The mountains are not just to climb and see, but to feel the spiritual energy. All you need to know about the Everest Yoga Trek. After the successful attempt of the Everest Expedition by Tenzing and Edmund Hillary, Everest is more popular and still the world’s best trekking destination. To see the world’s iconic peak, thousands of trekkers come to Nepal. We ask people why you guys choose the Himalayas when it’s sort of tough for those people who come from the 0 lands. They say, “ It’s nowhere else in the world, and the Himalayas have a special kind of energy.”. It’s not surprising to hear that there is energy in the Himalayas because Nepalese believe that God lives in the Himalayas. This is not the story of one person who travels with Rugged Trails Nepal; it’s the story of all of those people who come to Nepal. We have some friends who travel annually to Nepal just to stay in the Himalayas.

In Hinduism and Buddhism, practitioners believe that God lives in the Himalayas, that's why hundreds and thousands of years old temples and monasteries are built over there. In this land of saints, the Buddha has that kind of spiritual vibe around that everyone can take in positive energy. 

You are all set for the Everest Yoga Trek, but hey, you know what? With a little bit extra, you are going to experience the difference. Some people said, "If there is heavy rain and nothing to cover, stay under the big tree rather than a tiny tree," which means to say that being with the spiritual vibes gives people something good to learn, exchange, share, and care about. This is a limited group size—no more than 14—and we organise it twice a year. Scroll down to see the Yoga Trek video.

Getting Ready for the Yoga Trek to Everest Base Camp?

Our journey to Everest Base Camp starts in Kathmandu. On the first day, we gathered together for an introduction with all our team and the yoga members. Airport pickup is included, so don't worry; we just need your flight details. Welcome to a Nepalese dinner at the local restaurants with dance performances and cuisine that you may haven't tasted before. The second day is the day where we practice yoga at the ancient places with our tour experts and the yoga instructor. The pooja ceremony will be at the Pashupatinath outer surface. 

The third day officially, we will head to the Himalayas after taking a scenic flight to Lukla. Some people say it's thirling, but it's all in the head: "small flight, but it's not even worse, like people say.".

Each day, we will start with yoga and meditation up to 4300 m, and after that, we will focus on breathing practice. We will practice yoga twice a day, in the morning and evening, but after crossing 4300m in the alpine zone, it is physically not good to do hardcore poses.  The yoga instructor will decide who and what kind of stretches will be good at that elevation. Our guide will decide the places and rest of the daily plans, it's a well-organised trip to give you a lifetime memory.
