7-Day Yoga Retreat and Trek near Kathmandu Valley — Sunrise Yoga, Himalayan Views & Easy Multi-Day Treks
Select participants and date
At dawn the valley exhales. Yoga mats unroll on a guesthouse rooftop while the first light slices the rim of the Himalaya into plane and shadow. You inhale mountain air that feels thinner and clearer than the city smog below, then step onto trails that ladder up ridge-lines and through pine-shaded villages. This seven-day program pairs daily yoga and guided meditation with steady, accessible trekking—Sundarijal to Chisopani, onward to Nagarkot, Dhulikhel and Balthali—so each posture and each step becomes a way of re-reading the valley.

Adventure Tips
Break in your hiking shoes
Several days include uneven, rocky trail—wear well-broken-in, grippy footwear to avoid blisters and ankle strain.
Hydrate and carry electrolytes
Water sources are available but variable—carry 1–2 L and electrolyte tablets for longer walking days.
Layer for big temperature swings
Mornings are cool for yoga and afternoons warm while trekking—pack a lightweight insulation layer and a wind shell.
Start slow at altitude
Although max elevations are modest (~2,000 m), pace your hikes and listen to your body—rest if you feel dizzy or short of breath.
