A Sojourn of Body, Mind & Mountain
Kathmandu: Temples, Pilgrims & Spiritual Pulse
Begin in Kathmandu, where life moves with a sacred cadence. Walk through ancient alleyways, aroma of incense around every corner, spin prayer wheels at Boudhanath, pass the pilgrims circling the Stupa. In the gardens and rooftops, meet the city as temple-whispered history and vibrant holy spectacle.
mountain air and sacred valleys welcome the soul
Dhulikhel: Hills, Retreat & Holistic Renewal
Escape the clamor as you climb into the hills around Dhulikhel. Here, settle in at a resort that blends holistic wellness with Himalayan vistas. Mornings open with yoga or meditation; afternoons bring tea, artisan craft visits, and spiritual reflection. Evenings under wide skies let you listen to silence.
Sacred Rivers & Dzongs of Bhutan
Cross into Bhutan, a kingdom woven with dzongs (fortresses), monasteries, winding rivers and prayer flags fluttering like dawn. In Punakha, float down the Mo Chhu River, visit legendary Dzongs, learn incense-making from artisans, join monks in chanting. Nature and ritual alive together in every breath.
High Valleys & Monastic Calm in Gangtey & Paro
Journey through valleys where dawn light falls on monasteries high above the tree line. At Gangtey, wake to the sound of monks at dawn; perhaps gather beside them in hidden meditation huts. Then Paro: hike toward the Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest), a sacred perch over cliffs where blessings and solitude await.
