What to Expect
Mountain stillness
The retreat centre sits above Kathmandu Valley's haze at 1,800m — where the air is clean and the noise of the city falls away completely. From the meditation terrace you see the Himalayan range stretching from Ganesh Himal to Langtang.
Tibetan Buddhist practice
Sessions draw on authentic Tibetan Buddhist meditation lineages — Shamatha (calm abiding) and Vipassana (insight) — taught accessibly for all backgrounds including complete beginners. The teaching monks have practiced for 20+ years and speak from direct experience, not theory.
Monastery immersion
A guided visit to a working Buddhist monastery gives living context to the practices you are learning. Watch morning puja ceremonies, hear monks chant in deep resonance, and ask questions about monastic life in a Q&A session arranged specifically for your group.
SASANE guides
Your SASANE guides are present throughout the retreat — not just as logistics coordinators but as companions whose own journeys give this experience its emotional depth.
Stillness Taught by Women Who Fought for Theirs
In a monastery above the clouds, your guide walks beside you through the same mountain paths where she found her own peace. Her presence — not instruction — is what makes this retreat unlike any other. SASANE's approach earned international recognition from the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance. Read more in our blog
