17 DAYS OF MEDITATIVE JOURNEY ON THE AMAZIN HIMALAYAS OF NEPAL

Sound Healing Qigong Meditation

29th OCTOBER – 14th NOVEMBER 2024

We invite you to walk with us in the mountains of the Himalayas, for 11 days including one day rest to integrate and to listen to the body.

In that experience, we will suggest silence walks as it’s a deep way to connect with nature and the Self.. We will generally start each day with Qigong and breathing practice including meditation.

Sound healing will be happening in the magic spots we will discover together!!! During 2-3 days of the walk, we will have the Everest views. Trekking in the Himalayas of our uncommercial (“not touristic”) trail is considered to be demanding walks of 3 to 6 hours each day. Fiscal condition should be good (normal), walks are up and downhill.

On the 4th day of our trek, we will have a long break and reset with Everest views…continue the walks next day for 4 days more, and we will end the trek with two resting days to enjoy a mountain village and their local people with a special traditional program. After the stay at the village, we will drive back to Kathmandu Valley

We will stay 3 days at the area of the World Peace Stupa/Pagoda named Bouddhanath (Boudha). Boudha stupa is considered to be one of the most important pilgrim sites to the Tibetans. It’s a very energetic power spot, the perfect location to pray, meditate, recharge and set our greater intentions.

For the next two days, we will explore the ancient city of Kathmandu, the Hindu temples and the Pashupath River with its ancient tradition of body cremation and daily aarti (musical) ritual, on the bank of the river.

The closing puja ceremony of our program will be on the Pashupath Gath. The same evening, the 13th of November evening time, we will celebrate the end of the journey at Dwarika’s hotel with a well-known Nepalese dinner ritual. We finish our program on the 14th of November with morning mediation.

During our 17-day journey together, you have the option to signal your wish for moments of silence. Tying a green string on your hand will indicate your desire to immerse yourself in the serenity of the surroundings, allowing you to fully embrace the power of silence.
