Situated a mere 20 kilometers northeast of the historic Bhaktapur City, Nagarkot stands as a hidden jewel, where the tranquility of village life meets the tapestry of cultural diversity. Spanning from an altitude of 4594 feet to a lofty 6923 feet, this region offers a rare blend of serene natural beauty and rich ethnic heritage. As the third hill station within the renowned Kathmandu Valley, Nagarkot not only boasts its own enchantment but also benefits from the scenic backdrop of the Kathmandu Valley, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, nestled between the giants of China and India in Southeast Asia, is a melting pot of history and heritage. Yet, for those seeking an escape from the urban hustle and a plunge into serene existence, the Niru Yoga Homestay, with its transformative meditation, invigorating hikes, and soul-soothing sound healing, extends an irresistible invitation.
Perched on the northeastern slopes, just below the Nagarkot hill station, Niru Yoga Homestay is a haven that promises an immersive experience in the essence of Nepal. Nestled at an elevation of 4500 feet above sea level, it offers an ideal vantage point to relish panoramic vistas and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
This retreat is not solely about yoga and meditation; it beckons you to explore the bounties of nature through daily hiking escapades. From leisurely village ambles to spiritual sojourns among ancient temples, and from serene forest walks to rejuvenating encounters with waterfalls and rivers, each step connects you with both the external world and your inner self. Furthermore, in proximity to Bhaktapur, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, your expedition turns into a fusion of time-honored history and personal evolution.
For the intrepid souls seeking more than just reprieve, Niru Yoga Homestay orchestrates yoga trekking and multi-day trekking journeys. These experiences transcend the physical and urge you to traverse the landscapes of your soul while feasting your eyes on the resplendent Himalayan vistas.
In a landscape dominated by conventional hotels, the charm of the homestay is a well-kept secret. It offers more than a mere place to rest – it opens the doors to a local family’s embrace, allowing you to embrace their lifestyle, culture, and celebrations. This immersive encounter transforms your voyage from sightseeing into an enriching life experience.
As you embark on your Nepalese adventure, remember to choose between budget-conscious travel and indulgent luxury, tailored to your desires. Additionally, prioritize clean and safe dining without foregoing the joy of culinary exploration.
The Niru Yoga Retreat Center, with its authentic village life, cultural festivities, and yoga practices, presents a home that transcends borders. It extends an invitation not just to observe but to actively engage with the heart of Nepal.

Everything about our stay at the Niru Yoga Homestay exceeded my expectations.Rajan has such great energy - his yoga classes are invigorating and his sound healing skills are unmatched. His family has been in the area for generations and you can feel his deep connection to and love of his village and homeland as he takes you on some of the most beautiful hikes you’ve ever experienced.Niru is the most welcoming and generous host, she cared for all of us as if we were her own family. She’s so chipper and has a song to accompany each meal and tea time. And her cooking is unparalleled - I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much or so well in my entire life.I will be back, and I HIGHLY recommend the Niru Yoga Homestay if you’re planning on coming to the area. And if you’re not planning on it, you should be!
After a long hike I stayed at this yoga Homestay. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and activity to recover physically and mentally.I was welcomed as if I were family and I was treated like a guest. The homemade food was amazing and most of it derived from their own garden.The Yoga classes twice a day in the yoga hall (different building in the garden) with a perfectly balanced intensity.Highly recommended to stay here!
I spontaneously decided to join the yoga and meditation single-day package, and it turned out to be a truly transformative experience. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Rajan and his family, instantly making me feel at home. The lush, rolling green mountains surrounding the center provided the perfect serene and tranquil backdrop.Rajan is one of the most genuine, kind, and talented individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. His expertise in yoga is remarkable, and I had an amazing experience with him as my instructor. As a beginner, I appreciated his supportive approach, which guided me through a wonderful session.We also hiked to a local waterfall and crossed a suspension bridge, where the breathtaking views left me in awe. I've never encountered such stunning beauty in my life.Although I was there for just a day, I was delighted to have a spacious room with an ensuite. It was immaculately clean, and having access to a shower and bed was a refreshing way to cool off and rest after our hike.Niru is an outstanding cook—prepare to be well-fed! Her meals offer an authentic taste of Nepali cuisine, made with fresh ingredients grown right on the property. You can truly feel the love and care she puts into each dish.This experience allowed me to see the heart of Nepal, and I felt honored to immerse myself in the local culture. I cannot recommend Niru Yoga highly enough; you will undoubtedly leave feeling rejuvenated, both physically and mentally. Thank you for inviting me into your home and for the unforgettable experience. I will cherish it forever!
Being passionate about Yoga, I chose Nepal for my solo holiday.Searching on Instagram for #yoganepal I accidentally found this special place to start my journey (I chose the 6-day detox package) and where I also wanted to return for another 3 days and end this fabulous holiday on a high note. The guest rooms are very cute and very clean.Being low season I was the only guest and I was able to enjoy private yoga lessons with Rajan, a great yoga master, a fantastic and kind person with whom I got along very well. It's impossible to tell all the beautiful details and how much I enjoyed his lessons, I can definitely say that in these 6 days I felt very light and I understood what are the really important and necessary things to be happy. I hope to always carry all this with me.It was wonderful to trek in the surrounding area, where we can enjoy spectacular views, temples in the midst of nature, all accompanied by the sounds of animals, rain and a very emotional silence. During my stay I had the pleasure of meeting my grandparents and also many family friends, all people who fill your heart with positive energy.I want to thank this family for welcoming me like a daughter, especially his wife Niru, a very sweet person with whom I was lucky enough to spend time talking and listening to love songs and getting emotional together, I really miss singing "tea" together time" and drink your fabulous and unique black tea. Without a shadow of a doubt the best cook in all of Nepal, every day she manages to surprise you with her tasty and colorful dishes.At Niru Yoga Homestay guests can enjoy vegetarian food, a large variety of fruits and vegetables grown right in their garden full of fabulous plants.Heartfelt thanks also to daughter Nikita who dedicated her time to me to go trekking together, talk about our lives, laugh and confide in each other. A very special girl.One last thank you to Rajan for the great commitment and love he puts into his work and for always looking for improvements for his guests.It was a fantastic experience that I will always carry in my heart.I hope to be able to return to you soon.Thank youI love youJade
Rajan is a very good yoga teacher and Niru makes a great cup of tea. The room was clean and comfortable and the family were very nice. From day one only day 3 I felt a great difference in my flexibility from the Yoga.
What a special place! The family treats you like truly being a part of it. Their energy is just beautiful and you will always be welcomed with a smiling and shining face. The love and effort they put into their work and their home is so inspiring and beautiful. The yoga classes are very nice, the hikes combine beautiful walks with learning more about the history/culture/story of Nepal. The food is more than amazing and every meal is a true delight. Thank you so much for being such amazing hosts and everything you do! I really appreciate that you share your home and your love with so many people.Hopefully see you again one day!
I spent 2 weeks at Niru Yoga home stay. It was the most amazing home stay I have ever experienced. Everything was just perfect. The yoga classes, the home and the hiking area were amazing. Rajan is an amazing human being and yoga teacher and Niru is an amazing cook who make you feel like you are part of the family. I have never eaten so yummy and tasty food before. They really make you feel like you are at home. I was there during the rainy season but it was sunny almost everyday and we hiked every day. I did the Prana Shakti yoga course wich I highly recommend. I learned a lot about yoga and myself. I really highly recommend you to have this amazing experience.
