For lunch, we will travel to the north side of the city at Boudhanath. The peaceful Buddhist vibes can be felt even if we spend only a little time here. In the evening, we will visit the holy Hindu temple of Pashupatinath. Although entry to the main temple is only permitted for Hindus, observing the rituals and evening aarati from other side of the Bagmati River is still a fascinating experience. After our day tour is over, we will head back to the hotel for overnight stay.
DAY 04: Drive or fly to Pokhara, evening wellness program
After an early breakfast, we will hop on the jeep/bus for the drive to Pokhara. A scenic 30 min flight option is also available but the standard route is the 6 hour drive along the Prithivi Highway. Typically, we will arrive around the afternoon at Pokhara. We will have our usual yoga and meditation session in the evening today. Afterwards, you can head to the lakeside to experience the ambience of Pokhara and Phewa Lake during your leisure time.
DAY 05: Full day sightseeing in Pokhara
As usual, our day will begin with some yoga to kick start our bodies, followed by the relaxing meditation session. Afterwards, we will explore Pokhara through our full day sightseeing tour. Pokhara is a popular spot in Nepal for various adventure activities such as paragliding, rafting, bungee jumping and the seasonal skiing. Unfortunately, we will only be exploring the city’s popular attractions as we don’t have enough time to take part in the adventure sports activities. There’s a lot of significant places to see and visit today including Phewa Lake, World Peace Stupa, Davis fall, Tal Barahi temple and more. Head back to the hotel for overnight stay.

Situated only a few kilometers away from Boudhanath, Kapan Monastery is one of the popular meditation retreats in Kathmandu. Foreigners are known to visit here and take weeks or months long Buddhist and meditation classes here. Due to its location above a high hill, the view of Kathmandu is also quite pleasing here. After our meditation and wellness session is done, we will bid farewell to the monks and nuns and head back to our hotel.
DAY 07: Departure
This is the last day of our Yoga and Meditation Tour, meaning we will go for one final session of yoga and meditation.
