← All Nepal retreatsAbout this selection
Pokhara's Phewa Lake, Annapurna panoramas, and growing international yoga community make it Nepal's most beautiful retreat destination — serene, accessible, and affordable. Pokhara has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. A 3-day retreat in Pokhara is ideal for a weekend or long-weekend escape — enough time to decompress, establish a rhythm of practice, and experience the environment meaningfully. Three days won't fundamentally shift long-term patterns, but it resets the nervous system and reminds the body what it's capable of. October is one of Pokhara's best months for retreat — Gandaki Province's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in October tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
