Two ways to experience Nepal
We are preparing two distinct, small-group journeys for 2027: a spring discovery journey through Nepal's living heritage, countryside and Himalayan horizons over the Easter holidays, and a slower Yoga & Ayurveda retreat journey in July.

Easter in Nepal
A small-group journey for people who want to experience Nepal without turning the holiday into a major expedition.
Paced to balance cultural exploration in Kathmandu with an optional Annapurna foothills trek or a wellness stay in Pokhara, before wildlife and a relaxed farewell.
Proposed journey structure
Kathmandu
Arrive in Kathmandu, settle in after the flight, and take your first gentle walks through quiet courtyards, temple squares, and the historic old town. Evenings are unhurried, with time to acclimatise, enjoy a welcome meal, and feel the rhythm of the city before the journey unfolds.
Kathmandu Valley
Spend several days in the Kathmandu Valley exploring Patan, Bhaktapur, and surrounding Newari villages with local guides. Visit pottery squares, artisan workshops, and centuries-old brick architecture at a human pace, with room for café stops, market wandering, and quiet temple courtyards.
Pokhara
After Kathmandu, we travel to Pokhara and head into the foothills for a 3–4 day trek, ideally the classic Poon Hill route for its sunrise panorama, or the shorter Ghandruk loop if the group prefers something gentler.
Pokhara
Those who prefer not to trek stay in Pokhara for a wellness-focused stay with lake-side time, gentle excursions, and optional spa or Ayurvedic treatments.
Chitwan
Leave the mountains for Chitwan National Park in the Terai lowlands. Jeep safari through jungle and grasslands for rhino and wildlife, a river excursion on the Rapti or Narayani, and an elephant sanctuary visit with time to feed the elephants. Relaxed evenings at a lodge near the park.
Kathmandu Return
Return to Kathmandu for a final night or two before flying home. Enjoy a celebratory dinner of regional Himalayan cuisine, last-minute souvenir shopping in artisan bazaars, and unhurried time to pack, reflect, and say farewell to the group.
Who this journey is for
We design our journeys for curious travellers who value quality of experience over checklist tourism. Trekking gear is not required upfront. The route is chosen with the group, and a wellness stay in Pokhara is always available for those who prefer not to trek.
"A balanced bridge between independent discovery and seamless companionship, tailored for those who want Nepal to feel personal."
Independent spirit, curated ease
You want to experience Nepal deeply without the exhaustion and complexity of arranging every transfer, permit, and local guide entirely on your own.
Intimacy over crowds
You prefer small, thoughtful groups of like-minded travellers over impersonal, large-format coach tours.
Culture, food & landscape lovers
You appreciate authentic regional cooking, historic architecture, temple rituals, and scenic village walks at a relaxed human rhythm.
Choose your mountain experience
Join a classic foothill trek to Poon Hill or the gentler Ghandruk loop, or stay in Pokhara for a wellness-focused lakeside stay. No high-altitude expedition required.
Trek if you want, rest if you don't
The group decides together whether to take the 3–4 day trek or enjoy spa treatments, lake excursions, and gentle day trips from Pokhara.
Seamless local logistics
You like having transfers, curated boutique lodgings, and trusted local experts organized seamlessly in advance.
Structure without feeling rushed
You value a well-considered flow of days that allows for unhurried morning teas, personal wandering, and spontaneous moments.
Not a conventional package tour
"This is not intended to be a bus tour racing through Nepal's major attractions. The journey combines the places worth seeing with enough time to actually experience them."
Multiple-night stays in key locations rather than packing luggage every morning.
Hosted alongside local Newari and Himalayan families, independent artisans, and trusted guides.
Dedicated free afternoons to read, wander village lanes, or sit peacefully at a scenic viewpoint.
Yoga & Ayurveda in Nepal
A slower Nepal journey centred around a multi-day yoga and Ayurveda retreat, combined with thoughtful time to experience the country itself.
Carefully divided between cultural orientation, an immersive retreat sanctuary, and quiet natural surroundings.
"The retreat is the heart of the journey, but travelling all the way to Nepal should also mean experiencing Nepal itself."
More than a retreat
Rather than staying locked away in an isolated compound, this journey allows you to experience Nepal's ancient soul before stepping into the stillness of the retreat setting.
2–3 Days: Discovering Kathmandu & The Valley
Arrive gently, acclimatize, and visit historic spiritual sites and quiet courtyard temples with local heritage hosts.
Cultural or Nature Experiences
Gentle guided walks through green valley trails, visits to hillside monasteries, and unhurried time to prepare for the retreat ahead.
7–10 Days: Dedicated Yoga & Ayurveda Sanctuary
Settle into a peaceful hillside sanctuary in the Kathmandu hills for full immersion in daily yoga, meditation, Ayurvedic consultations, treatments, and deep restorative stillness.
A Relaxed Final Day Before Departure
Unrushed farewell gathering, nourishing celebratory meal, and effortless transfer coordination for departure flights.
A Journey of Deep Nourishment
This is more than a yoga retreat.
For a little while, step away from the demands of everyday life and enter a slower, more attentive rhythm, where your body is nourished, your mind can become quiet, and your whole being has space to restore.
Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, Ayurveda, nourishing food, therapeutic treatments, nature and moments of stillness, each part of the retreat is thoughtfully woven together to care for body, mind and soul.
Daily Yoga & Mindful Movement
Begin the day by meeting yourself gently. Morning yoga awakens the body, opens the breath and brings you into a grounded connection with yourself. Evening practices invite the body to soften, release and prepare for deep rest.
Meditation & Himalayan Breathwork
There is something about breathing in the mountains that makes you breathe differently. Guided meditation and pranayama invite you to become still, listen inwardly and reconnect with the natural rhythm of your breath, surrounded by the vastness and quiet of the Himalayas.
Individual Ayurvedic Consultations
Your body is not the same as anyone else's. So why should your care be? Individual consultations with experienced Ayurvedic doctors allow your constitution, current state and personal needs to be understood, creating the foundation for a truly personalised experience.
Personalised Ayurvedic Body Treatments
This is where care becomes deeply personal. Under the guidance of experienced Ayurvedic doctors, treatments are tailored to each guest using herbs grown on the premises and traditional oils and herbal preparations made in-house. Warm oils, healing herbs and skilled hands come together to invite the body to soften, release and restore.
Wholesome, Nourishing Cuisine
Food becomes part of the healing experience. Freshly prepared vegetarian meals bring together seasonal Himalayan produce, nourishing ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs, thoughtfully prepared to support the body's natural rhythm and leave you feeling nourished rather than simply fed.
Nature, Space & Gentle Exploration
And then, there is space to simply be. Slow afternoons invite you to wander mountain paths, discover quiet monasteries, sit beneath the Himalayan sky, read a book or do absolutely nothing. There is no rush. The mountains have their own rhythm.
Our sessions emphasize restorative movement, body awareness, and grounding breathwork tailored comfortably to individual flexibility and experience.
Who the July journey is for
Whether you have been practicing yoga for years or simply feel drawn to a nourishing holiday in the quiet Nepalese foothills, this journey provides a gentle, supportive container.
"Small-group size ensures personal attention during yoga sessions and one-on-one time with our Ayurvedic health practitioners."
Yoga practitioners & mindful movers
Those who enjoy yoga and desire dedicated time and space to deepen their personal practice in a contemplative Himalayan setting.
Curious beginners
Anyone seeking an accessible, unpretentious introduction to yoga, breathwork and meditation.
Ayurveda & wellness seekers
People intrigued by traditional Ayurvedic principles, herbal nutrition, personalized body constitution and restorative therapies.
Solo travellers, couples & friends
Welcoming both solo adventurers seeking safe, supportive companionship and pairs wanting a shared meaningful experience.
Those seeking a slower rhythm
Travellers who want to disconnect from daily digital noise, read quietly, sleep deeply and recharge surrounded by nature.
Nepal enthusiasts who aren't looking to trek
Anyone drawn to the magic of the Himalayas and Nepali hospitality without requiring intense physical mountaineering.
Created by people who know the region
These journeys come from a long-standing connection with Nepal and India, built over years of travelling, living, and building friendships across the region, with Belgian and Indian roots shaping how we see both places.
Bonnie brings a yoga teaching and Ayurvedic background; Pascal has spent years travelling and organising trips in Nepal and the wider region. Together we prefer small, personal journeys over mass-market tours.
Throughout 2026 we are on the ground scouting locations, meeting local partners, and shaping both routes before the details are announced.
We're building these journeys now
Great journeys are not assembled from brochures or third-party wholesalers. Throughout 2026, our team is on the ground in Nepal doing the foundational fieldwork.
