Arrival and briefing about the trip. After prepare for a rather long drive to Dhunche, which will take the better part of around eight hours. Rest here, before starting your trek the day after.

Day 2: Dhunche - Sing Gompa.
After a short hike to get out of the village of Dhunche, stop at a secluded spot to conduct out first Yoga stretching, which begins with the Surya Namaskar. Thereafter stretch your bodies before continuing on the trek. Steadily climb to Sing Gompa where you again spend sometime in meditation in the village.

Day 3: Sing Gompa - Gosainkunda.
Start trekking after breakfast, and break for a small session of yoga along the way, before continuing on to the pristine lake of Gosainkunda. This will be a highlight as you conduct a meditation session in this holy location, also the abode of the ultimate yogi, Lord Shiva.

Day 4: Gosainkunda.
Spend an extra day here, to savor in the lake dedicated to Shiva, the greatest yogi.

Day 5: Gosainkunda - Ghopte.
Today you cross the high pass at 4600m and drop down on your way back to Kathmandu.

Day 6: Ghopte - Kutumsang.
Continuing on your way to Kathmandu today and will stay overnight in the lovely little village of Kutumsang

Day 7: Kutumsang - Chisopani.
Chisopani means cold water, and literally, this is just above the ridge of the hills surrounding Kathmandu, but since it faces north, can feel the cold from the mountains. This is your last mountain village before coming back to Kathmandu.

Day 8: Chisopani - Kathmandu.
A good morning’s yoga before you do a final trek that will bring you down to the eastern village of Sundarijal via a National Park where awaiting vehicles will bring you back to Kathmandu.
