Himalayan Renewal: Yoga, Sunrise & Wellness Escape

Himalayan Renewal is a premium package with premium 4-star hotels. Your quotation names the Kathmandu hotel, Hotel Barahi Kathmandu, and the premium 4-star stay in Nagarkot is confirmed at booking. The quotation also confirms the meal plan, the yoga and meditation sessions, the type and duration of the wellness treatment, and which entrance fees are included. All travel is by road, so there are no domestic flights. Anything the quotation does not list is not included.

Mountain views from Nagarkot depend on weather and visibility and are never guaranteed. October and November are usually clearest and March and April next, while the June to September monsoon often brings cloud. Sunrise meditation goes ahead either way, and on a grey morning it is simply a quiet sit rather than a view.

Nepal's currency is the Nepalese rupee. Carry some cash for small purchases, temple donations and tips, because smaller shops and stalls rarely take cards. Wi-Fi is normal in city hotels and can be slower in the hills, which some guests treat as part of the point.

Singapore passport holders can get a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. You can complete the online application on the Department of Immigration's portal before you fly and bring the barcode receipt, or fill in the form at the kiosks on arrival. You then pay the fee and take your receipt, form and passport to the immigration desk.

Nepal's embassies list the on-arrival fee as USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days and USD 125 for 90 days. A 15-day visa covers this trip. Bring the fee in clean US dollar notes, as cash is the reliable way to pay. The visa fee is not included in the tour.

Fees and entry rules can change, so check the Department of Immigration's current guidance a few weeks before travel. We will remind you when we confirm your booking.

Singapore Airlines flies nonstop between Changi and Kathmandu in about five hours. In spring 2026 it ran seven flights a week, arriving in Kathmandu in the evening and leaving late at night to land in Singapore early the next morning. Schedules change by season, so check the times for your dates before you book.

The itinerary is built around that pattern. Day one is a transfer and a quiet night, and on day five the late departure leaves room for a short optional practice and a relaxed morning. If your flight lands earlier or leaves earlier, tell us and we will reshape the first and last days rather than squeeze them.

International flights are not included in the tour. Other airlines connect Singapore and Kathmandu through regional hubs if the nonstop does not suit your dates.

The highest point on this trip is Nagarkot at about 2,175 metres. It is not a high-altitude journey, but the air is cooler and thinner than in Singapore, and the hilltop is cold before sunrise. If you have a heart, lung or joint condition, or are pregnant, check with your doctor before you travel and tell us when you book.

The yoga sessions are led by a qualified instructor and pitched at your group's level, with modifications for beginners and anyone carrying an injury. Every session is optional. They are offered as an experience to enjoy in a beautiful setting, not as therapy, and we make no claims about health benefits.

Drink bottled or filtered water, and bring any personal medication with you. Travel insurance is your responsibility and is strongly recommended for any trip abroad.

At Buddhist stupas such as Swayambhunath and Boudhanath, walk clockwise, keeping the stupa on your right, as the pilgrims do. Shoes come off before entering shrines, and covered shoulders and knees are expected at temples, so pack long trousers or a long skirt.

Pashupatinath Temple is an active Hindu site with cremation ghats on the Bagmati. Non-Hindus may visit the ghats and outer shrines but not the main sanctum. Keep a respectful distance from funeral rites, keep your voice low, and do not photograph mourners or cremations. Your guide will tell you where photography is welcome.

The monkeys at Swayambhunath are bold, so keep food out of sight and hold on to loose belongings. A small donation at a shrine is appreciated but never expected.

Your dedicated guide is with you on every touring day, and your driver handles every transfer, so you are never left to work out a route or a ticket queue. If you would rather skip a session or rest for an afternoon, say so and the day changes around you.

Before you travel, we help you plan flight timings, visa steps and what to pack, and we confirm your hotels, treatment and instructor in writing. While you are in Nepal, our Kathmandu team is your point of contact for anything your guide cannot sort out on the spot.
