You wake to the low hum of the valley—temple bells, prayer flags stirring, and a city that breathes history. Morning yoga in a quiet hotel courtyard stretches the body; later you step into ancient stone streets where century-old wood carvings watch the flow of life.

Bring a travel yoga mat
Hotel classes sometimes supply mats but bringing a lightweight mat or thick towel ensures comfort and hygiene.
Dress modestly for temples
Cover shoulders and knees at Pashupatinath, Boudhanath and other religious sites; some require removable shoes at entry.
Hydrate and acclimatize
Kathmandu sits around 1,400 m—drink water, avoid heavy exertion on the first day, and keep electrolytes on hand.
Carry small local currency
Many small vendors and shrine donations require cash; keep small notes for entrances and offerings.
Travel yoga mat or thick towel
Lightweight mat provides grip and hygiene for daily classes in hotel or open courtyards.
Sturdy walking shoes
Supportive shoes handle cobbled streets, temple steps, and the valley’s short hikes.
Reusable water bottle with filter or purification tablets
Tap water isn’t reliably potable—filtering reduces plastic use and protects your stomach.
Layered clothing and sun protection
Mornings can be cool and midday hot; sunhat and sunscreen are important during sightseeing.
