Sunshine Yoga & Health / Walk In Nepal Trekking / Vibrant Ayurveda
As part of our hugely successful regular Yoga, Ayurveda & Detox Retreats in the Himalayan country of Nepal, we are delighted to present another very special Ayurveda Yoga Detox (Panchakarma) Retreat in Oct 2019. At this retreat, you will experience a unique blend of authentic Ayurvedic detox rejuvenation treatments along with classical yoga and meditation practice every day. The retreat, lasting one week, will be held in Pokhara, a Nepalese city renowned for its natural beauty.
Prior to the retreat, you will have a wonderful opportunity to explore the natural, cultural and historic beauty of Kathmandu, the fascinating capital city of Nepal. After visiting ancient artistic pagoda temples and interesting places in Kathmandu, we will take you to the world’s most famous national park in Chitwan for Jungle safari activities. Here you will see many of the sixty eight species of mammals, including Tigers and Rhinoceroses, protected in the Heritage Listed park. You will also enjoy a wonderful elephant ride. After this, you will explore the village life in a country town close to Himalayas where you will be heartily welcomed with a traditional cultural music and dance program held by the local villagers and school students. We will then head to Pokhara for the week long personalised Ayurvedic treatment and detox programme, which will be individually tailored to your needs by our team of experienced doctors prior to your departure from Australia.
