Even on the hardest of days, Yoga can take a person away from the feeling of void. In the era of pushing ourselves beyond limits, competing and moving forward leaving a lot of things behind, it’s necessary that we take a break at least once in a year or two, just to connect with our own selves, appreciate what this life has to offer, be happy with even smallest of thing, just to feel as human and live while we still have some time and age.
Well certainly, one won’t be Buddha just by practicing yoga and meditation for a few days only but you can experience the peace offered by the inner self which might have been experienced by even the god himself, while in a deep state of meditation. It’s an exaggeration only but the essence we try to convey is that, one can be in a state of detachment from the rest of the world, during a Yoga trek.
We, the team of manasukh, came up with a positive approach, to offer people of all ages and backgrounds an experience of a lifetime, combining Yoga along with long walks and never ending, priceless beautiful views of the Himalayas.

Mental Preparation
A yoga trek is as much a mental journey as it is a physical one. Consequently, mental preparation is key for a yoga trek. Practice mindfulness and meditation in the lead-up to your trek to cultivate a calm and focused mindset.
Moreover, Nepal is a beautiful land, having all the necessary natural components: Himalayas, Plains and Hills in a small area. It’s the Himalayas and sloppy hills that make Nepal ideal for Yoga Trek. In contrast, while Nepal offers serene landscape, making it suitable for yoga trek experiences, it also challenges trekkers with its rugged terrain. Not only the natural resource but the history within the land, people carrying out the traditional activity, preserving their culture for hundreds of years and the warmth they provide to visitors and each other is the significance of this land.
Therefore, Manasukh offers a unique experience, combining an adventure with self-discipline activity(Yoga, meditation, mantra chanting, sound healing) to all the explorers who wish to visit various parts of Nepal offering you a comfortable stay during your tenureship, a convenient option to travel, learn and have a break from life.
