Yoga Retreats in Nepal, Run by the School That Teaches Them

We are not a booking platform. Every retreat below runs at our own ashram in Ghachowk, a Gurung farming village 30 minutes above Lakeside Pokhara, taught by instructors trained in Indian Himalayan ashrams. Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range sit in front of the practice space, and most of the food is grown on the farm below it.

Retreats run year-round and a 20% deposit holds your place. See them side by side on our yoga retreats in Pokhara hub, or if you are still weighing countries, read why Nepal for yoga.

The Daily Schedule on a Nepal Yoga Retreat

Every retreat follows the same shape, and day activities differ by the yoga plan or retreat you choose. Mornings hold the strongest practice, the middle of the day is yours, and the evening closes with meditation.

  1. 1Morning meditation session
  2. 2Yoga / body-based practice
  3. 3Breakfast
  4. 4Midday practice session (meditation or inner work)
  5. 5Lunch
  6. 6Rest / personal practice time
  7. 7Evening meditation
  8. 8Dinner (or light dinner)
  9. 9Reflection / quiet time
  10. 10Rest / recovery / sleep

The detox retreat adds morning yogic cleansing and a detox juice, the Buddhist retreat runs under noble silence, and the chakra retreat gives one full day to each energy centre.

Retreats run all year. October and November give the clearest Himalayan views - see the best time for yoga in Nepal for month-by-month detail.

Yoga Retreats in Nepal: Common Questions

Nepal still runs ashrams where most destinations now run resorts, and a full week here costs what a weekend costs elsewhere. Our retreats sit at 1,320 m in Ghachowk, in the lap of Machhapuchhre, where air quality is typically AQI 20-50 - which matters when your morning includes an hour of pranayama.
Ours run from €205 for three days of outdoor practice to €560 for eight days with a private room. Seven-day retreats sit between €405 and €540, and a month of long-term practice is €1,550 sharing. Each price covers the room, three vegetarian meals a day, every listed session, and pickup in Pokhara.
Two things. A retreat here can be extended into a Himalayan trek to a 3,210 m or 4,200 m viewpoint on the same trip. And prices follow Nepali costs rather than resort costs, so three weeks or three months becomes an ordinary budget decision rather than a once-in-a-lifetime one.
Ours are. Swami Ananda, our founder, was born in the Himalayas, trained at ashrams in the Indian Himalayas and has taught for over ten years. Deepika Bhairavi has practised since she was ten, competed at state and national level, and is a 500-hour certified teacher. Groups cap at eight.
Ours cover the main formats: a village homestay, a Hatha and meditation retreat, a mountain-view retreat with sound healing, a Shatkarma-based yogic detox, an Ayurveda healing week, an eight-day chakra workshop, a Buddhist retreat with noble silence, a 21-day traditional course, and one to three months of long-term practice.
Early mornings, two practice sessions a day, sattvic vegetarian food, and far less entertainment than a wellness holiday. You meditate before breakfast, practise yoga, keep the middle of the day for rest and self-study, and close with evening meditation. Rooms are clean and comfortable rather than luxurious.
Yes. Our yoga treks pair daily yoga and meditation with either the six-day Poon Hill route to the 3,210 m sunrise viewpoint, from €680, or the seven-day Mardi Himal route to the 4,200 m Upper Viewpoint, from €530. Permits, teahouse lodging, meals, guide and instructor are included.
Kathmandu has the most centres and also the pollution, with AQI often 100-200. Pokhara sits at 827 m with clean air and direct Annapurna views, which is why most retreats cluster there. We are 30 minutes above Lakeside in Ghachowk, roughly 300 m higher, so the air is cooler and the evenings quieter.
No. Every retreat here takes complete beginners, and teachers give modifications rather than expecting a shape. Flexibility is a result of practice, not a requirement for starting. The exceptions are the yoga treks, which need ordinary walking fitness, and the long-term retreat, which asks for commitment.
October and November are the clearest months, 15-25°C by day, and they book up first. December to February is 12-20°C with clear skies and the fewest visitors. March to May brings rhododendron blooms and afternoon cloud. June to September is green and wet. We run retreats year-round.
Most of our guests arrive alone. We collect you from Pokhara airport or the bus park, so you are not hunting for a village address, and groups are small enough that you know everyone by the second day. Ghachowk is a farming village, not a nightlife strip.
