Nepal & North India Yoga Retreat – March 2028

This 11-night yoga journey through Nepal and North India is gently taking shape and promises to be a deeply nourishing and beautifully balanced retreat. We’ll begin with an overnight stay in Kathmandu, giving us time to settle, rest, and arrive fully after our journey.

From here we travel overland, at a comfortable pace with a lunch stop along the way, to Kushinagar, North India. Here we’ll spend two nights in this peaceful and contemplative place, visiting the sacred sites associated with the Buddha’s final days and his passing into Parinirvana. A profound part of our journey that invites quiet reflection on impermanence, compassion, and the natural cycles of life. Themes that sit gently at the heart of our yoga practice. 

Returning to Nepal, we’ll move into nature with three nights in Chitwan National Park.
Here jungle, rivers, and abundant birdlife create a grounding and life-affirming atmosphere. Chitwan is home to one-horned rhinoceros, elephants, deer, wild boar, monkeys, crocodiles, and Bengal tigers. It is also a paradise for birdlife, with colourful kingfishers, hornbills, egrets, storks, and countless other species filling the air with sound.
Expect experiences such as a jeep safari, a peaceful canoe ride, birdwatching, and a traditional Tharu dance performance.
Gentle exploration will be balanced with plenty of time to relax.

From the lush lowlands we then travel on to the hills, arriving in the beautiful heritage village of Bandipur for four nights at a serene Ayurveda retreat centre. This part of the journey is all about restoration with a slower rhythm. Daily yoga, Ayurvedic treatments, and time to rest, wander, and enjoy the calm of this special location.

We’ll return to Kathmandu for our final night together before travelling home, completing a journey that weaves together spiritual depth, nature, culture, and deep rest. This retreat is being created especially for those who value meaningful travel, comfort, and spaciousness, with thoughtful pacing and time to truly absorb each place.
