Our 5-day introductory meditation retreat offers a practical, beginner-friendly introduction to meditation. During this retreat, you will learn and practice the fundamental techniques of meditation under the guidance of experienced spiritual instructors. The retreat takes place in a peaceful and vibrant meditation place located in Daduwa, Sailung, approximately 135 km from Kathmandu.
The purpose of this retreat is to help you understand the profound significance and transformative potential of meditation in enriching every aspect of life. Throughout the program, you will receive valuable guidance on how to integrate effective meditation practices into your daily routine. In addition to meditation sessions, participants will also learn basic energy-awakening practices, which can greatly support and deepen regular meditation practice.
Beyond the formal meditation sessions, participants will have the opportunity to visit Sailung Hill, one of the most beautiful natural destinations in Nepal. Situated on the border of Ramechhap and Dolakha districts at an altitude of 3,150 meters, Sailung is both a sacred and naturally stunning place. The name Sailung comes from the Nepali words “shai” (hundred) and “lung” (hills), referring to the hundreds of small hillocks that roll across the landscape like heavenly meadows.
The hike to Sailung also provides a meaningful opportunity to explore the culture, traditions, and daily life of rural villages in the region. Despite its remarkable beauty and spiritual significance, Sailung remains a relatively less-explored destination, making it an ideal place to experience authentic nature, culture, and serenity.
From the summit of Sailung, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Mount Everest range, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, and the Rolwaling Himalayan range, along with spectacular views of the Mahabharat range and the Terai region. The landscape becomes even more enchanting during the winter season, when snow blankets the hills for nearly two months, creating a magical setting with magnificent snow-capped mountain vistas.
During the retreat, you will also have ample time to simply be with yourself, enjoying peace, silence, and the calming energy of the surroundings. In your free time, you may read spiritual books, reflect quietly, or relax in the tranquil natural environment. The combination of powerful meditation practices and the vibrant spiritual energy of this place will help you deeply refresh and rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.
