Yoga is known as a group of physical, mental and spiritual practices originated in ancient South Asia during early civilization. This has become a popular theme in order to keep the health sound and bring happiness in life. So, we have designed a holiday package combining some Yoga retreats and tours of Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara.
This holiday is ideally suitable for individuals, couples and Yoga learners. We are hoping that this tour will be beneficial to bring some relaxation to both body and soul and energize for the next daily busy schedule. Our Yoga trek includes three nights in a Yoga retreat center in Kathmandu followed by hotel/lodge accommodation during the tour out of Kathmandu.
When the Yoga retreat is over, you will be picked up and transferred to a city hotel for your regular tour to the specified places. Nepal has the richest and most diverse cultural landscapes throughout the country. The cultural heritage is synthesized more in the Kathmandu Valley so far. The three major ancient cities of Kathmandu Valley represent a harmony of elegant architecture and refined culture.
These cities have a vast concentration of religious monuments unequalled in the world. Another beautiful attraction of Nepal is the southern lowland known as the Terai covered with dense tropical jungles teeming with diverse wildlife and exotic birds that offers the exciting safaris. Elephant back-ride, canoe ride and jungle walk are the major safari activities available in the jungles.
Pokhara is yet another destination that should not be missed. The panoramic Himalayan views and pleasing weather will give a fantastic memory of the tour. The town is a major gateway for the popular Annapurna Base Camp and Poonhill trekking. Pokhara also serves as the center of adventure activities such as Paragliding, Bungee, Zipline, Boating or Mountain Flight.
