Where you'll visit
Day by day
Depart early from Kathmandu on a scenic and rugged overland drive northeast through Dolakha toward the remote border settlement of Lamabagar.
Begin your uphill trek following rushing glacial streams and steep forested trails leading toward the sacred hidden valleys of Lapchi.
Reach the sacred Shepa Dorje Gonpa and the legendary meditation caves of Jetsun Milarepa. Spend the afternoon in profound silence, meditation, and exploration of the high-altitude holy site.
Dedicate the entire day to guided meditation, mantra chanting, and exploring the surrounding sacred mountain ridges with local monastic practitioners.
Begin your descent from the high-altitude sanctuary, tracing your steps back down through pristine alpine landscapes and deep river gorges.
Complete your trek back down to Lamabagar, meet your private vehicle, and drive out to Charikot or direct back toward Kathmandu.
Arrive back in Kathmandu, enjoy a day of rest, integration of your spiritual retreat, and a closing traditional dinner.
