Nepal Yoga Retreat

Nagarkot


This is one of the best-regarded yoga retreats in Nepal, offering a full complement of expertly guided yoga courses, ayurveda massage, steam baths and more. Accommodation is in fairly simple bamboo cottages and rooms with a nicely elevated view of the valley below. It's more suitable for serious yoga students.

Travelling the main road from Nagarkot to Bhaktapur, turn right at Telkot (Tharkot) then right again and follow the road until you see a sign on the right.
