In 2015, while Yogi Rajan was living and practising yoga in Rishikesh, India, our family home in Nepal was damaged by the major earthquake. His long-held dream was to bring the peaceful ashram experience back to his village, and this difficult time became the beginning of that journey.
We returned home, rebuilt with care and welcomed our first guests in 2017. What began as a simple family homestay gradually became a peaceful yoga and hiking retreat offering yoga, pranayama, meditation, guided nature walks, sound healing and healthy vegetarian meals.
Today, Niru Yoga Homestay remains rooted in Nepali village life, warm family hospitality, personal care and a deep connection with nature inside the Kathmandu Valley.
Yogi Rajan guides yoga, pranayama, meditation, sound healing and nature walks, while Niru creates the warm family atmosphere that helps every guest feel peaceful, comfortable and cared for.
Yoga Teacher, Sound Healer & Trekking Guide
Yogi Rajan began learning yoga at age 14 and has nearly 30 years of personal practice, along with many years of teaching experience. He is the author of “Sampurna Yog,” meaning “Complete Yoga,” a Nepali yoga book covering yoga postures, pranayama, meditation, chakras, mudras, mantra, Ayurveda and sound healing. He guides each guest with personal care through yoga, meditation, sound healing and peaceful nature hikes.
