The Himalayas are known as the abode of Gods and since time immemorial they have been the place that yogis go to to do their spiritual practice and receive ”Darshan” or ”blessing by sight” of these towering, holy peaks. Indeed, in the Himalayas, the silence and deep stillness are palpable and in front of these ancient giants, perspective on owns life and a feeling of deep wonder is inevitable.
We cannot imagine a better place to combine yoga and trekking, here you can be led through the mountains by a guide and we will also provide an experienced yoga teacher to accompany you and share some of the stories and local spiritual beliefs that are connected to so many of these mountains and the many temples, shrines, and monasteries that are scattered on their slopes.
Together with the teacher you can enjoy yoga and meditation practice every day in these pristine natural surroundings, truly a boon for the soul. However, not only are the mountains themselves an incredible place of spiritual power in Nepal, but the journey of yoga begins in the city of Kathmandu itself. A city with more UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other in the world. Here you can explore the great pilgrimage points and be living spiritual centers of Pashupatinath, Swayambunath, and Boudhanath.
If you do not enjoy trekking too much there but would still enjoy visiting pilgrimage points, there are also many places of great spiritual importance that do not lie in the mountainous region of Nepal. There is Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, Namobuddha, Guru Gorakhnaths meditation cave and mausoleum, to name but a few. We will be happy to suggest some yoga itineraries for you, depending on the amount of time you have for your trip and what interests you most
