Short meditation courses in Rishikesh or nearby?

Hi,

My boyfriend and I are going to India for the first time in September and are looking for a short meditation course in Rishikesh or nearby. We are looking for 3-5 days. Can anyone recommend an ashram? Thanks in advance

3-5 days is too short a period. Most good courses run for 7 days at least, but you can still inquire at the following places, I know that these do run one-week courses in Yoga & Meditation (search on google for details):
Parmartha Ashram
Sant Seva Sadan
Omkaranand Ashram
Plus, a google search will yield several other ashram names and most of them have their own websites. Just call/email them and you'll have enough information to select from.

Hum... maybe near Shimla

Google Sadhana Mandir or Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram. Both Swami Rama ashrams. They offer different retreats and courses. At SRSG you can get instruction according to your needs and they are really good for meditation, that's their main focus at this ashram. But still three days is just to short. At least try to stay a week.
