5 Day Gentle Nature Wellness Retreat in Pokhara, Nepal

The retreat is based at Mukti Yoga Retreat, a family-run property with a big garden and views over the surrounding hills and Phewa Lake. You'll be welcomed by Yam and his family, who make a point of treating every guest as part of the household within hours of arrival. The daily schedule mixes practice with rest, so you never feel rushed or overwhelmed.

A typical morning starts with meditation and a gentle nasal cleansing, followed by a 30-minute nature walk before breakfast. Then come pranayama and a yoga class. After lunch and some free time, you'll have an ayurvedic massage followed by a steam bath. Evenings include kirtan chanting, a restorative or hatha yoga class, and a candlelight meditation before bed.

The yoga here is taught by Yogi Acharya and Prakriti, both certified instructors with very different styles. Acharya was introduced to yoga and meditation as a child and focuses on alignment. Prakriti is known for her warmth and her ability to make students of all levels feel comfortable. Together they lead classes that are accessible but still help you feel stronger and more flexible by the end of the week.

Because the program is gentle and not based on fasting, it suits a wide range of ages and fitness levels. You can arrive feeling tired or stressed, and the mix of massage, steam, easy exercise, and wholesome food gradually shifts things around. Many guests leave with brighter skin, a calmer mind, and a new habit of daily practice.

The location itself does a lot of the work. Pokhara is famous as Nepal's adventure hub, but this retreat sits in a quieter, greener part of town. You can hear birds in the morning, watch the sun set over the mountains in the evening, and still be close enough to walk into town for a look around if you want to.
