You will be traveling around Nepal during this retreat. You will be participating in hiking, yoga, and other wellness activities. Kathmandu is an incredibly diverse, historic city with amazing architecture, exquisite wood carvings, and metal craft which showcase the skills of the Newar artisans of centuries ago.
Hinduism and Buddhism have co-existed in Kathmandu valley from time immemorial and the valley residents make a little distinction as they worship in both Hindu and Buddhist shrines. Kathmandu is a city where ancient traditions are zealously guarded while at the same time embracing modern technology.
The grandeur of the past enchants the visitor whose gaze may linger on an exquisitely carved wooden window frame, an 18th-century bronze sculpture, or a spiritually uplifting stupa. Kathmandu, the largest city of Nepal, is the political as well as cultural capital of the country, where Nepalis have arrived from all corners of the country and assimilated.
