Nepal

 

Nepal is a small country by land mass but a country full of culture, history and extraordinary nature. Not only is it the birth place of Buddha, but according to many ancient texts, Nepal was explored by many Rishis and Yogi’s in search for samadhi amongst the Himalayas. It is said many great Gods were connected to the high energy of the lands and hence there is an indescribable force that radiates from the mountains and the soil. Adhi Yogi (Shiva) was believed to have began his pilgrimage to find the universal truth from areas such as Muktinath and Pashupatinath and many people worship this divine god. Shiva was said to have been the first Guru of Yoga. Yoga is entrenched within this culture and so can be a place of great learning.

It is a country surrounded by the highest mountains in the world, the Himalayas. Many people travel from all across the globe to trek the hidden paths, along rivers and forests in search of the secrets hidden in the depths of these mountain ranges. In Contrast, the cities are buzzing with loud sounds and warming smiles with smells of delicious foods from organically sourced vegetables.

For anyone in search for a deeper understanding and connection to life, this is the place to visit.
