About 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. September falls outside Kathmandu's peak yoga season, which runs March, April, May. That said, retreats run year-round and the off-season offers genuine advantages: lower prices, smaller groups, and a quieter environment that some practitioners actively prefer. The practice itself is unchanged.
