Begin each day with rejuvenating yoga practices designed to prepare your mind and body for the depth of what lies ahead. In the afternoons, delve into the rich and ancient Buddhist and Hindu traditions of the Kathmandu Valley, a sacred destination tucked away in the Himalayan foothills.

This special valley is a powerhouse for pilgrims and spiritual seekers from India, Nepal, Tibet, and beyond! It is where the living traditions of Buddhism and Hinduism converge in age-old sacred rituals, offering a rare opportunity to experience timeless teachings and spiritual heritage.

After immersing yourself in these profound teachings for four days, embark on a five-day trek through the breathtaking Himalayan mountains. Experience the grandeur of these towering peaks while connecting more deeply with your inner self through daily meditations in these serene and awe-inspiring surroundings.

Whether you seek spiritual growth, connection with ancient wisdom, or an unforgettable adventure, these 10 days promise a spiritually supercharged experience like no other!
