← All Nepal retreatsAbout this selection
Kathmandu's ancient city culture — Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath — creates a profound context for yoga and meditation practice available nowhere else on earth. Vipassana meditation in Kathmandu — often conducted in silence for 7–10 days — takes on additional depth in this setting. The retreat context removes the obstacles that urban life creates for sustained insight practice. Five days in Kathmandu is the minimum for genuine transformation — enough time to settle in, practice consistently, and begin experiencing the cumulative effects of daily yoga and immersive environment. Midweek arrivals are often less expensive. November is one of Kathmandu's best months for retreat — Bagmati Province's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in November tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
