Our Story…
The two friends always got together between teaching classes at The Yoga Center of Columbia to share stories from their travels and retreats; Rimmi leading retreats to India and Karen leading retreats to Morocco.
The Retreat Planners was born out of their shared and undeniable passions for global travel, meticulous planning, and organizing memorable experiences. Their intricately curated retreats focus on unique destinations, upscale accommodations, customized itinerary, health and rejuvenation. Every getaway embodies mind-body practices, nature experiences, delicious cuisine and local culture. Please see Our Philosophy page for more.
We design dream travel retreats that offer immersive, cultural experiences in a nurturing environment.
