Yoga, wildlife and ethnic culture

• Chitwan National park

Chitwan means “the heart of the jungle” and is one of Nepal’s fourteen national parks. It is known as one of the best places in Asia for wildlife spotting. Rhinos, deer, monkeys, hundreds of bird species and crocodiles are fairly easy to spot here, and with a bit of luck you might also see sloth bears, wild elephants, a leopard or a Bengal tiger.

• Find peace and Quiet at the Sapana Village Lodge

In Nepalese, Sapana means dream: a name that doesn’t only refer to the lodge’s dream-like location but also to the dreams it fulfils for the local inhabitants, since a part of its profits are used for realising local projects. The lodge is also the proud owner of a cute baby elephant and is simply the perfect place to fully relax. The Lodge is located at the very edge of the Chitwan nature reserve.

From the restaurants’ terrace, where you will have your breakfast or lunch, you have a wonderful view on the surroundings, that looks like a photo from some exclusive travel magazine. It is so beautiful it will make you go quiet. The yoga space is in a very quiet location overlooking the Himalayas. The contrast with the jungle, the vast plains and the river, the local inhabitants and the Himalayas makes this a real dream location.

At the Sapana village you can enjoy many activities such as Spa & massage, Nepalese cooking course, etc.

• Great experience with an elephant (e.g. an elephant jungle walk, elephant bath, etc.)

• Trekking and a trip to the Chepang hills (e.g. Chepang hills trek and waterfall)

• Enjoy yoga, meditation and breathing exercises in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
