Trip Overview

Yoga is an ancient form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility, and breathing to boost physical and mental well-being. Most studies suggest that yoga is a safe and effective way to increase physical activity, especially strength, flexibility, and balance.

So, why combine Yoga and Trekking?  Close your eyes and imagine taking a yoga class in a beautiful natural environment.  Fresh air to breathe, a different silence combined with the same feeling of regeneration that you have after a yoga session.  Open your eyes and look again at the incredible place that you are standing in.

And, now you are ready to trek in some of the more remote and less traveled areas of Nepal.  This Yoga Trek will give you the opportunity to enjoy a morning and evening yoga session, trek and stay in local villages, gain an insight into these remote communities, and communicate your knowledge and experience using yoga for a healthier lifestyle.

Members of our villages will benefit economically and physically from the yoga trek. Economically – we use local porters and purchase local products where possible; Physically – they will receive knowledge about the benefits of yoga practice.

So, get out of that studio in the city and come yoga trekking with us – combine relaxation and adventure – for your benefit as well as those that you will encounter on this yoga trek.
