About Meditation & Retreat Tours

Immerse yourself in Nepal’s sacred energy through transformative meditation and retreat tours, designed to deepen mindfulness and spiritual awakening. Begin at Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, one of the world’s largest Buddhist stupas, where the rhythmic chants of monks and spinning prayer wheels create a powerful atmosphere for meditation. Join guided courses, receive teachings from experienced lamas, and participate in Kora (circumambulation) to purify the mind.

Next, retreat to Pharping, a hidden spiritual gem south of Kathmandu. Known for its sacred caves—particularly the Asura Cave, where Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) meditated—this serene destination offers secluded retreat centers ideal for deep contemplation. Practice yoga, attend Vipassana sessions, or simply absorb the tranquil vibrations of this holy site.

Finally, journey to Namo Buddha, a breathtaking pilgrimage spot where Buddha, in a past life, selflessly offered his body to a starving tigress. The Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery here provides a perfect setting for silent retreats, with panoramic Himalayan views enhancing your meditation practice.

Whether you seek solitude, guided practice, or profound spiritual connection, Nepal’s meditation retreats offer a sanctuary for inner transformation.
