Yoga & Trekking Retreat in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

The retreat begins in Kathmandu, where you'll spend the first night in a tourist-class hotel. The next morning you drive to Sundarijal and start walking. The route climbs gently through Shivapuri National Park to the hilltop village of Chisapani, a five-hour hike that ends with sunset yoga and a night in a basic guest house.

Day three is the longest, a seven-to-eight-hour trek along the ridge to Nagarkot, the valley's most famous viewpoint. You'll wake for sunrise yoga, eat breakfast, and walk through forest and farmland before arriving in time for another sunset practice. The final walking day takes you to Dhulikhel, a historic Newari town, over six to seven hours of trails and stairs.

Throughout the three trekking days, you'll practice Hatha yoga, meditation, and pranayama twice a day. Sunil adjusts the sessions to your level, so beginners are as welcome as more experienced practitioners. The combination feels less like a yoga camp and more like a walking holiday with a dedicated teacher — you're moving through real landscapes and sleeping in simple places, with the yoga woven into each day's start and end.

The last trekking night is in Dhulikhel, before a drive back to Kathmandu on day five. You'll have a final night in the city hotel, and on day six you're transferred to the airport. The itinerary allows for a day of sightseeing in Kathmandu before or after the trek, and optional extras include a heritage tour, a local food tour, and an evening walking tour of the city.
