Annapurna Yoga trek

Annapurna Trekking with Yoga

Yoga trek Annapurna region in Nepal is one of the unique ways of trekking with Yoga and meditation while enjoying the serene beauties of the tallest and most spiritual mountain range in the vast Himalayas. Mountain Monarch comes up with a yoga trek in the Annapurna region. We customize the yoga trekking itinerary, ensuring relaxed walking on the foothill of Annapurna. No worries for acute mountain sickness, exploring the less trodden trail with Yoga practice on the back dropped of giant Himalayas.

Yoga trek Annapurna - a completely new and different way of exploration and meditation on the Himalayas.

To start the Yoga trek in Annapurna, we take the short drive and start our relaxing pace of walking to the Sirubari. This is the model ethnic village in Nepal having Homestay. Further, it is situated at around 1700 meters with the ethnic settlement of the Gurung people. You are welcome into the community and invited to stay in the local family home. Typically you will be eating meals as a family member that allow you to witness and experience the local ethnic group lifestyle and their culture firsthand. Furthermore, we hike to Panchase via a less-trodden trekking route in the Annapurna region.

Furthermore, we trek to the Panchase over 2500 meters. Besides that, it offers a great panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges along with Fishtail and Manaslu peaks. Panchase, literally meaning five sacred seats, is an ancient pilgrimage climb. This Panchase is a holy place for Yoga practice at the same time. Panchase means five religious seats, which is an old pilgrimage climb. The climb itself holds tremendous significance in Yoga. It is believed that sagas were mediated many centuries ago at the Shiddi Baba temple (Lord Shiva), Homekunda (place for the ritual of offering fire), Panchase lake, Balaji Phachyan temple, and Buddha Stupa.

Description

This classic trek around the Annapurna, the world’s tenth-highest mountain and one of the most famous Himalayan giants, is one of the most diverse in terms of landscapes, altitude, and cultures: trekking through the three different regions of Lamjung, Manang and Mustang, you will experience a variety of cultures and all types of scenery Nepal has to offer. Altitudes on this trek vary between 800m at the beginning of the trek to 5,416m at Thorung La, one of the highest passes in the world, originally used by locals as a trade route, and a formidable challenge for any trekker. Thorung La offers spectacular views of the Annapurna range and smaller ranges northwards into Tibet. This trek also includes the holy village of Muktinath and old Buddhist monasteries in Kagbeni, Marpha and Jharkot. The journey ends in Jomsom, from where we fly back to Pokhara.

  • Meditation & energizing Hatha Yoga class

  • Overnight in a teahouse

Day 02 //  Bhulbule – Jagat // 1,300m //   5hr trek

  • Today the trail drops steeply to Syange at 1,070m from Bahundanda crossing the Marshyangdi River on a suspension bridge. We then follow the river to the stone village of Jagat or before climbing through forest to Chyamje at 1,400m.

Day 03 //  Jagat – Tal // 1,700m  //  5hr trek

  • The day begins with the rocky trail following the Marshyangdi Rivers steadily uphill to Tal at 1,675m, the first village in the Manang district. We make a trailverse crossing a wide, flat valley and stay at a colorful village of Tal.

Day 04 //  Tal – Dharapani // 1,860m //  6hr trek

  • The trail continues through a wide flat valley and then climbs up and down stone stairways until we reach to Dharapani at 1,890m. There we find a stone entrance chorten typical of the Tibetan influenced villages from here northwards.

Day 05 //  Dharapani – Chame // 2,670m  //  7hr trek

  • Often rough and rocky, the trail climbs to Tyanja at 2,360m and then continues through forest, but near the river, to Kopar at 2,590m. As we reach Chame, the headquarters of the Manang district, we are rewarded by the fine views of Annapurna II and two small hot springs by the town.

Day 06 //  Chame – Pisang // 3,200m  //  6hr trek

  • The day starts through deep forest in a steep and narrow valley, crossing rivers on long bridges at 2,910m and 3,040m, and admiring the view of Paungda Danda rock face. From there the trail climbs to Pisang, where we have the choice of staying at Lower Pisang (better accommodation but less mountain view) or climbing an extra hour on a steep trail to reach Higher Pisang with more basic facilities but better mountain views.

Day 07 //  Pisang – Manang // 3,540m //  5hr trek

  • Today we continue through the drier upper part of the Manang district, cut off from the full effect of the monsoon by the Annapurna Range. People of this region herd yaks & raise crops for part of the year and they also continue to enjoy special trading rights gained back in 1784. Leaving Pisang, we have an alternate trails north and south of the Marshyangdi River which meet up again at Mungji. The southern route by Hongde, with its airstrip, at 3,325m involves less climbing than the northern route via Ghyaru, though there are better views on the trail that follows the northern bank of the river. From Mungji, the trail continues past the picturesque but partially hidden village of Bryanga at 3,475m to nearby Manang at 3,500m.

Day 08 //  Manang – Rest day & acclimatization

Day 9 //  Manang – Yak Kharka // 4,000m //  4hr trek

  • The trail climbs gradually towards Yak Kharka, leaving the Marshyangdi Valley, and continuing along the Jarsang Khola Valley. At Yak Kharka (4,030m), we notice that vegetation is steadily getting more sparse. We spend the night in Yak Kharka or continue to Ledar at 4250m and stay there.

Day 10 //  Yak Kharka – Throng Phedi // 4,420m //  5hr trek

  • The trail descends to cross the river at 4,310m and then climbs up to Thorong Phedi at 4,420m/14,500ft. We have a choice to either stay overnight here and start very early the next morning or to continue for another 45min to the High Camp at 4,880m – this will depend on the group as it is colder up there and more difficult to sleep due to higher altitude.

Day 11 //  Phedi – Thorung La 5,416m // Muktinath 3,710m //  10hr trek

  • A very early start to a long day, made more challenging by altitude and sometimes snow. Climbing to the top of the pass marked by with magnificent views and prayer flags and chortens takes 3-4 hours. From there, we follow the path down to the holy village of Muktinath, taking about 4-5 hours.

Day 12 //  Muktinath – Jomsom // 2,720m //   6hr trek

  • This is an easy day walking back to Jomsom, but can be tedious if we are unlucky to get the strong winds. From Muktinath to Jomsom, you will see the people of Mustang, a restricted area to the north, who come to sell handicrafts to pilgrims. We will pass some ancient caves and see the impressive White Mountain that is the Dhaulagiri.

Day 13 //  Jomsom – Pokhara  //  30min flight or 8-9hr drive

annapurna base camp yoga trek in nepal

The origins of yoga are greatly associated with Hindu culture and traditions. Many believe that it was Lord Shiva who created this divine art and later, he shared his knowledge with sages.

Evening Yoga

We shall practice yoga in the evening as well, i.e. 1-2 hours after completing the trek. Evening yoga can be cumbersome for many as the body as the daily activity takes its toll on the body and consequently, the body demands rest. It is crucial to have a strong mental fortitude to finish the evening session. The first 2 days are only tough then later, you will breeze through it.

The evening sessions of the Annapurna Base Camp  yoga trek in Nepal  comprises of asanas and meditation. An extra activity that you will take part in is yogic philosophy.

Best time to take this yoga trek in Nepal

 The best time to explore the Annapurna region is after the monsoon ends. It means that you should take this trek from the start of October till mid-December. During this time, the sky is clear and you get to enjoy amazing views. Pre-monsoon is also suitable but you might experience difficulties in witnessing amazing views. Pre-monsoon in Nepal starts in February and lasts until July.

Drink plenty of water to hydrate after your flight, and enjoy your first evening in Kathmandu …

We’ll need your travel medical insurance, a copy of your passport and Nepali visa, and one (or more) visa-sized photos (inquire if we need for your trek); please have them ready to give to Lhakpa, Doma or Nuru.

Cafe Caravan & Dolpo Gallery Dolpo Artist  Tenzin Norbu  creates wonderful Dolpo paintings, the prints (and some originals) are available from our  Cafe Caravan  at Boudhanath Stupa, housed in one of Boudha’s original historic buildings, decorated in a bright, Tibetan style and overlooking the magnificent stupa!

Kathmandu | World Heritage Sightseeing Tours – Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Durbar Square & Swayambunath Kathmandu is filled with World Heritage sites and sacred destinations, crowded with traditional neighborhoods and colorful festivals. Spend a few days exploring Nepal’s exotic capital and the history-laden Kathmandu valley. We can arrange sightseeing guides and vehicles as required. See Kathmandu Heritage & Happenings for more details.

We recommend beginning with Pashupatinath in the early morning and moving on to Boudhanath mid-morning. Hindu Pashupatinath on the sacred Bagmati river and its sacred temple complex is one of Nepal’s most important sites, a powerful cremation site, and Nepal’s most important Hindu temple. Here, monkeys run up and down the steps of the burning ghats, and trident-bearing saddhus draped in burnt-orange and saffron sit serenely meditating when they’re not posing for photos-for-rupees. Local guides can explain the significance of the complicated ceremonies. Please be respectful when taking photos.

Boudhanath, in the midst of traditional monasteries (gonpas in Tibetan) and hung with long strings of multi-colored prayer flags, attracts Sherpas, Tibetans, and tourists alike for daily circumambulations (koras) of the iconic stupa. The striking Buddha eyes of Boudhanath Stupa watch over a lively and colorful Tibetan community and attract pilgrims from all over the Himalayan Buddhist realm. There are wonderful spots for lunch at Boudhanath (Roadhouse Cafe has wood-oven pizzas and a breathtaking view of the stupa and colorful Nepals circling it), and it’s a good place to learn the technique of thanka painting and purchase a thanka (Buddhist mural). See also Bhaktapur for more options for shopping for thankas.

Wander through the many temples, pagodas, courtyards, and the museum at Kathmandu Durbar Square, a timeless gathering spot and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Kathmandu Durbar Square, including the old royal palace, is Kathmandu’s ‘Palace Square’, a showcase for the world-renowned artisans and craftsmen of Kathmandu and a synthesis of Hindu and Buddhist palaces, temples, stupas, and statues. The Malla and Shah kings ruled over the Kathmandu Valley during the centuries of the building of the layers of this Durbar Square. Along with their opulent palaces, the square surrounds numerous courtyards and temples, all works of art with intricate and often erotic carvings. Kathmandu Durbar Square is known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, a name derived from a statue of Hanuman, the monkey devotee of Lord Ram, at the entrance of the palace. The social, religious and urban focal point of the city, Durbar Square is often the site of festivals, marriages, and other ceremonies such as Teej. Some important structures are Hanuman Dhoka Palace, Kumari Ghar (Abode of the Living Goddess), Taleju Temple, built between the 12th and 18th centuries, the 17th century stone inscription set into the wall of the palace with writings in 15 languages.

In the evening (take the interesting back streets from Durbar Square) climb the many steps to the gilded Swayambhunath stupa (known as the monkey temple) which rises from the Kathmandu valley floor at 1420 meters and is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Nepal. Swayambunath, the ‘self-created’  stupa, was founded over 2000 years ago at a time when the Kathmandu valley was filled by a large lake, with a single lotus in the center. Mythology says that Manjusri, a bodhisattva, drained the lake with one cut of his sword and the lotus flower was transformed into the stupa. From its commanding views of Kathmandu, circumambulate Swayambunath’s white-washed stupa, painted with distinctive Buddha eyes, the complex a unique synthesis of Buddhism and Hinduism. Another interesting time to visit Swayambunath is in the mornings when Nepalis visit the temple dedicated to the God of Smallpox with colorful offerings for the goddess.

Stop to photograph reflections in Kathmandu’s many pokharis or ponds, including the beautiful Rani Pokhari (queen’s bath) near New Road, and the Naga Pokhari (pond of the snake gods of the underworld) just beyond the palace gates. The many bathing ghats, square enclosures with steps leading down to water spouts, often decorated with naga heads, are also interesting and colorful gathering spots.

Day 3 – Fly Pokhara 830m | Drive Lumle + Trek Birethanti 10250m | Sanctuary Lodge Transfer to the domestic airport for the scenic flight to beautiful Pokhara, Nepal’s second-largest city 198 kilometers west of Kathmandu. En route, look down on rivers flowing towards the Terai from the Himalayas and Tibet, over a patchwork of terraced villages and green hills with the Ganesh, Langtang, Manaslu, and Annapurna ranges in the distance, to balmy, sub-tropical Pokhara.

Once in Pokhara, a private vehicle will transfer you, with your guide and porter, to Lumle, from where you will start the trek into the wonderful, green central Annapurna region. Once checked into the Annapurna Conservation Area, your trek will follow a ridgeline in the lower foothills of the Annapurnas with surrounding views of the green Pokhara valley. The trail then drops to the Modi River Valley, where Ker & Downey’s beautiful Sanctuary Lodge is located.

From its vantage overlooking the Modi River, the Sanctuary Lodge is also afforded stunning views of the sacred Fishtail Mountain in the distance. This stylish lodge was handcrafted by local artisans and enjoys a prime location on a promontory with half a mile of riverfront views. Travel to the nearby village of Birethanti to visit the local school and to watch mule trains journey across the river via a suspension bridge. Hearty meals are served family-style in the lodge’s traditional dining rooms, inviting spaces to relax and recall the sights of the day’s trek. Spacious terraces plus a large fireplace and lounge area complete the shared spaces in the lodges, with Sanctuary Lodge also including a cozy library. A picnic lunch is provided with a late afternoon arrival at the lodge. (1 hr driving, 3-4 hrs trek) (B, L, D)

+ Your YOGA practice times will be set daily by your yoga instructor, and will include a morning and evening hour of yoga instruction.

Day 4 – Trek Gandruk | Himalayan Lodge 2015m After breakfast, you will start trekking from the lodge, hiking through the outlying farms following the Modi River Valley. You will hike straight up stone steps through a dense forest first thing in the morning, afterwards contouring less steeply along paddy fields, past slate roof houses and a few small tea-houses. Soon you begin to climb out of the valley and up towards the Himalayan peaks ahead. The trail passes through small hamlets, terraced rice fields and forests with spectacular views of the surrounding valley. The grassy trail lined with ferns and sub-tropical trees ascends after the village, and after crossing a few small streams and contouring around terraced hillsides we reach the hillside village of Gandruk. Lunch will be served on arrival at Himalayan Lodge, in the early afternoon.

Ker & Downey’s Himalaya Lodge overlooks the slate-roofed village of Gandruk, once a popular recruitment location for the Gurkha soldier regiments. Villagers today craft traditional hand-woven rugs as they have for generations, and also participate in ecological endeavors via the Annapurna Conservation Area Project. Spend the afternoon exploring this fascinating and bustling Gurung village, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, white-washed, slate-roofed houses with porches and traditionally-carved windows, water buffaloes in thatched huts and open slate patios. Enjoy the magnificent views of the Annapurnas from the lodge, or hike up a bit along the cobbled steps for sunset views in the evening. Annapurna South and Hiunchuli dominate the horizon while Macchupucchre resembles a fish tail. Annapurna I and Gangapurna are just visible in the distance if the weather is clear.

Gandruk is perhaps the largest and most prosperous village in the Annapurna foothills region, with two interesting museums, local restaurants featuring their unique Gurung cuisine, and many guest houses. Wander through Gandruk’s stone paths, returning to the Himalayan Lodge for a traditional lunch, and enjoy a rosy Himalayan sunset in the late afternoon, pure heaven!  (5 – 6 hrs) (B, L, D)

You will arrive in Landruk in time for lunch, and afterward your guide will take you on an exploration hike of this mountain village. Watch the local Gurung women weaving with their wooden looms, drying vegetables to make a spicy ‘achar’, sorting lentils for dal or involved in the morning’s washing at the village taps. (4 hrs) (B, L, D)

Day 6 – Trek Majgaun 1400m | Gurung Lodge  Wake to a misty morning of Himalayan peaks, with Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South rising majestically out of the shrouded valley, an awesome sight. Another wonderful day of trekking, starting with a gentle wander through the extensive village of Landruk, endlessly interesting. Today’s trek contours the side of the hill, with small ups and downs, passing through villages and farmland. You’ll reach Kerr & Downey’s Gurung Lodge in time for lunch with optional afternoon hikes to the surrounding villages. Tribal-style houses and manicured gardens comprise Gurung Lodge on the edge of the village of Majgaun with incredible views of the surrounding mountains and valleys and wonderful photographic opportunities. Enjoy the vivid colors at sunset over the Annapurna peaks at sunset. (4 hrs) (B, L, D)

Day 7 – Trek Dhampus 1525 m | Basanta Lodge This morning we start out trekking through the unspoiled village of Patlekhet. Our walk takes us through sub-tropical forests that include tree orchids, rhododendrons, and magnolias. Along the way, we will stop at the village of Pothana where many Tibetan traders live and sell their souvenirs. Continue to climb through lovely rhododendron forests and you soon reach the small hamlet of Pothana, a possible stopping point for the night. The wonderful views continue at Deurali, with quaint, Himalayan villages opening up below us. Soon we reach Dhampus and Kerr & Downey’s Basanta Lodge, from where we’ll enjoy sweeping views of the entire Annapurna Range, including the Phedi and Mardi Valleys. After lunch at the lodge, there will be an optional walk through the old village of Dhampus.

Day 10 – Fly Kathmandu After breakfast, board the morning flight back to Kathmandu where you’ll once again have an afternoon yoga session at 4:30 on the Kathmandu Guest House lawn to wind down after your wonderful trek through the lovely Annapurna foothills!

Dinner will again be optional, but we suggest meeting the group in the lobby for a last dinner out in Thamel … (B)

Day 11 – Trip Ends | Transfer TIA Airport Start the morning with a walking meditation and yoga at 7:30am, followed by breakfast in the Kathmandu Guest House garden. Transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport for your flight home. Namaste! (B)

Not Enough of Nepal? We highly suggest taking advantage of your trip to Nepal to add on some excursions to the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, Bandipur, Gorkha, the Annapurna Foothills, Chitwan and Bardia National Parks where you can enjoy heritage tours, mountain biking, white water rafting, yoga and meditation courses, Nepali cooking classes, Buddhist retreats and much more. Don’t miss an Everest sightseeing flight, sightseeing trips to Bhaktapur and Patan (Kathmandu Valley’s other historic capital cities), a weekend at Shivapuri Heights Resort or Dwarikas Kathmandu resort, a night at the Fort Hotel in Nagarkot for sunrise and sunset Himalayan panoramas, a spa and wellness getaway at the ultra-luxurious Dwarikas Dhulikhel Resort and visits to ancient temple and monastery complexes such as Namo Buddha, Changu Narayan, Dakshinkali and Panauti. Spend a night at The Old Inn in Bandipur or Three Mountain Lodge en route to Pokhara and get to know Nepal’s Newar heritage. Relax in heritage style at Temple Tree Resort in Pokhara for some pampering at the spa and infinity pool, try out paragliding, zip-lining and enjoy a morning of boating on the lake and the hike to Shanti Stupa. Once refreshed, drive to Chitwan National Park, spending at least 2 nights at either Maruni Sanctuary Resort or Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge for wildlife and bird spotting in style. Tiger Tops also has a heritage lodge at Bardia National Park, reached by flight from Kathmandu. And of course, Nepal has world-class restaurants, great bars, endless timeless alleyways for wandering and exploring, countless Hindu and Buddhist festivals and lots of shopping for just enjoying yourself without having to plan. Namaste!

Tsering Sherpa is marvelous, extremely responsible, serious, devoted, very thoughtful, discreet and very pleasant to trek with. He is very helpful, well travelled, speaks good English, is well-mannered and has a good experience as a mountaineer and a climber.  He is very powerful, strong and quick, and smiles a lot! He seems to know everybody on the trail, is active in his community and is respected by other Sherpas. On trek he was a good counsellor on food, and of course respectful of tradition and of the Tibetan Buddhist faith. With him we felt very secure as he knows the trail and all the short cuts. – Nan + Odette (France), Private Everest Base Camp Trek 2014

Viney was my private guide to trek to Everest base camp in October 2013.  I felt very secure with him the entire time.  He was always attentive to my wellbeing from the time we started in x (kim pls fill in) where we ended up slogging through rainfall and mud due to the cyclone left over from India, all the way through to the end of our trip in Lukla.  I could count on him without a doubt every day of the entire 3 weeks we spent together.  Thanks to Viney for an excellent trek! – Lori C (USA), Private Everest High Passes Trek 2014

Last May I spent almost three weeks hiking with Mingma in the Khumbu region of Nepal and we explored the Gokyo lakes, Gokyo valley and we climbed Gokyo Ri. Mingma is an experienced mountain-guide, knows all the summits in the region, the Sherpas and routes.  He is responsive of the challenges, strong and kind, but he is very calm in case of difficult situations. While we walked together, he was attentive and he always tried to accommodate my phyisical condition and my spiritual eagerness. We spent wonderful time together and I immensely enjoyed every moment of the trek. I am planning to walk with him again in 2015! – Kati K (Hungary), Private Gokyo Lakes Trek 2014

Tashi was the perfect guide for me. I was going solo, and looking mostly for solitude; Tashi’s temperament was the perfect match for mine. When he had something to say, it seemed eerily to come right when I was about to ask him a question about the very thing he started to speak about! He has a real passion for the natural world he lives in and for the Sherpa people and their traditions, too. I ended up falling ill with something and here again Tashi was the perfect guide – helpful but not smothering or overly-solicitous. I will be back, and with my family and I’m certain to request that Tashi accompanies us when we return. – Nick A-H (UK), Private Everest Base Camp Trek 2014

They made the complex easy. From a wonderful guide to helping me arrange evacuation when I got sick, I was always in knowledeable, kind, efficient hands. I recommend Kamzang Journeys without reservation and I’ll be using them when I return to Nepal in September 2014! – Nick A (UK), Private Everest Trek 2013

Yoga Instructor Hayley Mia

Hayley Mia came to yoga from a holistic background having worked as a massage therapist. She has a very hands on approach to Yoga, concentrating on alignment whilst encouraging you to find your own path. She discovered yoga whilst living in New Zealand, starting with Ashtanga, having practiced many different styles, she really relates to the discipline and the core strengthening elements of the Ashtanga Vinyasa style. Teaching felt like the natural progression and so she traveled to India to train in Ashtanga, Vinyasa flow, Rocket and Yin yoga and is now a 700 hour certified Yoga Alliance teacher. Hayley has been teaching for 6 years and practicing for over 10.

Nepal Visas You can get your Nepal visa either at the Kathmandu airport (or any land border) when you arrive in Nepal, or before you leave home. Foreign currency ($40-$100) but no visa photo required.  Nepal Visa

Nepal Health Information  Nepal Health Information CDC

We also recommend bringing  probiotics  with you to help prevent infections while on trek, or when taking antibiotics. Doctor’s recommendation!

Travel Medical Insurance Required for your own safely. We carry a copy of your insurance with all contact, personal and policy information with us on the trek and our office in Kathmandu keeps a copy. Note that we almost always trek over 4000 meters (13,000+ feet) and that we don’t do any technical climbing with ropes, ice axes or crampons.

Global Rescue Insurance We recommend that our trekkers also sign up for Global Rescue services as a supplement to your travel medical insurance. You can book this directly through our Kamzang Journeys site: Global Rescue

Medical + Suggested Meds See Gear Tab. We’re happy to take excess medical supplies off your hands when you leave if you won’t need them and pass them on to others. We use lots of the large amount we have with us to treat locals as well as our own trekkers …

Notes on Itinerary Although we try to follow the itinerary below, it is ONLY a guideline based on years of experience trekking in the Himalaya. At times local trail, river or weather conditions may make a deviation necessary; rivers may be impassible, snow blocks passes, and landslides wipe out trails. The trekking itinerary and campsites may also vary slightly depending on the group’s acclimatization rate or sickness.

The Himalaya are our passion, and we take trekking seriously. Although everyone is here on vacation, please come with a dollop of patience and compassion added to your sense of adventure …

Arrival Kathmandu

Arrival in Kathmandu You will be met at the airport by a representative from Dwarika’s or Kamzang Journeys and transferred to Dwarika’s where your Heritage Room has been booked for you. Enjoy your welcome drink while we collect your insurance details, a visa sized photo and a copy of your passport from you.

Temperatures + Clothing Kathmandu during trekking season, in the spring and autumn, is usually warm (t-shirt, sandals, light pants or skirts) during the day, and gets chilly (light fleece or windproof top) in the afternoon. Nights can be cold enough for a sweater or light jacket, or warm enough for t-shirts. Summer is hotter and wetter; you’ll need a rain jacket and umbrella. The winter months (November – March) are chilly in the mornings and evenings, cold enough that you might start the day in a down jacket, but often warms up enough to wear a t-shirt by mid-day. Nights get cold enough for a down jacket if you’re sitting outside in the spring and autumn, and much colder in the winter when you won’t leave the hotel without your down jacket. It never snows in Kathmandu, leave your snow boots behind. Keens or lightweight sandals great for wandering around Kathmandu, and for trekking in lower altitudes.

Trekking is a mixed bag of temperatures. LAYERS are the key as hot can change quickly to freezing crossing the passes and snowfalls are common. We often have some rain below 3000 meters in the spring and early autumn, and it can rain hard in the summer. Have a wide range of layer-able trekking clothes for summer to winter temperatures. Keep a lightweight down jacket or synthetic jacket with you at all times, available inexpensively in Kathmandu. A lightweight rain poncho and umbrella for trekking recommended spring and summer. Be prepared! See our GEAR LIST for full details on gear, shoes, clothing, electronics and meds for the trek.

There are lots of real gear shops (North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, Sherpa Gear) and of course many fake ones in Kathmandu, so if you don’t think you have the right gear starting the trip it will be easy to pick-up stuff once in Kathmandu. We have sleeping bags, duffel bags down jackets to rent.

Dress conservatively in Kathmandu and on the trail as a rule. Shorts are okay if they aren’t too short, mini skirts aren’t recommended. Sleeveless t-shirts are absolutely fine, but perhaps avoid tank-tops on the trail. Super tight doesn’t go over so well with the village elders. Many of the younger generation in Nepal wear modern Indian or Western-influenced clothes, but remember that you haven’t signed up for a beach or surf vacation. Use your good judgment, be an ambassador for western tourists! Please ask Kim or your guide if unsure about appropriate clothing.

Cultural Issues Nepalis are very open and welcoming, but there are a few issues you should be aware of to make your stay in Nepal more fulfilling. Use your right hand to pass things, shake hands or do most anything. Left hands are somewhat taboo. Nepali’s often place their left hand on the right forearm when passing things to others, a sign of respect. Best not to pat kids on heads, or point feet ahead of you at monasteries. Don’t walk over someone’s legs or feet, but put your hand down in front of you to signal them to pull their legs to the side. Take off shoes and hats when going into Buddhist monasteries and Hindu temples, don’t use flashes inside monasteries or temples in general, be respectful of a puja (prayer ceremony) if attending one. You can talk, all religious are very tolerant, but be aware of your level of voice.

Nepalis don’t anger quickly, so try not to raise your voice if exasperated or angry as it only will make a situation worse. Do bargain at shops, with taxis and rickshaws, but don’t fleece them. They are poor and making a living, generally.

Give small donations on the streets if you choose, but try not to encourage begging too much. Be aware of who you are giving money to, and please only give small amounts. If you do want to donate to a cause, ask about our Kamzang Fund or other responsible organizations.

Pampering Yourself in Kathmandu We’re happy to book your rooms before or after the trek (or upgrade during the trek) at other boutique or luxury hotels in Kathmandu. We recommend Dwarika’s, Shangri-La, Yak & Yeti or Hyatt. We can also direct you to wonderful spa & massage centers in Kathmandu.

Tips for Staff We recommend at least $200 per person to go into the tip pool for the staff. Please bring Nepali Rupees (NRP) with you on the trek for the tips. It’s nice to buy the staff drinks on the last night. Or any other night that you feel like getting them a bottle of Kukure Rum!

Tips in General Tips are always appreciated but they don’t need to be extravagant. 100 NRP to carry bags to/from your room is fine. The women who clean your room will be happy with 100-200 NRP when you leave, and 100 NRP is good for drivers to/from the airport. Round up taxi fares. A larger tip would be expected for a daytrip in a car, perhaps 500 NRP. 10% is included in most restaurant and hotel bills in Nepal, and if it’s not included it’s still expected. Check your bills, and still round up at restaurants. Feel free to give out small change to the beggars in the streets (5, 10, 20 NRP) but try not to give it out to the street kids who use it for glue to sniff.

Cash + ATMs You’ll want some cash with you on the trek for drinks, snacks, beer, sodas, etc. There are often  chances to during the trek, and usually local crafts to buy en route. (You’ll want your tip money in NRP as well). There are ATMs in KTM but they don’t dispense large amounts of cash (usually 10-20,000 NRP) so you’ll be best with currency or TCs to change.

Medical + Suggested MEDS We send a small medical kit to the mountains with your guide, but we recommend having your own medical supplies with you. Suggestions and commonly used meds below, feel free to consult with your doctor first. And please have a full medical check-up before leaving home, and inform us of any medical issues. This is for YOUR OWN safety! Suggested prescriptions + meds: Dexamethasone, Nifedipine + Diamox (altitude), Azithromycin, Ciprofloxacin + Augmentin (antibiotics), Compeed or blister bandages, Tegaderm, bandages, tape, antibiotic ointment + Betadine (Povidone-Iodine ointment) (wounds + cuts), knee + ankle supports/braces (if required), ACE bandage for sprains + strains. Bring whatever pain meds you generally use (Ibuprofen, Paracetamol/Tylenol, Diclofenac), meds for diarrhea (Loperimide/Immodium) and nausea (Ondansetron), antihistamines (non-drowsy, and Benadryl is ok for a drowsy one that might help with sleep), as well as any medications that you take regularly or that your doctor prescribes. We recommend picking up a combination salmeterol and fluticasone inhaler in Kathmandu, good for (from a doctor trekking friend “high altitude cough due to reactive airways, which is kind of like temporary asthma. The ingredients in the inhaler relax the bronchial passages and calm inflammation in the airways.” Stay away from sleeping medications, drugs in the codeine-opiate-narcotic family and other drugs that suppress your breathing (not a good at altitude). And don’t forget electrolytes! – have some with you in your pack (as well as snacks) every day please …

Comments on Gear Layers are essential for trekking. Quality is more important than quantity. It’s worth investing in some new, warm, lightweight gear available in all gear shops or online. Nights are chilly to cold so a down jacket and sleeping bag are essential. Days range from steamy hot to cold with snow showers, or wind, if the weather changes. We recommend a down bag of 0F for lower altitude treks. Rentals available.

Trekking poles are not required but strongly recommended, especially for going down passes which can be quite steep and are often icy. Bring gators if you tend to use them but they’re not required if you don’t own a pair. Micro-spikes (mini-crampons) or YakTraks are almost always useful (or essential) for high pass crossings. It’s also good (possibly essential) to have a pair of plastic Crocs for washing and the evenings. Tevas take a long time to dry, not recommended. You can bring a pair of light sneakers or running shoes for the afternoons or easy days if you have room in your pack, or if you are used to hiking in them.

Good, polarized sunglasses are essential; please bring an extra pair if you tend to lose them! Don’t forget a sun hat or baseball cap and have plenty of sunscreen and lip balm with SPF! Bring extra large plastic bags or stuff-sacks in case of rain. You can pack electronics in them or stash your sleeping bag and clothes. The weather is very changeable in the Himalaya!

Day Pack We recommend a 25-35 liter day pack (ask at your gear shop if you’re not sure of the capacity). Most have internal water bladders built in, which are good for ensuring that you stay hydrated. Make sure it fits and is comfortable before purchasing!

In your day pack you will carry your camera, water, snacks, lightweight wind & rain pants, hat, light gloves, sunscreen, electrolytes. hand sanitizer, a pack-cover and sometimes your lightweight down jacket. I carry my Crocs to give feet a break mid-day. Water purifying tablets, filter or SteriPen optional. Go as light as possible with your day pack.

Water We bring MSF water filters along on the trek for fresh drinking water, ecologically the best way to get water in the Himalaya’s fragile trekking regions. Bring your own filter pump, SteriPen or iodine tablets for fresh water while trekking. NOTE: To be extra safe with your drinking water, you can drop one purifying tablet into your water bottle after filling with our filtered water. Make sure you wait the required amount of time before drinking, and don’t add anything with Vitamin C as this negates the iodine.

Please bring at least TWO Nalgene, Sigg or other unbreakable plastic or metal water bottles. Camelbacks and other bladder systems are good for trekking but can leak, so as a back-up it’s best to also bring a Nalgene or water bottle.

NOTE: We do not provide boiled water for drinking on either our tea-house | lodge or camping treks although there is endless hot water for herbal, milk and green teas, hot chocolate and hot lemon.

Snacks You body needs snacks hiking at altitude, even if you don’t generally snack between meals. We burn more calories at altitude, as well as in the cold, and you will crave certain foods at altitude. Energy or nutrition bars, ‘GU’ gels, chocolate, dried fruits, nuts and jerky work well for immediate energy. Emergen-C, Nuun and electrolytes are important for daily rehydration.

Rentals We have Western down jackets to rent for $1.50 per day.  We also have good super-down sleeping bags to rent (0 to -10F) for $2.50 per day.

Duffel Bags We have orange North Face-style duffel bags with Kamzang logos for sale, between L + XL. (+$40)

Packing & Storage Packing and unpacking is easy from a duffel bag, and easy for a porter to carry.Inexpensive duffel bags are also available in Kathmandu. You can store extra gear in Kathmandu in your hotel’s storage room free of charge. You can drop a bag for Pokhara at the hotel before setting off for the trek.

Shopping Almost all gear is now available in Kathmandu, from real (North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Sherpa Gear, Marmot – all in Thamel) to inexpensive knock-offs. The real gear shops take credit cards!

About Annapurna

Annapurna Foothills Trek The beautiful Lower Annapurnas (Annapurna foothills) trek starts just 25 kilometers north of Pohara, and is often referred to as the Poon Hill trek because of the incredible sunrise Himalayan panoramas from this viewpoint above Ghorepani. Macchapuchare (Fish Tail Peak) is the most renown mountain in this region, an unmistakable peak which rises above the clouds. Views from Poon Hill are awe inspiring, and include the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges: Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna II, III, + IV, Dhaulagiri, Lamjung Himal, Gangapurna and Manaslu!

Our Annapurna Peaks & Villages Trek features terraced slopes, green rice paddies, rhododendron forests, local cultures and traditional Gurung and Magar villages, Ghorepani and Gandruk being two of the largest Gurung villages in the Annapurna region. It’s a wonderful, shorter low altitude trek in the lower Annapurna region is the perfect introduction to the diversity and excitement of trekking in Nepal. We start the Nepal trek in steamy Hindu villages, where water buffaloes wallow in the rivers, colorful, sari-clad women sit and weave by thatched huts, and villagers perform ancient rituals to appease their local deities. The sub-tropical forests come alive with an immense variety of bird life, waterfalls thunder down from steep cliff sides and monkeys chatter from the tree-tops.

Trekking higher into the green, terraced hills we wander through ancient, mossy rhododendron forests to reach the cooler Buddhist and animistic middle hills, where chortens and prayer flags send prayers out to the gods and the Gurung and Magar inhabitants look more Tibetan than Nepali. Terraced fields and tropical fruit trees surround the neat, white-washed Gurung villages of the higher regions, leading the eye to vistas dominated by some of the Himalaya’s most majestic peaks. The Annapurna region is truly the heart of the Nepal Himalaya.

Kathmandu Tours

Kathmandu Heritage Multi Day Tours & Hikes Kathmandu Valley | Heritage Treks & Tours – Nepal

Kathmandu | Full Day World Heritage Sightseeing Tour | Boudhanath, Pashupatinath & Swayambunath Kathmandu is filled with World Heritage sites and sacred destinations, crowded with traditional neighborhoods and colorful festivals. Spend a few days exploring Nepal’s exotic capital and the history-laden Kathmandu valley. We can arrange sightseeing guide, vehicles and guides as required. See  Kathmandu Heritage + Happenings  for more details.

We recommend beginning with Pashupatinath in the early morning, and moving on to Boudhanath mid-morning. Hindu Pashupatinath on the sacred Bagmati river and its sacred temple complex is one of Nepal’s most important sites, a powerful cremation site and Nepal’s most important Hindu temple. Here, monkeys run up and down the steps of the burning ghats, and trident-bearing saddhus draped in burnt-orange and saffron sit serenely meditating, when they’re not posing for photos-for-rupees. Local guides can explain the significance of the complicated ceremonies. Please be respectful when taking photos.

Boudhanath, in the midst of traditional monasteries (gompas) and hung with long strings of multi-colored prayer flags, attracts Sherpas, Tibetans and tourists alike for daily circumambulations (koras) of the iconic stupa. The striking Buddha eyes of Boudhanath Stupa watch over a lively and colorful Tibetan community and attract pilgrims from all over the Himalayan Buddhist realm. There are wonderful spots for lunch at Boudhanath (Roadhouse Cafe has wood-oven pizzas and a breathtaking view of the stupa and colorful Nepals circling it), and it’s a good place to learn the technique of thanka painting and purchase a thanka (Buddhist mural). See also Bhaktapur for more options for shopping for thankas.

Wander through the many temples, pagodas, courtyards and the museum at Kathmandu Durbar Square, a timeless gathering spot and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Kathmandu Durbar Square, including the old royal palace, is Kathmandu’s ‘Palace Square’, a showcase for the world renown artisans and craftsmen of Kathmandu and a synthesis of Hindu and Buddhist palaces, temples, stupas and statues. The Malla and Shah kings ruled over the Kathmandu Valley during the centuries of the building of the layers of this Durbar Square. Along with their opulent palaces, the square surrounds numerous courtyards and temples, all works of art with intricate and often erotic carvings. Kathmandu Durbar Square is known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, a name derived from a statue of Hanuman, the monkey devotee of Lord Ram, at the entrance of the palace. The social, religious and urban focal point of the city, Durbar Square is often the site of festivals, marriages and other ceremonies such as Teej. Some important structures are Hanuman Dhoka Palace, Kumari Ghar (Abode of the Living Goddess), Taleju Temple, built between the 12th and 18th centuries, the 17th century stone inscription set into the wall of the palace with writings in 15 languages.

In the evening (take the interesting back streets from Durbar Square) climb the many steps to the gilded Swayambhunath stupa (known as the monkey temple) which rises from the Kathmandu valley floor at 1420 meters and is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Nepal. Swayambunath, the ‘self created’  stupa, was founded over 2000 years ago at a time when the Kathmandu valley was filled by a large lake, with a single lotus in the center. Mythology says that Manjusri, a bodhisvatti, drained the lake with one cut of his sword and the lotus flower was transformed into the stupa. From its commanding views of Kathmandu, circumambulate Swayambunath’s white-washed stupa, painted with distinctive Buddha eyes, the complex a unique synthesis of Buddhism and Hinduism. Another interesting time to visit Swayambunath is in the mornings, when Nepalis visit the temple dedicated to the God of Smallpox to with colorful offerings for the goddess.

Stop to photograph reflections in Kathmandu’s many pokhari’s, or ponds, including the beautiful Rani Pokhari (queen’s bath) near New Road, and the Naga Pokhari (pond of the snake gods of the underworld) just beyond the palace gates. The many bathing ghats, square enclosures with steps leading down to water spouts, often decorated with naga heads, are also interesting and colorful gathering spots.

+Entrance Fees not Included for Single Person

Kathmandu | Half Day World Heritage Patan Durbar Square Sightseeing Tour Visit the third of Kathmandu’s ancient capitals, known as ‘The City of Fine Arts’, best if you have an extra day in hand as Patan is also rich in cultural heritage, has many lovely roof-top cafes for lunch and world-class museums. Some of the highlights of Patan are its Durbar Square, the Krishna Temple within the palace complex of Patan (entirely made of stone, with 21 distinctive spires), and Hiranya Varna Mahavir, or the Golden Buddha Temple.

+ Entrance Fees not Included for Single Person

Kathmandu Valley | Full Day World Heritage Bhaktapur & Changu Narayan Sightseeing Tour One more day in Kathmandu, with a sightseeing excursion by private vehicle to Bhaktapur. Bhaktapur which translates as ‘Place of Devotees’ and is also known as Bhadgaon, is an ancient Newar city approximately 15 kilometers east of the Kathmandu Valley. Bhaktapur is one of three ancient capitals of the Kathmandu valley, the capital of the Newar Kingdom and a city of artisans and craftspeople famous for its art and architecture: intricate carvings, sculptures, paintings, thankas, pottery, statues and temples, or pagodas. Bhaktapur has a well-preserved ‘durbar square’, or palace square, and has been named a World Heritage site by UNESCO because of its incredible temples, pagodas, wood carvings, stone carvings and metalwork. Bhaktapur is also famous for its yogurt, called curd in Asia, a taste which hasn’t been duplicated anywhere.

Spend the day exploring Bhaktapur and its rich cultural heritage, where a majority of enthnic Newaris live in traditional ways, and life seems to stand still. There are many great restaurants and cafes to rejuvenate, and it’s possibly the best spot in Kathmandu for purchasing a thanka after watching the technique, as well as shopping for endless other locally produced crafts. Bhaktapur is home to countless local festivals, so if you are lucky and arrive on a festival day, enjoy the timeless and colorful events unfold.

You’ll also visit at Changu Narayan, a few km from Bhaktapur and one of Kathmandu’s oldest Newari temple villages. Legend has it that Changu Narayan was given to the daughter, Champak, of a Kashmiri king of Nepal when she wedded the prince of Bhaktapur. The important Vishnu temple is one of the oldest temples in all of Nepal, and was damaged during the 2015 earthquakes.

Located in the heart of Thamel, the Kathmandu Guest House is a beautiful, lively hotel with a large garden and lovely outdoor cafes, centrally located in Thamel with a wide range of restaurants, cafes, yoga and shopping surrounding it. KGH offers a wide selection of rooms including wonderful deluxe rooms.

“Travelers know that the frenetic pace of a crowded city like Kathmandu needs an escape. The Kathmandu Guest House, a converted Rana dynasty mansion with fragrant gardens and airy corridors, has provided the peaceful refuge of choice since 1967. Since the days of being the first and only hotel in Thamel, the packed tourist district of Kathmandu, it’s become something of an institution. It’s close to everywhere and its gate is the meeting point that nobody can mistake. As a guidebook put it, “Kathmandu Guest House acts as a magnet for mountaineers, pop stars, actors and eccentric characters.” Even the Beatles stayed here in 1968.

Kathmandu Guest House prides itself on being affordable to all budgets, from those looking to treat themselves to total comfort in elegantly modern suites, to volunteers and scholars who take the famous no-frills rooms. Whether you’re returning from the mountains or arriving from the airport, come and relax at the courtyard restaurant, order a cup of fine Italian coffee or a chilled Gorkha Beer, and escape for a moment in the historic surroundings of Kathmandu’s most loved guesthouse.”

DWARIKA’S HOTEL Dwarika’s Hotel Dwarika’s, Kathmandu’s premier hotel built and decorated with traditional Kathmandu valley architecture, is an oasis of calm located near the airport, where you can relax by the pool, visit the award-winning spa, enjoy the serene, historic surroundings and dine at one of their world-class restaurants. 

“Dwarika’s Hotel was registered in 1977, with the idea of reviving the architectural splendour of the valley. All the terracotta work was made in the valley, using local clay and skills. The couple also incorporated elements of Nepal’s diverse cultural heritage, including those from beyond the valley, when designing the rooms. The furniture was crafted by families of traditional carpenters, and the linen, textiles and embroideries were hand woven and used Nepali patterns. In all purposes, Dwarika Das Shrestha took some of the finest elements of Nepali crafts, and presented them in a way that had not been done before. In explaining his vision, he once stated: “My project is to recreate a 15th-17th century environment where tourist and Nepali alike would have a sensation of the original. The hotel as a commercial enterprise is merely a vehicle to finance and carry my dream forward.”

The Himalayan belt has been home to holistic healing and wellbeing for more than three thousand years. The region’s approach to wellbeing, its serene natural beauty and rare medicinal herbs has attracted great sages through time. The Hindu Vedic scriptures describe Ayurveda, the science of life, as a comprehensive approach to wellbeing that encompasses the study of biology, spirituality, psychology, astronomy, nutrition and beauty. Originating from the same roots the Buddhist approaches to wellbeing also follows similar path and views health as harmony between the mind, body, spirit and one’s environment.

The resort has been designed based on the knowledge of these ancient understanding about holistic wellbeing with all the spaces being consecrated and brought to life. The lifestyle spaces within the resort are designed to attract positive energy and keep negative energy at bay. When you go around the resort you can find details we have placed in various spaces to ensure the energy within the resort is as positive as possible.

The whole hotel is a sumptuous array of beautiful artifacts, art, and traditionally crafted fixtures. Attention to detail has been meticulously considered throughout, giving the feeling you aren’t just in a hotel as much as an art gallery or museum.

Annapurna Yoga Trek in Nepal

Things to keep in mind

Best Seller

Nepal is a land of Devas, saints, and sages. As such, Nepal is one of the best places to practice Yoga, considering the country's piousness concerning astrology, Ayurveda, tantra, and Vastu-Shastra. Yoga and meditation balance spiritual life and material life and helps in giving positive thoughts and contentment. It helps in purifying the body, mind, and soul. The 12 Days Annapurna Yoga Trek takes you through the Annapurna region's best destinations to let you practice the art of yoga right under the shadow of the towering peaks of the Annapurna massif.

The Annapurna Yoga Trek begins with a drive to Pokhara, one of the best places in Nepal to relax and enjoy nature. Pokhara is situated beside the pristine Phewa Lake where you can retreat your mind and body in a deep meditative state by the peaceful lakeside. Pokhara also presents mesmerizing views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Peaks.

Before the start of each trekking journey, you will have time to spare for a yoga session. With clear minds and bodies, you will then begin your trekking journey, traveling from one village to the next through the Annapurna valleys. Meandering through the lush pasturelands, thick groves of rhododendron and bamboo, and chartreuse alpine woodlands, you can fully take in the beauty of nature.

Moreover, the trip is also a great way to experience the Himalayan lifestyle of the ethnic people. The terrain presents many Gompas and monasteries, chortens, and temples scattered throughout the landscape. As you continue on your trip, you will encounter many monks as well, who can teach you the art of yoga and the importance of nature, and the Himalayan ambiance in spiritual healing through meditation.

We treat each journey differently and fine-tune ourselves to the need of our clients.

Passengers must have their current passport and the necessary visas for the destination country. Also, we urge our clients to confirm that their passports are valid for at least an additional six months after the end of their trip. Travelers’ carelessness with regard to visa paperwork and passports will not hold the company responsible if they are deported or denied entry to the nation while on their trip.

Travel Insurance

It is a major requirement of Activ Retreats that you have your travel insurance covered. Medical insurance, air ambulance service, and helicopter rescue services are all required, for this is a Himalayan nation and there are major issues of unfavorable circumstances in high altitudes.

Prior to the trip, we will need a copy of your insurance documentation as evidence. If you are unable to give us with the insurance certificate for different reasons, you will be required to sign a suitable policy or agreement right away.

Flexibility

Customers must accept the risks because the company is not liable for mishaps or unforeseen circumstances in the Himalayas. Passengers must respect the authority of the trip leader, be adaptable, and be aware that changes may take place while they are on the trip. Throughout the journey, the corporation has the authority to accept or refuse customers, and those who break the law won’t get their money back. Customers must fill out a form and pay a 20% non-refundable deposit (or 50% for trips to Tibet and Bhutan) to reserve a tour; the remaining balance is required upon arrival in Kathmandu.

Payment Methods

The business provides bank transfers and credit cards (Master/Visa/American Express/Union Pay/JCB/SCT Card) as two practical and secure methods of payment. While completing the booking application form, the client must specify the payment method in full and give the company all necessary credit card information.

Why Yoga in Trek in Nepal?

Annapurna Base Camp Yoga Trek  has comprised the practice of yoga and trek together. It’s like one journey two benefits. Even though the trek has fairly been targeted to visit some incredible and awe-inspiring scenario of the Himalayan range as well as experiencing the cultural affluence of the region, Annapurna Base Camp Yoga Trek also intends to offer you some relaxing and gentle yoga practice twice in a day as its exclusive program. The day begins with some asana practice in the morning and ends with pranayama or the breathing techniques along with some meditation in the evening. In between two session of yoga, the trekkers follows the trekking route and enjoy the delightful time. In order to cope with the high altitude and cold climate, Annapurna Base Camp Yoga Trek has come up with an interesting idea of yoga with trek. During those challenging and adventurous journey to the high mountains ranges of the world, one may definitely get excited and thoroughly enjoyed. On the other, there is always a chance of being fatigued and exhausted by the everyday trek. With the sincere hope and intention, Yoga has been tried to incorporate in the trekking to address the issue of physical exhaustion and mental determination. More than anything else, the yoga has a target to explore and indulge into one’s self. The self-inquiry and world-exploration go simultaneously. Annapurna Base Camp Yoga Trek offers many relaxing and stretching asana practices to the body which has been tired. To accelerate and energize the stamina of the physical body and willpower and intension of the mental body, both asana and pranayama along with meditation can be comprised during the Annapurna Base Camp Yoga Trek.

Yoga practice has been one of the most amazing art and science practiced since thousands years. Interesting to say that the origin of Yoga is this holy Himalayan range. The first yogi of the world called Lord Shiv is believed to have abode in the Himalayan range. The same yoga which was practiced for generation to generation has been tried to combine with some explorative trek. In spite of its global expansion and recognition, Yoga still has been the part of hidden practice coming to this time in many parts of the world. One of those places is the Himalayan range of Nepal where Buddhist Yoga and many other  spiritual practices  are conducted solely for their own sake which has been confined to them only. Keeping the very fact in mind, the yoga which was incepted in this part of the world has now never been common practice and rather it has been very secret one. Considering the essentiality and importance of yoga in life for all the people and for the wellness and awareness of many trekkers and for their physical health, The Trek, Tour and Travel Nepal has designed the Annapurna Base Camp Yoga Trek to serve our valued trekkers with yoga and trek.

The most wonderful reason to practice yoga is its integral nature to our life. The existence of life is possible because of the union of vital force or the Prana Shakti with the physical body. Once the life energy leaves the physical body, there is no longer the existence of our life. The yoga teaches us to play and practice with the vital force and enjoy the beauty of life without being frustrated because of the past and being anxious for the future. Yoga is the union of body, mind, and soul at its optimum level. While trailing the risky and rocky trails of the mystic mountains of the Himalayan range of Nepal, one would definitely feel some sort of sublimity and ecstasy. Moreover, during the trek, one also may get feel sore and pain in the physical body. In Annapurna Base Camp Yoga Trek which continues for ten days one may also need some relaxation and treatment to the body. In such high altitude, there may not have lot of luxurious options to get relief from the sore of the body. There is definitely one system which can be incorporated in the range of mighty mountains i.e. yoga. Because of being the origin place of Yoga and meditation, the Himalayan range would always be welcoming and receptive to the practice of such even though it has been secret practice in this part of the world. Therefore, The Trek Tour and Travel Nepal believes yoga can be a wonderful combination to adopt with the trek in the vast and magnificent trek to the mountains of the Nepal.

The trek to Nepal in itself is an adventurous and life-exploring journey. When yoga is added in the precious recipe of tasting the delicious dishes of heavenly Himalayas and its grandeur and sumptuousness, it can be the best experience which is only possible in very few places among them Nepal can be one such place. The interrelationship of yoga with trek in the context of Nepal has not only been constrained to the practice for physical fitness. As a matter of fact, yoga while trekking in Nepal can be a spiritual journey to follow exploring the inner awareness and experiencing the elixir of Himalayas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any recommendations on which high altitude trekking insurance to buy – that would include everything we need (heli evac + covid cover etc.)? (brand/company)

I recommend using Trailfinders or another travel insurance covering helicopter evacuation in Nepal up to 6000m. Last I checked, with Trailfinders, it was £102 for 15days with a £500 excess if you were to need to use the insurance.

What kind of bags/suitcases should we bring? Shall we have a smaller backpack for the day hikes, assuming the rest of our things (incl. sleeping bags/stuff we need overnight) will be carried by the porters (and those can be in the suitcases or duffel bags)?

You will need a day back pack (ideally with waist straps) to carry what you need for the days walk – a warm layer, water, sun cream, sun hat, gloves, warm hat. For the porter to carry, if you have a large travelling backpack, that would be ideal. Otherwise, you can have suitcase and they will arrange a duffle bag for you for the porter to carry your things you need for overnight. You will have 7.5kg each to be carried with a porter. Ref sleeping bags, you can borrow from the company we work with on the ground if you do not have one, but they are not sanitized in between usages, so maybe a sleeping bag liner (cotton or silk) would be preferable.

What is the toilet situation along the trek and is there anything we should know? Is it worth investing in a urinal device for ladies, or not really required?

All guesthouses have toilets – roughly every hour or two there is a Guest House in lower altitudes – as we get into the higher altitudes – toilets are squatting toilets in Guest Houses, and Guest Houses become less frequent – on the pass day there will be places to find privacy but no guest houses until close to the end. Best to be prepared for all hygiene conditions. The urinal device not needed.

How often will there be hot showers on the way?

Hot showers are in every Guest House until higher up where a hot water bucket can be arranged – additional fees for showers / hot water buckets are not included in the price – generally fees only apply in higher altitude Guest Houses. ($1-5 per hot shower / water bucket)

If I get my period during the trek, do you have any tips on how to prepare taking this into account?

I recommend having tampons and Tampax, hand sanitiser, bag to keep waste with you, and a small pack of wipes for when you need to find a private place away from the trail – all can be easily done and not something to worry about.

What is the drinking water situation? Shall we bring a reusable water bottle, not to use the plastic ones? What about the water purification tablets – would those be useful/necessary?

Best to have a bottle with a purifier/ filter incorporated. You can get some tablets in Kathmandu if you want, but chorine tablets are not good for our microbiome so I generally try and avoid taking them were possible. You can also buy safe drinking water / boiled water along the way or water bottles – but this contributes the the plastic problem in Nepal so I would advise against it.

What’s the mobile signal and wifi availability along the trek?

Most of the places we’ll be staying over night will provide wifi at a cost ($2), but the signal is relatively bad in the mountains for UK networks. You can get a local sim card from the airport if you want.

Do you have any specific vitamins/supplements you would recommend pre- and during the trek?

Omega 3, spirulina & magnesium

How much money will I need outside of what’s included:

Good to have equivalent of £300 in Nepali cash – we will take you to a ATM in Kathmandu when you arrive. You could get away with spending less. You will need cash for any additional drinks in the mountains (eg. beer, mineral water, fizzy drinks, snacks, wifi, sometimes a shower charge, sometimes a phone charge) money for meals in the cities, entrance to cultural sites, additional activities and taxis, meals aren’t expensive but alcohol is charged closer to western prices, Nepal is a great place to buys gifts cheaply or enjoy a massage cheaply. We will all be giving tips to our local guide and our shared porter.

Going on the trip with Bella meant everything was expertly organised and you benefit from all her experience of the mountains. We stayed in the best tea houses and had an amazing guide and team of porters who I doubt we would have met if we tried to organise it ourselves. I really couldn’t recommend the trip more highly and will hopefully be back, so thank you Bella and team!

Most amazing trip - Bella and our guide and porters were fantastic. The yoga daily really helped (especially the knees!). I was a complete novice to trekking and Nepal - you didn’t disappoint. Worth every step! If you are thinking about doing this trip stop thinking and just do it!!!

I have done the Annapurna Circuit trek with Bella in spring 2023 and I can’t recommend it more - I can’t think of a better way to experience Himalayas for the first time. Bella and their team have taken all the hassle away. Daily yoga overlooking the awe inspiring mountains and truly connecting with the natural elements was a pinnacle of this experience for me - simply unforgettable.

I did the Annapurna circuit trek with Bella and I would highly recommend it to anyone! The trip was so well organised and felt more like you were doing it with a group of friends rather than an organised group. Bella chooses the best local guides and porters. The yoga session were a lovely added bonus and a great way to warm up and warm down after a day of trekking.

Duffel bag - Crystal Mountain

The trek portion of this trip is similar to the Annapurna Skyline trek – making a slow ascent from Ghandruk to the Ghorepani ridge.

Your journey will begin in Kathmandu, the ancient capital city of Nepal.   You’ll spend a day exploring the historic temples and landmarks that encompass the bustling city. A scenic flight to Pokhara will offer spectacular views of the Himalayas before starting the trek the same day.  The Annapurna Skyline trek passes through several bucolic Gurung villages. The Gurung people are one of sixty ethnic groups in Nepal and the predominant race recruited in the famous Gurkha regiment of the British and Indian army. At the beginning, the trek goes through temperate terraced rice fields. Later the trail gradually ascends to old growth and bamboo forests. The highlight of the trek is the early morning ascent up Pun Hill for an opportunity to watch the sun rise over the Annapurna range. A certified Nepali yoga instructor will conduct daily morning/evening yoga on the entire trip.

This trek will also include a post-trek massage, Nepali cooking class and more special touches.

Every day on this incredible adventure there will be opportunities to commune with your body & spirit through yoga and meditation. In Kathmandu and Pokhara, the yoga will be in places suited for a comfortable yoga class. And while on the trek, you will be treated to some of the best and most unconventional settings for yoga classes ever. Each lodge will have a different arrangement, but often those classes – weather permitting – will be outside with the spectacular Himalayas standing guard over your practice.

  • Spectacular Annapurna range as backdrop for daily yoga and meditation
  • Explore the ancient palaces and temples of Kathmandu
  • Post trek massage.
  • Cooking class and dinner at a Nepali home.

Trip Gallery

Yoga trek - Annapurna South

This trip is fully customisable for a party of two or more. Please contact us…

What is a yoga trek?

On a yoga trek, besides trekking, you would practice yoga every morning (prior to breakfast) or in the evening. The yoga sessions will be led by a certified yoga instructor. There will also be time for instructor led meditation. Besides your trekking gear, all you need to bring is comfortable yoga attire. We will provide yoga mats.

When is the best time to do this trip?

How fit do i need to be to participate on this trip.

Anyone who is reasonably fit and can hike 8 miles a day can participate in this trip. Most of the trek involves ascents and descents. That said, the better shape you are in, the more you will enjoy the trek.

It is advised that anyone with a pre-existing condition consult their doctor before signing up for a trek.

We rate this trip a 3 (moderately strenuous) on a scale of 1 (easy) to 5 (challenging).

What kind of food should I expect on this trip?

In general, expect porridge (Oatmeal), toast, eggs (any style), muesli, hash browns, sausages etc for breakfast. And sandwich, pizzas, momos, noodles (dry and with soup), rolls, fried rice, Indian bread with vegetables etc for lunch and dinner. And expect Nepali dal-bhat (rice-lentils with vegetables and/or meat) at all the lodges. Ours is an OPEN menu. Meaning we allow our clients to order anything from the lodge menu besides bottled beverages, specialty coffee and packaged snacks. We also don’t limit the number of items per meal as long as you aren’t wasteful. When choosing your trekking company, ask if meals are fixed or if you are only allowed to order one item from the menu.

What kind of gear do I need for this trip? Can I rent in Kathmandu?

Layering is key. And it’s always recommended to trek with good branded gear. A good pair of hiking boots that’s been broken in is very important. Good top and bottom base layers, a mid layer (fleece or capilene), and an outer layer (Gore-tex or other material). If you tend to get cold quickly, bring a down parka especially for the evening at the lodge. On most days, you’d be hiking in a convertible hiking pant that can be converted into shorts and one or two top layers.

if you’re trekking with Crystal Mountain Treks, we provide a sleeping bag (rated to 0 degree F or -17 degree C), duffel bags, down jacket and Steripen for water purification to our clients for no charge.

It is possible to buy cheap and relatively functional gear in Kathmandu – convertible pants, down jackets, fleece, Gore-tex jackets. But remember, you get what you pay for. Wool gloves, hats, socks are available too.

There are quite a few branded stores too. North Face, Moutain Hardwear, Marmot and Sherpa. If you’re coming from Australia or Europe, items in these shops are probably cheaper than back home. But if you’re coming from the US, it’s better to buy branded gear at home.

Can I drink tap water on this trek?

Nepali tap water is NOT safe to drink. Even if you see the locals drinking water straight from the tap, never drink water before boiling or sterilizing. Bring water purifying tablets or other water purifiers. At higher elevations during the coldest times of year the water will freeze, so you’ll need to buy boiled water from teahouses. If you plan to use a STERIPEN, bring wide mouth water bottles. You would need at least 2 one-liter water bottles for the trek. Even if you plan to bring a hydration pack, bring 1 one-liter water to sterilize the water before pouring into your hydration pack.

Crystal Mountain Treks will provide you with a Steripen to use on the trek for no charge.

Is there mobile signal on this trek? Wi-fi?

Most of the places on the main Annapurna trail now have cell coverage. But once you get off the main trail, coverage may not be available. Lodges will offer wi-fi for between $1 to $10 per hour. You can also buy a Sim card with 5GB or 10GB data for under $25: do this in Kathmandu.

How should I prepare for this trek?

The more physically fit you are, the more you will enjoy the trip. There are three aspects to training for any trek. 1) Cardiovascular Training will make your body more efficient in using oxygen. Running, walking, swimming or biking, or any combination of these are great for cardiovascular conditioning. 2) Strength Training by either using free weights or machines at the gym will build hiking strength. Walking stairs, especially with a pack will simulate the hiking environment. We also recommend practicing squats. Trekkers will encounter low hanging obstacles to duck under, and many toilets are at ground level, which requires a low squat. 3) Endurance Training is where you build endurance in the months leading up to your trek, slowly increase your length of training sessions. By the time you are 2 weeks from the scheduled trek date you should be able to ascend 3,000 ft. in a 3-4 hour period.

In the end, the more your training simulates a trek, the better off you will be. So hiking 4-5 hours outdoors, uphill and downhill, about once or twice a week in addition to other cardio vascular training at the gym or at home will greatly benefit and prepare you for the trek.

What are the toilet facilities like on the trek? Will I have a chance to take a shower?

Most tea houses have a common toilet. Some tea houses, especially those at the beginning of the trek, have en suite rooms. While squat toilets are more prevalent, newer lodges have Western style toilets.

It is possible to shower in almost all the lodges. And hot shower usually means a bucket of boiled water. Be prepared to pay anywhere from $2-$5 for this service.

Renjo La - Gokyo Lakes

Activity: Lodge Trek Destination: Everest Country: Nepal

GOKYO LAKES TREK

The Gokyo Lakes trek is a great alternative for those who wish to avoid the popular (and busy) trail to Everest Base Camp. Moreover, the views from Gokyo Ri (5,357m/17,575ft.) and Renjo La pass (5,465m /17,930ft) are arguably better than those from Kalapathar. A little above Namche, the trail to Gokyo splits from the trail to the Everest Base Camp. Head North, following the Dudh Koshi river to its source near the Ngozumpa glacier. Trekking to the Gokyo Lakes allows you to enjoy views of giants such as Everest, Cho-Oyu, Makalu, Pumori, Amadablam, Thamserku, Tarboche, Cholatse etc.

Mountain view from Renjo La pass

From Namche, head north west following the Dudh Koshi river to its source near the Gokyo Lakes.  The Gokyo Lakes trek culminates at Gokyo on the banks of the third lake. Here, we will spend three nights exploring the area. On our second day at Gokyo, hike to either Gokyo Ri or Renjo La pass for views of the lakes and the mountains (see photo above). On the third day, hike to the 5th lakes for up-close views of Cho Oyu and other mountains.

It is possible to combine trekking to the Gokyo Lake with the Everest Base Camp trek. Check out our 19-day Everest Base Camp Trek or the 15-day Everest Base Camp – fast paced trek . Also, if you have more time and wish to be more adventurous, check out the Ultimate Everest Trek . This involves crossing two passes: the Cho La pass (Everest Base Camp to Gokyo lake) and the Renjo La pass (from Gokyo lake to Thame). Furthermore, an even more physically challenging trek is the Everest Three Passes Trek. No climbing skills are required for these treks. We are also happy to customize any of these treks for you. Click on the options tab to check out more options.

ACCOMMODATION AND MEALS

The Gokyo Lakes Trek is a lodge trek . This means you will sleep and eat meals in local lodges along the trail. The quality of the lodges on this trek are quite comparable to those on the Everest Base Camp Trek. And quite a few of them have en suite rooms with hot showers. Meals are also quite varied with many options including rice with veggies, noodles, local breads etc. Read our article about food options on Everest treks.

BEST SEASON

Like most treks in Nepal, the best seasons for the trekking to the Gokyo Lakes are Spring (March-May) and Autumn (October-November). It is also possible to do this trek in Winter months of December, January and February if you do not intend to cross the passes. While it will obviously be very cold (upto -20 C/, -4 F), it will be less crowded and there aren’t as many trekkers in the area.

TREK RATING

The Gokyo Lakes trek is rated “STRENUOUS”. It is rated 4 on a rating scale from 1 (easy) to 5 (challenging). While the highest altitude reached is at Gokyo Ri (5,357 meters), the highest overnight elevation is at Gokyo Lakes (4,750m/15,500 feet) which is much lower than on the Everest Base Camp Trek. Average daily hiking times is 5 to 6 hours with one long day of around 7 hours on the day hike to the 5th lakes. It is important to prepare for any trek in Nepal. Read our advice on training for treks .

Makalu and Base Camp

Activity: Trekking Destination: Makalu Country: Nepal

MAKALU BASE CAMP TREK

On the Makalu Base Camp trek, participants get up-close with the fifth highest mountain in the world – Mt. Makalu (8,485m). Eric Shipton was the first outsider to have trekked in the region in the 1950’s. Consequently, the Shipton Pass on this trek was named after him. The first climb on Makalu was made by an American team led by Riley Keegan and Sierra Club members including Bill Long and Allen Steck. They attempted via the southeast ridge but they turned back at 23,300 ft. due to bad weather. The first ascent of Makalu was by a French expedition team on May 15, 1955.

The Makalu Base Camp Trek starts at a relatively lower elevation which is home to Rai’s, Gurung’s and Tamang people. The last permanent settlement is Tashigaon which is the home of the Sherpa people. Ascending slowly, the trek follows a trail through the beautiful Makalu Barun National Park which is home to diverse flora and fauna. Continue to trek past the Barun river along spectacular granite rocks, pastures and waterfalls.

The Makalu Base Camp trek is quickly emerging as a popular trekking destination especially among trekkers who prefer solitude. Trekking to Makalu is a great alternative to the more busier treks in the Everest and Annapurna region. And with daily flights available to Tumlingtar, the Makalu Base Camp Trek is also quite easily accessible. It has all the makings of an epic Himalayan trek including stunning snow-clad mountain scenery, high passes, intriguing mix of Nepal’s culture and soaring Himalayan peaks.

The journey begins with a 35-minute flight to Tumlingtar from where we drive to the road-head on a chartered vehicle. The lower parts of the Makalu region are quite hot and humid with lush rhododendron and oak forests, cardamom plantations. Ascend slowly over several passes and follow the Barun river valley to the Makalu Base Camp. Return to Tumlingtar is along the same trail but vistas are quite spectacular in both directions. For more information, do check out Jwalant’s blog: My Makalu Base Camp Trek

The Makalu Base Camp Trek is a combo Lodge Trek/ Camping Trek. This means you will sleep and eat meals in local lodges along the trail and also in tents where necessary. The lodges on this trek are quite basic. Meals are not as varied as on the Everest or the Annapurna treks but options do include rice with veggies, noodles, local breads etc. On this trek, we will carry some food to supplement what’s available at the local lodges and a certified trekking cook will accompany the group to prepare more varied meals. Furthermore, we will also carry tents so you may opt to sleep in tents in some of the more basic places.

Video of our monsoon trek (June) to Makalu Base Camp:

Like most treks in Nepal, the best seasons for the Makalu Base Camp trek are Spring (April-May) and Autumn (October-November).

The Makalu Base Camp trek is rated “CHALLENGING”. It is rated 5 on a rating scale from 1 (easy) to 5 (challenging). While it does NOT involve crossing 5,000 meter mountain passes, it is probably the MOST CHALLENGING trek in Nepal in terms of daily elevation gain/loss. No technical climbing experience is required but some sections of the trail (all stair-cases) are almost 50 degrees steep. The highest overnight altitude reached is at Makalu Base Camp (4,800 m/15,750ft) and the highest elevation reached is at the view point above base camp (5,300m/17,400 feet). There are two acclimatization days to allow for proper acclimatization.

Trekking to Makalu involves average daily hiking or around 6 hours with a few longer days of around 7-8 hours. Also, this is a relatively long trek in a remote area. Regardless of the rating, it is important to prepare for any trek in Nepal. Read our advice on training for treks .

The Makalu Base Camp Trek is a private trek for a minimum of two participants. We do NOT nickel-and-dime on services – inclusions and exclusions are clearly listed in cost details.

There are few words in the English language to describe the grandeur and majesty of trekking in the Annapurna region or its people. Crystal Mountain Treks’ staff made navigating this adventure not only comfortable but joyful. Morning brings breathtaking vistas and evenings bring new villages with their warm welcoming people. Then there’s the trek itself…nothing can truly capture the spirit-filled adventure that I had. The words that come flooding to mind, are these: well planned, cared for, inspiring, heart stopping, gratitude, kindness, new friendships, yaks, glorious children, unbridled laughter, “a little up, a little down”, nightly dancing and trip of a lifetime!
