8-Day Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Kathmandu, Nepal

The retreat runs for eight days in Bagmati Province, just outside Kathmandu. Classes run Sunday through Saturday, and you can start on whichever week fits your travel plans. That flexibility means you can bolt it onto a trek, a tour of the Kathmandu Valley, or a longer yoga trip through Nepal and India.

Each day pairs yoga with meditation. Sessions cover postures, breathing and contemplative techniques, and teachers meet students at their own level, so no prior experience is needed. The schedule is practical rather than mystical: the aim is to give you habits and understanding you can sustain after you fly home.

Food and rest are treated as part of the programme. Meals are tailored to the group, including dietary needs, and you tell them yours in advance so they can confirm. Healthy thinking and self-care run through the schedule rather than sitting apart from it.

The retreat is led by Adi Yogpeeth, an India-based organisation that also runs a 25-day 300-hour Hatha, Ashtanga and Kundalini yoga teacher training in Nepal, an 11-day 100-hour Kundalini teacher training in Rishikesh, a 29-day Ayurveda and yoga detox retreat in Kathmandu, and a 29-day 500-hour advanced teacher training in Nepal. That range means the facilitators are used to teaching both newcomers and experienced practitioners.

Accommodation is confirmed per booking. You can ask about private rooms, shared spaces or upgrades, and the team will match you to what is available for your dates. Full directions and travel guidance are shared once your booking is confirmed.

Cancellation terms are set by the retreat leader and confirmed with you before you pay anything. There are no booking fees added on top of the leader's price, and sending a request costs nothing.
