Nepal offers a setting unlike anywhere else for yoga practice, with mountain views, sacred sites and a pace of life that makes stillness feel natural. The programmes gathered here range from five-day escapes to twenty-one-day immersions, with prices starting at 388 EUR and reaching 1809 EUR depending on duration and depth. You will find traditional teacher training at a lakeside ashram, spiritual retreats that weave in visits to Kathmandu's temples and stupas, and wellness programmes by Begnas Lake and Phewa Lake in the Pokhara valley. Some focus purely on yoga and meditation, others blend in sound healing with singing bowls or guided hikes into the Himalayas. Whether you have practised for decades or have never once rolled out a mat, there is something here for you — several courses explicitly welcome complete beginners alongside experienced yogis. The retreats are held at established centres, from family-run guesthouses where the owners greet you personally to four-star eco-resorts surrounded by jungle and water. If you are looking for structure, the longer programmes deliver morning and evening sessions each day with philosophy, meditation and free time built in. If you prefer a lighter schedule with space to explore, the shorter lakeside retreats give you exactly that. Nepal rewards those who come ready to slow down, and these programmes are designed to help you do just that.
Prices on this page range from 388 EUR for a five-day retreat up to 1809 EUR for an eight-day spiritual programme in the Kathmandu valley. The longer twenty-one-day immersions and teacher trainings fall between 1053 EUR and 1380 EUR.
The shortest programmes run for five days, while the longest are twenty-one-day immersions. You will also find seven-day and eight-day options, so there is flexibility depending on how much time you have.
Yes, several programmes explicitly welcome complete beginners alongside those who have practised for years. The twenty-one-day teacher training, for example, is open to all levels, and many of the shorter wellness retreats are designed for anyone regardless of experience.
Retreats are based either in the Kathmandu valley or in the Pokhara region. In Pokhara, you will find programmes by Begnas Lake and Phewa Lake, while the Kathmandu retreats are set in the city itself with access to sacred sites such as Swayambhunath, Boudhanath and Pashupatinath.
These programmes are well suited to solo travellers. Several are hosted at family-run centres where guests are welcomed personally, and the group nature of daily practice means you will meet others throughout your stay.
The programmes lean towards traditional yoga rather than hybrid or modern styles. You will find morning and evening yoga sessions, meditation, philosophy classes, and in some cases sound healing with singing bowls. Teacher training follows established lineages.
Depending on the retreat, you may have guided excursions to temples and stupas, hiking in the Himalayas, singing bowl healing sessions, or access to resort facilities such as lakes for swimming and forest trails. Meals are typically provided, and accommodation is included.
Most retreats follow a pattern of morning yoga practice, breakfast, a midday session focused on meditation, philosophy or an excursion, then free time in the afternoon and sometimes an evening practice or group gathering.
