Pickup from Kathmandu, a slow lunch in the garden and a welcome sound bath at sunset. Most guests sleep early.

Day 2

Find the rhythm

Dawn yoga, breakfast, your first Abhyanga massage, an afternoon to rest, and the evening sound bath.

Day 3

Walk to the monastery

A gentle two-hour walk through rice terraces to a hilltop gompa, lunch with the monks, Yin yoga on your return.

Day 4

Go deeper

A private sound session, Shirodhara and herbal steam. The quietest day of the week.
