The next tour will be our 30th Anniversary Youth Bus Tour for older ISKCON youth, ages 18 and up, with two buses (separate transportation for men and women) following the Ratha-yatra festival circuit in North America, starting in late June, and ending in mid August. Details will be posted by February 15. Please check back at that time.

Cost:

Tour cost per person is estimated to be around $2450 for the six-week tour across North America, with an early bird discount of $150, at $2300 if you apply early and pay your non-refundable deposit by March 15, and your full tour fees before April 15.

After you have applied via the application form and received an acceptance letter from the organizers, you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the shared per person cost of the tour to reserve your spot. This can be paid in US$ funds via PayPal, Zelle, money order, bank transfer, check or similar.

The per-person cost of the tour is based on actual costs for transportation, accommodation, food, activities, shared among the participants. The organizers and bus drivers volunteer their time as a labor of love to inspire youth in Krishna consciousness. 

Tour Schedule:

The tour will leave from Alachua, FL and travel across the United States and Canada, following the Ratha-yatra festival circuit, from late June through mid August of 2026. Details will be posted around February 15. Please check back at that time.  You will need a passport valid at least six months past the date you will enter Canada (early July). Please check your passport expiration date and begin the renewal process now, if needed.

Pending confirmation of festival dates, we hope to be attending Ratha-yatra festivals in Montreal, Toronto, Red Deer (Alberta), Los Angeles and Vancouver. Along the way we will visit ISKCON temples, participating in spiritual morning and evening programs, go on Harinama Sankirtana along with book distribution in major cities, hike in national parks, camp at scenic spots, swim at rivers, lakes and ocean beaches, and forge meaningful friendships with devotee peers. More details to be posted by February 15.
