Yoga trek Nepal Would you like to deepen your yoga practice while discovering Nepal’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty? Join me for this trip of a lifetime! This yoga trip and trek will introduce you to Nepal’s captivating cultures and the spectacular natural beauty of the Himalayas, and offers a balance of cultural exploration, physical challenge, and leisurely relaxation. We start our journey in bustling Kathmandu, where we visit some of the capital’s most captivating sites of cultural and spiritual significance. Our comfortable accommodation allows us to retreat from the city’s intensity and liveliness. Here we will spend 15-16 and 17 October. On the 18 October we take our luxury bus to Pokhara, a beautiful city located by the Fewa lake. We will have enough time to prepare everything that we need for our trek. The next part of our journey sees us packing up, and heading into the mountains: With a team of experienced guides and porters, we begin our 5-day yoga trek past terraced slopes, paddy fields, and through rhododendron forests. The morning and evening yoga classes accompany and support us optimally throughout the trek. On the accessible and picturesque Panchassee yoga trek we climb from the level of Fewa Lake to the holy mountain of Panchassee (2,500m) on an ancient pilgrimage trail. From here, excellent views of the Annapurna mountain range can be enjoyed. This trek beautifully showcases Nepal’s biodiversity, and its historical and religious heritage. Just like Everest, Annapurna or Daulagiri – Panchassee is a divine mountain-mother to the local people. Panchassee has several further delights in store for us: Beneath the western summit, we find a tiny lake nestled in the jungle, like a precious jewel. We also enjoy beautiful views of the majestic Himalayan giants Annapurna South & Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). A yoga trek in Nepal is an experience for body, mind, and soul. The spectacular views, glimpses into a culture different from your own, immersion in a stunning landscape and fresh mountain air, a body and mind supported by yoga and meditation, and the feeling of achievement at the end of the trek make for a very rewarding trip. On the 23rd October we return to Pokhara to spend a couple of days in the beautiful surroundings of the lake, relaxing, exploring, shopping and enjoying delicious food.

On the 4th November , we will visit one of the Wonders of the World , the Taj Mahal , a masterpiece of the Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. Taj Mahal, "the epitome of love ", is "a monument of immeasurable beauty ". The beauty of this magnificent monument is such that it is beyond the scope of words. We will visit it at sunset, one of the best times to visit, as the monument changes color reflecting the setting sun.

Rishikesh is not on the typical routes in the glossy magazines of the travel agencies. Also known as the ‘ Yoga Capital of the World ’, with masses of ashrams and all kinds of yoga and meditation classes, Rishikesh's exquisite setting on the fast-flowing Ganges, surrounded by forested hills, is conducive to meditation and mind expansion. There we will spend from the 5 until 10 November. In Rishikesh we will enjoy a plethora of activities, like rafting, yoga classes with Indian masters, a visit to an ashram for spiritual teachings...
