Arrive into Kathmandu and begin with a scenic drive out of the valley towards Dhulikhel, where the landscape opens into rolling hills and distant Himalayan views.

On arrival at Dwarika's Sanctuary, settle into a space designed around quiet luxury with stone and wood villas, open skies, and a sense of calm that feels immediate. The rest of the day is at leisure, allowing you to rest, take in the surroundings, and ease into the rhythm of the retreat, accompanied by thoughtfully curated keto meals.

Wake to the stillness of the hills and begin the day with gentle yoga and pranayama, grounding breath and movement against a Himalayan backdrop. The experience continues with a Tibetan singing bowl meditation, followed by a hands-on Himalayan herbal remedy workshop that introduces traditional healing practices.

As the day unfolds, spend time walking through organic farms, engaging with local artisans through pottery and craft sessions, and participating in a spiritual blessing ceremony rooted in chants and ritual. Each experience flows naturally into the next, balanced with moments to pause, while meals continue to reflect a clean and nourishing keto approach.

The morning begins at a slower pace before setting out on a scenic hike through terraced farmlands, forested trails, and small Tamang villages, leading to Namobuddha Monastery. This sacred site, rooted in Buddhist legend, offers a quiet and reflective atmosphere shaped by prayer flags, chanting monks, and open mountain views.

After time at the monastery, continue onward to Kathmandu, where the energy shifts into something more vibrant. On arrival, check into your hotel, a comfortable base in the heart of the city that blends local character with modern ease. The rest of the day is at leisure, with the option to unwind through a spa session or simply settle into the new rhythm of Kathmandu.

Step into Bhaktapur Durbar Square, where history feels lived rather than preserved. Walk through intricately carved temples, quiet courtyards, and open squares as daily life unfolds around you.

Continue to Pottery Square, where artisans shape clay by hand and rows of earthen pots dry in the sun. You may choose to try the craft yourself, adding a more personal connection to the experience. Together, these moments offer a deeper understanding of Bhaktapur as a living cultural space. Return to Kathmandu later in the day, with time at leisure.

Begin at Kathmandu Durbar Square, where temples, courtyards, and carved facades reflect the city’s royal past. Within the complex, visit Kumari Ghar, home to the Living Goddess, a tradition that continues to hold deep cultural significance.

From here, walk through the busy lanes of Ason and Indra Chowk, where spice traders, local vendors, and long-standing family shops offer a glimpse into everyday life. Later, visit Boudhanath Stupa, where the atmosphere becomes meditative with prayer wheels, chanting monks, and pilgrims moving in quiet rhythm. A monastery visit and blessing add a meaningful close to the day before returning to your hotel.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your onward journey, carrying with you a sense of balance shaped by the mountains, the city, and the experiences along the way.
