Although this 13-day journey is also considered retreat, it is essential to understand the devotional nature of this trip. Rather than a “sight-seeing” vacation, or a yoga retreat held in one location, this is a spiritual adventure to some of the most sacred sites of Nepal, with practice and teachings guiding our way.

You will fly in and out of Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), arriving on Friday, February 13th and departing on Monday, February 23rd.

You may arrive at Kathmandu airport anytime before 5pm on Friday, February 13th. Our time together begins with a welcome dinner and opening circle. As for departure, you can leave any time on the final day (February 23rd). Our closing circle will be the night before, February 22nd.

No! We will have a car or van waiting for you upon arrival in Kathmandu, and depending on how many people are scheduled to arrive, you should never have to wait more than 30 minutes. We will send a form for you to fill out your flight info so we can have it ready for you, making it a smooth and easy arrival!

Yes! Additionally, if you are interested in arriving or departing an extra night or two, let us know.

Yes, travel insurance is required. The level of coverage you choose is up to you.

Yes, a visa is required to enter the country - and it’s quite easy now! After years of travel to India where Hannah had to pre-mail her physical passport and go through a tedious process to obtain a visa. You can apply for an e-Tourist Visa online, and you will receive your authorization via email. You can also obtain a tourist visa upon arrival at the airport. Once you register for the trip, we will send you instructions and all the info you need for this.

Yes. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from our date of entry. Check your passport and start the renewal process if your expiration date is prior to August 2026.

We stay in the finest lodging available, focusing on eco-lodging options whenever we can. Some of our lodging are eco-resorts in natural settings, while others are historic elegant hotels that have been updated for modern comforts

The retreat center at the start and end of the trip offers mostly king or queen beds, spacious studio-style layouts with attached bathrooms; some have private kitchens.

Outside Kathmandu, we will be staying in luxurious hotel accommodations.

Although most of us will be rooming in double rooms with two beds (or one if you are traveling with someone you’d like to share with), we are happy to arrange a single option for you. There will be a supplemental charge of $900 for separate single accommodations.

Yes, Hannah is an excellent teacher for adapting practices for folks with diverse backgrounds, abilities, bodies, and so forth. (In fact, she is the President of a nonprofit called The Yoga for All Movement, which offers yoga and mindfulness to individuals in communities who have not historically had access to these profound practices.) The focus of the trip is devotional, rather than high-impact fitness yoga. We value accessibility and inclusion, and all experience of yoga practice, including beginner, are welcome.

Walks will be moderate, as we explore the city and sites—nothing strenuous. There will be an option for a longer day hike, if you’d like.

Although you will be immersed in the ancient lands and history of Nepal, and have guides sharing with you the historical background and the rich cultural heritage, this trip is more than that: it’s a spiritual pilgrimage for those who are looking to lean into the devotional and spiritual aspects of India, and of existence. In addition to history, you will also receive teachings on Yoga philosophy, storytelling of the native pantheon, direct experience practice, and darshana with deities in ancient temples.

In addition to being a spiritual pilgrimage, we will journey into the epic mountain landscape and Chitwan National Park on safari!

For visiting temples, yes. Shoulders and knees must be covered, as well as no leggings, tight jeans, or tight pants unless there is a skirt over covering to the knee. You may wear yoga leggings while we’re at our lodging practicing yoga.

Yes, after registering you will receive a welcome email and following it, you’ll receive a detailed email with all the information you could ever hope for, including: packing lists for clothing, shoes, toiletries; customs and how to show cultural respect; how to stay connected (wifi, data plans, using your cell in India); how much money to bring, exchange rates, etc; dietary information, travel wellness and more.

We always work to refund folks when something comes up, while balancing this with the need to compensate our hard working team for their work, and, as you can imagine, we pay in advance for hotels and other trip arrangements. Here is our refund policy: If you cancel prior to 60 days before, and we can register someone else to replace your spot, you can receive a refund less a $300 administrative fee. If you cancel within 60 days of the trip, and we can register someone else to replace your spot, you can receive a refund less a $600 administrative fee. There is absolutely no guarantee that we will be able to find someone to replace your spot, especially closer to the trip, but we always do our best to help out our yogis.
