Nepal

Nestled to the south of the awe-inspiring Himalayas is the country of Nepal. This is where the buddha was born at Lumbini and where Retreat Travel can take you for a meditation retreat holiday to ease the stress of everyday modern life. Two weeks of meditation and yoga in an idyllic setting in the shadow of the Annapurna mountains, with sightseeing in Kathmandu. This holiday is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike, and for those already interested in Buddhism, or people who are simply looking for an alternative approach to coping with western “civilisation”.
