Our Main Meditation Master Sujit Guru
Powerful meditations and other practices in a humble and beautiful location surrounded by mountains with sweeping views of the valley. A very friendly and warm team who are very accommodating, knowledgeable in what they teach and supportive of your growth. Food is delicious and healthy. Basic but comfortable accommodation (comfortable beds, private rooms, hot water, western toilets, WiFi etc). Feels more exclusive than the larger retreats, and a less rigid schedule. I have a new found sense of bliss and perspective to take back to my daily life. Thank you Sujit Guru and Dinesh 🙏🏽
In the many years that I’ve travelled this outer and a great variety of inner worlds, arriving at the Ktm School of Meditation & Retreat has been an immediate homecoming and a blessing of many sorts. It combines two of the best qualities anyone traveling to relax and learn could wish for: it is a place of truly established peace and the courses are clear, most enjoyable and effective. The staff and teachers generously offer their hospitality, their services, their knowledge and their hearts and one feels invited to land and expand. The premises are located high on a hillside overlooking Kathmandu, enjoying the fresh air and a beautiful garden. One can stay in one of the dormitories or have a private room, either on the land or in the luxurious house just below. The veggie food is most tasty, of highest quality and the atmosphere is nothing but lovely ❤️ GJ Louwe Amsterdam
Very kind, professional and supporting way of teaching meditation and yoga for different levels. The School is located outside Kathmandu on the mountain, thus the air and environment is fresh and calm with a beautiful view to the KTM Valley. Still the way there is smooth and takes about 30 mins from Thamel. Rooms are comfy, food was amazing, and really we received a very good foundation of self practise with understandable explanations and support. Everyone is kind, flexible and supportive. Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼☺️☀️
Sujit Guru
Rajeeb Jee
Rajeeb Ji started taking yoga and meditation class, along with Sujit Guru, when he was in grade 8 and his life took a twist that no 14-year-old could imagine. During those classes Rajeeb got a taste of the inner joy that was unmatched. Even though he stopped going to the Yoga school after grade 10 as he got busy with the high school, Rajeeb continued to practice yoga and meditation himself.
Dinesh Yogi
Dinesh Yogi is a young and dynamic yoga teacher, skilled meditation instructor and devoted spiritual practitioner. Dinesh Yogi’s spiritual journey began in the year 2014 when he met Sujitam Guru, who had come to Budhanilkantha for spiritual sadhana. Sujitam Guru’s determination to explore the mystery of life and to realise the bliss within had profound effect on him.
Our meditation school is nestled in the verdant foothills of the majestic Shivapuri mountain just beyond the northernmost suburb of Kathmandu valley named Budhanilkantha. This area is well-known for having been an abode of spiritual sages and mystics down through the centuries. Today the entire landscape is charged with vibrant spiritual energy which provides strong support for deeply-enriching spiritual experiences. A popular spiritual-religious tourist hub, Budhanilkantha is also well-known as one of the most livable places in Kathmandu. These days, spiritual practice has been flourishing in this place. Dozens of yoga ashrams and Buddhist monasteries are located in this area. Owing to the abundant presence of natural and spiritual energy, simply walking in and around our ashram can be a blissful experience in itself.
Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is one of the most sought-after destinations for the practice of yoga and meditation. It is an ideal place to dwell for those who wish to lead a spiritual life. It boasts of an exceptionally rich spiritual heritage and is blessed with mild weather during all seasons, making proper spiritual practice possible throughout the year. Spirituality in various forms is still kept alive in so many ashrams and monasteries which are scattered all over the valley. Many solo spiritual practitioners can be found dwelling in and around the valley as hermits and monks. Thus, Kathmandu continues to be appealing & inviting to souls thirsty of spirituality. Situated on the lap of mighty and magnificent Himalayas and surrounded on all sides by verdant mountains, the Kathmandu valley has throughout its history been home to saints and sages with highest quality of consciousness. As to legend, the Kathmandu valley was the hermitage of contemplative ascetics such as Vyasa, the writer of the Vedas; the great Buddhist monks Nagarjuna and Padma Shambhava attained to enlightenment here; and Gorakhnath, the father of Hatha Yoga, meditated here for twelve years. Thousands of other unknown sages and seers have practiced deep contemplation, composed important spiritual scriptures and invented powerful yogic practices. Many Tantric and Yogic traditions and systems of meditation originated here and later spread to other parts of the world. The vibrant luminosity of the energy field that envelopes Kathmandu is unsurpassed in its ability to connect the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness. For us, the very meaning of Kathmandu, and Nepal, is eternally alive field of pure energy, which is what we really are and which is all that really exists.
