Description

Step away from the noise of daily life and enter the peaceful world of Tibetan Buddhist monastic traditions. This immersive experience offers rare access to some of Nepal's most respected monasteries, where guests can learn meditation directly from resident monks while gaining insight into centuries-old spiritual practices.

Whether at the serene hilltop setting of Kopan Monastery, the sacred pilgrimage site of Namo Buddha, or the vibrant monastic community surrounding Boudhanath, participants experience authentic Buddhist teachings, meditation techniques, prayer ceremonies, and monastery life.
