In 2015, while I (Yogi Rajan) was living and practicing yoga in Rishikesh, India, our home in Nepal was hit by a major earthquake. It had always been my dream to bring the ashram experience back to my village, and this difficult moment became the turning point.
We returned home and began rebuilding. In 2017, Niru Yoga Homestay welcomed its first guests. What started as a simple family homestay slowly grew into a full retreat space built with love, dedication, and community support.
Today, we continue to grow while staying rooted in warmth, authenticity, and heartfelt human connection.
Niru was born and raised in a peaceful village in Nepal, where life is guided by family, farming, and traditional values. Her deep connection to nature and community shapes everything she does.
Guests know her for her warm smile, gentle presence, and the love she pours into every meal she prepares. For Niru, hospitality is not a service — it is a way of life.
Together with Yogi Rajan, she has helped create Niru Yoga Homestay as a place where visitors feel welcomed, cared for, and truly at home.
Niru Yoga Homestay is located in Nagarkot Phedi, a peaceful green village at the base of the Nagarkot hills, about 19 km northeast of Kathmandu.
Unlike the busy hilltop viewpoint area, our location offers quiet farmland surroundings, forest walks, and open valley views. During winter, the snow-capped Himalayas can be seen from nearby viewpoints.
Kathmandu International Airport is approximately 35–60 minutes away, depending on traffic. We are happy to arrange airport pickup at any time of the day or night for our guests.
Niru Yoga Homestay grows much of its own organic vegetables in our village garden. Fresh seasonal produce, herbs, and traditional ingredients are used daily in our kitchen.
Meals are lovingly prepared by Niru using authentic Nepali recipes, offering guests healthy vegetarian dishes that nourish both body and mind.
From garden to plate, every meal reflects simplicity, care, and connection to nature.
Each day at Niru Yoga Homestay is thoughtfully designed to balance movement, nature, nourishment, and deep relaxation. Our schedule allows space for yoga, hiking, healing, and quiet personal time.

Begin the day with a 90-minute yoga and pranayama session, followed by meditation or sound healing. After breakfast, enjoy a guided forest walk or gentle village hike surrounded by fresh mountain air.

After a wholesome vegetarian lunch, enjoy free time to relax in the garden, read, journal, or unwind in the sauna and steam bath. Guests may also explore nearby temples or simply rest in peaceful surroundings.
🌙
As the sun sets, gather for an evening yoga or meditation session. Some evenings include sound healing, mantra chanting, or quiet reflection. Dinner is shared together, creating space for meaningful conversation and connection.
