Journey "Path to Nepal. Returning to Yourself ”is not just trekking or a tour of the temples of Hinduism. This immersion in the culture and a deep internal reboot is the path of the soul.
In October, we set off on a meditative-creative journey through the Nepalese Himalayas. Visit and feel the energy of the holy places of Kathmandu-Swayanbunadh, the Shiva Temple, the Buddha's stupa, the royal Durbar Square. Learn more about the ancient philosophy of Buddhism and Hinduism from the lips of monks. We have to go trekking route (easy 2-3 hours a day, 5 days). We will visit authentic Nepalese villages, admire the views of the snowy peaks of Annapurna and other mountains. And let us ask those deep-seated questions about life and soul that we often postpone for later.
Indeed, in the Himalayas just do not come. This is the call of the heart!
This is the need to slow down, to be in silence. The opportunity to be alone with the mountains and listen to the voice of your soul.
The majestic mountain landscape of the Himalayas and the places of power of Buddhists and Hindus are the best places for deep internal transformations. A meditation, art therapy, massage, and body practice will be the support on the way, will help to realize their feelings. This journey is the work of the soul.

Active trekking (accessible to all) along scenic paths with views of the majestic mountains with a height of 6000-8000 meters - Mount Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Manaslu, Ganesh-Himal
2. Meeting with monuments of architecture of Buddhism and Hinduism in Kathmandu and Pokhare - UNESCO World Heritage Sites
3. Immersion in the culture and simple and happy life of Nepalese.
4. A sense of the quiet mysticism of the mountains and sacred places of power of the Himalayas!
5. The opportunity to experience themselves in unusual conditions and in the team of the same travelers.

The program of supporting practices:
The morning will begin with meditation and setting for the day. And in the evening there will be time for silence and the opportunity to put impressions and thoughts for the day, ask yourself those questions, which are often not enough time in the city. We will switch from constant analysis to living the moment, to the feeling of happiness within ourselves. Let us listen to the voice of your soul. And we will answer the deepest questions: Who are we and what are we striving for? Are we able to listen to our inner voice and relentlessly go our own way? What is our strength? What do we broadcast to the world and what message do we want to convey to people through our activities? Do we perceive others without evaluations, openly and lively? And how can one feel this clarity of thoughts and inner harmony in ordinary life, in the city?

Team of Guides.
We are not guides. We are guides, travelers, inspired by the beauty of nature and people, specialists in creative professions, and presenters. And we are happy to take you along the mountain route and help you walk your inner path. We will organize domestic issues on the spot, acquaint with the culture of the country, and the power of the mountains. We will conduct 2-3 meditative creative practices per day. But the journey we will create with you. And it depends on each of us how it will be formed. So we are waiting for those who are open to the world and people who are ready to break away from urban comfort and go to meet with Nepal, to meet with themselves.
