9-Day Himalayan Yoga & Trekking Adventure Through Nepal

The first two days are spent at the Yatri Yoga centre in Kathmandu, settling into the daily rhythm of morning and evening yoga, meals, and acclimatisation. On day three you hike to Chisapani — around four hours uphill through forest, with birdlife and occasional wild animals along the trail — and arrive at a Sherpa village looking out at the eastern Himalayan ranges from Langtang to Gaurishankar. Evening yoga here is done facing the setting sun.

Day four is a five-hour walk through dense forest to Nagarkot, passing through Chauki Bhanjyang for lunch. Nagarkot is the viewing balcony of the Kathmandu Valley: on a clear morning you can see eight of Nepal's thirteen Himalayan ranges, including Everest. You do sunrise yoga here, then head down to Bhaktapur — a UNESCO-listed medieval Newari city of temples, pagodas and carved wood, where you spend a night absorbing its living heritage.

From Bhaktapur you travel by private jeep (or a VIP bus if you prefer) to Pokhara, arriving at the second Yatri centre on the lakeside. The highlight here is the sunrise yoga session at Sarangkot: you practice with the sun rising to your right and the Annapurna and Fishtail ranges directly ahead. Afternoons in Pokhara include a visit to the World Peace Pagoda and a boat crossing of Phewa Lake.

The pace is steady but not gruelling — the longest hiking day is about five hours, and jeep options exist for anyone who wants to skip a stretch. Accommodation is private rooms throughout, though standards vary: luxury in Kathmandu, simpler lodges on the trail, comfortable again in Pokhara. The itinerary can flex if weather changes or if you want to linger somewhere.
