When I decided to attend the teachings of the Dalai Lama in Tawang, I did not pay too much attention to the media controversies of whether he should or should not go to a land which is in India but China claims is theirs. For me Tawang is my homeland. I grew up in Assam and remember the names of Tawang and Bomdila from the days of the Chinese invasion in 1962. Forty seven years later I decided the magical combination of Dalai Lama and the cliffside monastery of Tawang was something not to be resisted. He promised to give a purely spiritual teaching to his people and he certainly kept his word.Press release - Mystic Asia Exclusives
MISSION
Mystic-Asia has given a new meaning to the travel industry. With the industry looking increasingly at novel travel experiences, Mystic-Asia is confident that it offers something unique by combining luxury travel with learning about health and holistic wellbeing. Newly coined terms such as Health Tourism (as opposed to Medical Tourism) and Hope Management can easily be used to describe the work of Mystic-Asia.
In this fast pace of the corporate world, where the word “stress” is synonymous with the word “business”, individuals neglect all other aspects of their existence. Mostly engrossed in meeetings, deadlines, targets and business travel etc the words “health” and “wellbeing” have no place in their lives.
