3-Day Ayurveda, Yoga & Sound Healing Himalayan Wellness Escape in Pokhara, Nepal

The retreat is run by a small wellness school in Pokhara founded by Raj, a yoga teacher born near Lumbini who has spent over a decade studying meditation, yoga, and natural healing. Raj leads most of the yoga and meditation sessions himself, bringing a deeply traditional approach rooted in his own practice and culture. He's joined by Deepa, a PhD scholar of yoga philosophy, and Dipa, another Pokhara-based teacher, so you'll get exposure to several teaching styles over your stay.

Each day follows a steady rhythm that feels like a reset for the nervous system. Mornings start with yoga as the sun comes up, followed by guided meditation and breakfast. Mid-morning you'll have time for a mindful hike, a visit to an eco village, or a walk to see local organic farming. Afternoons are deliberately free for rest and reflection, with a sound bath or vibrational healing session in the late afternoon and a restorative yoga class before dinner. Evenings end with candlelight meditation.

The location is what really sets this retreat apart. The center sits in a quiet pocket of nature, with tropical jungle on three sides and the Himalayas on the fourth. A chemical-free pool is on site, and Begnas Lake is a short walk away, where you'll see local villagers and fishermen going about their daily life. This isn't a polished resort experience — it's a retreat into rural Nepal, with the opportunity to walk through real villages and see how people live in the Annapurna foothills.

A full Ayurvedic consultation is included, during which you'll learn about your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) and receive personalized dietary and lifestyle advice. The treatment package includes a 60-minute full-body Ayurvedic massage and a 30-minute shirodhara session, both aimed at deep relaxation and detoxification. You'll also have a daily Ayurvedic health check-up to track your progress over your stay.
