so many dogs get hit by accident. We try our best to take care of them and help to heal them.
If you want to donate to help our cow farm you most welcome. And, if you want to buy a cow for us then it would be really awesome.
On your part, you can feed the cows with grass daily and ensure they derive their regular source of nourishment.
It is a recycle project where anybody can donate their used dress, oils, any things that they do not use. Instead, someone else who might be in a more urgent requirement will take it. In this way no need to buy unnecessary things.
This project is very inspiring and many people will be benefitted from it.
The things you can choose to donate comprise shampoo, toothpaste, mosquito lotion, books, mats, dress, and other things.
Everybody can use the things offered from any country, color, and culture. So we request that you offer clothes only after cleaning them, whether you are donating old or new clothes.
