Kathmandu Pokhara Yoga Tour in 8 Days: How It Runs and What It Costs (2027)

Last updated 16 October 2026.

Short answer: Our Kathmandu Pokhara Yoga Tour, 8 days gives you sunrise yoga at the Shanti Stupa, at Sarangkot and at Australian Camp above Pokhara, a lake walk and boat ride, a free day and the drive back to Kathmandu. It costs USD 1,075 per person on Budget, USD 1,430 on Standard and USD 2,575 on Luxury for two to four people. It suits anyone who wants mountain views, gentle walking and daily practice, with no hard trekking.

I am Shreejan. This is the slow way to see Pokhara: early yoga where the light is best, a little walking, and time to rest. Here is how it runs.

How do the eight days run?

Paragliding on day 4 is your choice and is paid separately. Our paragliding package shows the price.

What does it cost?

Prices are per person, read from our booking system on 16 October 2026. The full price list for every group size is on the trip page.

Budget gives you hotels with breakfast only and local transport. Standard gives you comfortable tourist-standard hotels with all meals and a shared tourist vehicle. Luxury gives you luxury hotels with all meals and private transport.

Included on every tier: airport pick-up and drop-off, transport between Kathmandu and Pokhara, your yoga tour guide throughout, a licensed guide on the Dhampus day, the Annapurna Conservation Area permit and TIMS card for that day, a first aid kit with an oximeter, a SIM card on arrival, luggage storage and a farewell dinner. Not included: flights, visa, insurance, paragliding, tips and personal spending.

What permits do you need?

Australian Camp and Dhampus are inside the Annapurna Conservation Area, so day 5 needs the ACAP permit (NPR 3,000, or NPR 1,000 for SAARC citizens) and a TIMS card (NPR 2,000, or NPR 1,000 for SAARC). Both are included.

When is the best time?

Do you need yoga experience?

No. Sessions suit beginners and regular practitioners. Tell us your level when you book so the sessions fit you. Bring your own mat if you like one; we can also arrange one.

Is it safe for solo women?

Yes. Many of our yoga guests travel alone, and your guide is with you every day. Read our guide for solo women in Kathmandu and Pokhara.

What insurance do you need?

The highest point is Australian Camp at 2,060 m, so a normal travel policy with medical treatment and evacuation that covers walking to 2,500 m is enough. Buy it at home before you travel. We do not recommend insurance bought in Nepal.

Questions people ask

Do Indian citizens need a visa? No. Indian citizens do not need a visa for Nepal. Our guide for travelling from India has the details.

Can I add more Pokhara days? Yes. Extra nights are priced on the trip page.

Is there a longer yoga trip? Yes, our Poon Hill yoga trek adds a short trek with sunrise at Poon Hill.

What is Sarangkot like at sunrise? Read our Sarangkot sunrise guide.

What are the booking terms?

Group size is 1 to 20 and solo travellers are welcome; a solo price covers your own room and your own guide, so it is higher per person. The deposit is 10 per cent. It is non-refundable and there is no refund if you cancel, but you can move your trip free of charge to any date within one year with at least 72 hours notice. The balance is paid when you arrive in Kathmandu, in US dollars or euros, cash or card. Card carries a 3.5 per cent bank charge and cash carries none. We do not take Nepali rupees from foreign guests.
