The ancient practice of Yoga, a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, includes breath control, meditation, and adopting specific body postures, which is presently practiced for health and relaxation throughout the world. Yoga comes from Sanskrit yog, meaning spirit and physical body together, bringing individual awareness or soul with the universal consciousness or spirit. Every day, we will be practicing yoga in the morning and evening and in the afternoon exploring the spiritual heritage sites, cultures, food, and the Himalayan views.

Guided Nepal Yoga Tour
When you arrive in Nepal, it just seems that there is a distinct air of spirituality that abounds within the air. It is, after all, the land of god and goddesses. Travellers describe Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan as the towns of temples and goddesses. There seem to be more gods than humans here. Ancient temple structures that inspire faith in anyone fortunate enough to walk its premises still dominate these locations despite modernization creeping into them and concrete jungles sprouting up in sprawling patches all over these cities. There was a saying that even if you are drunk in these cities, you will knock on the temples or into a statue.
Rugged Trails Nepal Yoga and Meditation Retreat Tour Nepal starts from Kathmandu with spiritual places.
The Origin of Yoga
In the yogic culture, Shiva is revered as the first guru, or the Adi Guru. He is also known as the Adi Yogi or the first Yogi. He was said to become ecstatic, dancing all over the mountains or he would sit absolutely still during a state of enlightenment. Without knowing Lord Shiva and visiting the Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu, yoga and Meditation tour will not be complete. At the riverbank in Pashupatinath, we will practice yoga and meditation with the Yogi. You will feel the vibrant energy of this place, In the evening, we will attend Aarti Pooja at Pashupatinath Temple. Sadly, foreigners are not allowed to go inside the Main temple, but you can feel the spiritual vibration around the Land.
During Lord Shiva's mad bouts of dancing, all the other gods were envious because he was having such an amazing time on the earthly plane. Suddenly, the gods realised that Heaven wasn't such a cool place after all and that they were missing out, so they decided to get Shiva to let them in on his secret. When they finally got him to teach them his methods, Shiva expounded various types of yogas movements depending upon the level of preparedness of the person who was sitting in front of him.
