Student Experiences

I have been back for a day now from the retreat and I can’t stop thinking about it. The new thinks I have learned and experienced changed my view on life a lot. The meditations are nicely guided and varied.
My personal favorite was the energy class. I was always open for spirituality and energy, but I have to be honest that I never 100% believed. I am a person who has to experience it herself and this was the first time that I actually felt a difference. It made a great impression on me and I truly grateful for this.
The philosophy lessons were very interesting and it was great to be able to have discussion about topics in life.
I want to thank Sujit for his incredible wisdom and patience during my stay. Its been a pleasure learning from you. Also I want to thank Dinesh for always being there for help and conversations about topics I needed clearing about. His excitement and dedication is really inspiring to get more interested in the courses. Lastly I want to thank the incredible cook (I am very sorry I forgot her name) for the amazing food she made us everyday and the lovely smile she always had for everyone.
I truly recommend the meditation school, especially if you are excited to learn more about the philosophy of life and meditation.

I spent there 4 days meditation course as a beginner and I learned the fundamentals of meditation. The time there was an amazing experience starting from the relation with the teachers, the yoga and philosophy sessions, the food was great and the meditation lessons were something different from what I experienced in the past, very beneficial.
I hope to come back here again in the future.

Peaceful place with lovely people. I did the 50 hour Meditation TTC. After this course I feel comfortable to lead meditations and to keep on going deeper with my own practice as well.
The accommodation was very nice, clean and comfortable. The food is so tasty and super healthy. And Dinesh is a very passionate person. Very invested in what he does. Big heart and full of kindness.
Thank you 🙏

My partner and I had a wonderful time here. We came for a 3 day meditation retreat. We were looking to understand more about meditation and to learn how to make it part of our busy and stressful life. We loved it. Sujit and Dinesh are very knowledgeable teachers, we learnt so much from them and they were very inspiring. Since we arrived in the location we immediately felt more relaxed: just outside of Kathmandu, very relaxing and peaceful. The food is next level good, authentic and fresh, your body and soul feel nourished while you are there. Thank you for the great experience. We definitely recommend it.

I attended a 6-day retreat at Kathmandu Meditation School, and it was an incredible experience! The program provided a lot of valuable foundational knowledge about yoga, and the classes were both insightful and well-structured. The serene environment and the surrounding nature made the retreat even more special. The teachers were knowledgeable and supportive, helping to deepen my understanding of meditation and yoga. Overall, it was an enriching and transformative experience that I highly recommend to anyone seeking to deepen their practice in a peaceful and beautiful setting✨

If I could, I would give 6 stars with the greatest enthusiasm! This place is simply enchanting. The team that welcomes you is exceptional. Each person generously shares their knowledge, their experiences and their deep wisdom. Their human warmth is palpable, and they do everything they can to make you feel perfectly comfortable.

Dinesh, the master’s apprentice, is incredibly kind. As for Master Sujit, the master, he guides you with such expertise that he will allow you to explore aspects of yourself that you never imagined accessible. And what about the wonderful Rita, whose dishes are a real delight – balanced, healthy and tasty, they nourish both body and soul. Without forgetting the gardener (whose first name escapes me, but who is just as extraordinary), who carefully watches over this haven of peace.

Register with your eyes closed, it’s a transformative experience that will satisfy you. And I wholeheartedly hope to see you again very soon, dear friends!

Fantastic experience! No complaints whatsoever 🙂
It’s hard to convey how incredible this experience was. Sujit is a deeply focused and serious master, and I felt lucky every day to be studying and practicing under him. Dinesh is the kindest yoga teacher, and he pushed me to do more than I though I was capable of without ever making me feel uncomfortable. I’m so thankful for this experience and hope to return one day.

I highly recommend this retreat. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced practitioner, you can learn a lot here. I really enjoyed going deeper in my practice and I hope to be back soon. Thank you very much to all the teachers.

I had a very fruitful 2 days time and a wonderful experience on the meditation school. Had a short but effective course as beginner to learn Mediation and Yoga from an expert guru. Had a refreshing mood after completion of the course. Highly recommend to friends, family and other enthusiast.

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. The veggie food is most tasty, of highest quality and the atmosphere is nothing but lovely.

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

My experience in Kathmandu Meditation School has been amazing! I would say it has changed my life. Here I could learn a lot about Meditation, Yoga and theory. Btw, the food cannot be better – healthy and super tasty!

Thanks Sujit, Dinesh and Urmila for taking care of me as if I were family.

I highly recommend spending time here, Dinesh and Sujit are truly passionate and embody what they teach. I’m grateful for their kindness and knowledge ! It was very useful to learn meditation techniques and understand the philosophy and practices of meditation. After 5 days I can say I’ve got better insights and feel more confident in my practice going home. Also, the place is fantastic, at the edge of the national park, with wildlife all around. Thank you so much for an unforgettable retreat, and sharing your wisdom with me

I’m so thankful I found this place and really enjoyed my 5-day retreat. I would highly recommend for those interested in exploring meditation and yoga. Experience level does not matter as there’s something new for everyone to learn.

I spent 6 days at the Kathmandu Meditation School for a meditation retreat. The teachers there are exceptionally knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive, providing invaluable guidance in my personal life.They provide vegetarian food which is delicious and super fresh , healthy. I highly recommend to visit this meditation place.

Beautiful, peaceful and energetic place to stay for relaxing and learning meditation and yoga techniques. Lovely, kind and friendly Sujit Guru and Dinesh will guide you and answer every question with their enormous knowledge. It’s really interesting, spend the most time you can to get the most.

Thank you so much guys.

I did whole day retreat at Kathmandu meditation school and it was amazing, I learnt so much and truly felt myself unwind, away from the business of Kathmandu this is a perfect way to spend time.

Oh my god, I love this place so much! I came for the 100-hour meditation teacher training and loved it so much that I stayed longer to complete the three-week, 150-hour course. Before I came, I couldn’t sit without music or a guide for very long at all, but now I can sit in silence for an hour, which I find so freeing. I’m also much better at listening to and accepting whatever is going on in my body or emotions without trying to ignore or push away what is unpleasant. Overall, I feel stronger and more grounded in myself. And I can guide meditation too! Everyone I’ve met here has been so beautiful, the teachers are amazing, and I’ve made friends I hope to keep forever. The chef, Rita, is delightful and cooks such fresh, delicious food. I felt so at home. The location by the national park is buzzing with life—so many butterflies, and I even saw a baboon!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Kathmandu Meditation Home and the people there who made it feel like home again and again over the past 4.5 months (I often returned here during my time in Nepal). I found the school for the first time in August- hoping to find spiritual guidance and deepen into my meditation practice in a serene, welcoming atmosphere. This center was that and so much more. The teachings and guidance I received from Master Ji (Sujit) were more than I could have imagined. When it comes to finding a spiritual teacher, finding one who truly embodies the wisdom they’re sharing is often rare, but so paramount. Sujit is the living, breathing wisdom that he shares. He inspired me to engage in my self-practice to a degree that I couldn’t have understood previously. He showed me the importance of self-observation and discipline along the path- a path which leads toward liberation where the simple cravings and struggles dissipate when you learn to sit and observe them long enough. He encourages his students through his own example- and that, to me, is the mark of an incredible teacher. His teachings on spiritual philosophy were key for me- and his ability to teach complex, classical texts and ideas and synthesize their wisdom for his students, often speaking straight from his heart, was beautiful and inspiring to say the least. Thank you, dear Sujit.

Brother Dinesh was always welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had what we needed and that our stay was comfortable. He led our group in classical Hatha yoga practices- straight from the original texts, meditation practices, and at times, spiritual philosophy. Dinesh is a serious practitioner who continues to refine his own practice and cater his teaching to the needs of his students. He makes himself available for meals and to answer the questions of his students whenever needed. Thank you, bai.

The school and retreat center would not be complete without Didi Rita (Auntie) and Uncle. What truly makes this place feel like a home away from home is the care of Auntie and Uncle. Auntie is an INCREDIBLE chef who prepares meals with love and takes pride in serving delicious, healthy, vegetarian food. She is loving and cares for guests as if they were family- especially if you take interest in connecting with her a bit. I used my broken Nepali and she used the English she had- but mainly we communicated from our hearts- which surpasses any linguistic ability. Uncle often takes a background role, but he is there to maintain the facilities, run errands, help guests with bags, and always with a loving smile to greet you. Without the need for language, you can see into this man’s soul, and you know he has a beautiful heart.

After several programs and returning month after month, I completed 300 hours of meditation teacher training, 50 hours restorative yoga teacher training & singing bowls (with their sister school onsite PRAGYA Yoga), and an internship to practice teaching my new skills and help develop curriculum for the courses (I have 15 years of experience in curriculum and education). It was a beautiful and supportive way to gain confidence and learn from incredibly knowledgeable teachers.

So, if you’re considering a retreat or a training here, I’d say you’re one of the lucky ones. You’ve found a hidden gem-Congratulations. Allow yourself patience as the teachings sink into your bones and transform your being. Good luck to you. Tashi Delek. 🙏

I returned to Kathmandu Meditation Home for a second time after my first visit in 2023 as felt a strong need to come back! This time I attended a 3-week meditation teacher training course during October (Very pleased to be accredited!)

Sujit and Dinesh are true masters – knowledgeable, relaxed, and deeply skilled. The food, prepared by the wonderful Didi, is wholesome, organic, and locally sourced. Accommodation is clean and lovely – I had the pleasure of an ensuite and amazing views of Kathmandu. The people you meet here are amazing too. But these aren’t the main reasons to come here!

If you want to explore the roots of yoga and meditation, the philosophy classes are incredibly thought-provoking and fascinating. The course is intensive, with early wake-ups, set meal times, and structured classes but in the best way. I arrived 18 days ago as a smoker and have since quit! The setting and location is picturesque. There are 150 different species of birds in the Himalayas and you are visited by them every day. But the true jewels are in the practices themselves, in feeling different in yourself – more grounded, more able to face life and all its challenges, more curious about the world, the universe and what lies beyond. Honestly it’s hard to put it all into words! What you’ll find is what you pick up here will stick with you for good. There’s a reason this school has been so highly rated. ✨

With heartfelt thanks to the teachers, students, groundskeeper, and chef. 🙏🏻❤️

The Kathmandu Meditation School is the greatest place in the world. What makes it so special is the quality of the people – they are so kind and smart, and do everything they can so that you have a comfortable experience, yet learn and grow in every way possible. The food is absolutely delicious, the facilities are very clean and nice, and the offerings are excellent. As there are many centers like this in Nepal, you should feel confident that this is the best one to attend. Don’t think twice, book it!

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!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼☺️☀️
