Nepal (/nəˈpɔːl/ ( listen); Nepali: नेपाल  Nepāl [neˈpal]), officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal (Nepali: सङ्घीय लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्र नेपाल Sanghiya Loktāntrik Ganatantra Nepāl), is a landlocked country in South Asia located in the Himalaya. With an estimated population of 26.4 million, it is 48th largest country by population and 93rd largest country by area. It borders China in the north and India in the south, east, and west while Bangladesh is located within only 27 km (17 mi) of its southeastern tip and Bhutan is separated from it by the Indian state of Sikkim. A Himalayan state, Nepal has a diverse geography, including fertile plains, subalpine forested hills, and eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and largest city. Nepal is a multiethnic nation with Nepali as the official language.

Sound Healing Nepal

Sound Healing Nepal is a movement, initiated by Anup Panthi, with a motive to bring wellness to people's life with the help of sound and vibration. Here my aim is not to produce singing bowls players, but to awaken the sleeping healer in you. The course primarily focuses on the awakening of esoteric healing through sounds, using external stimulation by vibration originating from nature's sound, or sound emanating from singing bowls, bells, tingsha, drum, gongs etc. Situated just 5 minutes from central lakeside, Pokhara, Sound Healing Nepal offers sound healing therapies and courses for sound enthusiasts, ranging from 1 day to 30 days. The courses are mostly arranged in a one to one discipline. We don't follow a fixed syllabus for everyone, the courses are specifically modified depending on your nature, needs and interests. Come and experience the most ancient yoga of sound (Naad yoga), learn how to heal yourself and begin your new journey as a healer.

Thank you Anup ???? You are a great teacher and a dynamic, wise soul. I am grateful to you for sharing your extensive and carefully researched knowledge ♥️ That together with your musical flair made it a truly memorable experience! What's so ironic is that I have been to such sacred, holy, spiritual places (like Tibet, Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarova, Varanasi, Rishikesh, Vrindavin, Pune, Nepal, etc) hoping to find my guru (thinking he'd be this old, grey-haired priest who started some philosophical teachings). Only to discover that a guru was not at all what I needed but instead came across a mentor in you, that's been more help on my spiritual journey than any guru or temple has been. So thank you from the bottom of my heart! Yashoda (from South Africa)

I had a private session with Kanchan ji in Kathmandu and was very happy to find and amazing teacher with a very engaging demeanor. He challenged me and was also very understanding of need for support in postures. I am hoping to continue private lessons from the states and hope to come back to him in Nepal soon to deepen my knowledge. I believe he would be helpful for beginners or more advanced yogis.

Pokhara Nepal Dance Lessons

Hi! My name is Aasha and I LOVE to dance! I am from Pokhara, Nepal and began learning to dance as an 8 year old child. Dance is very important in Nepali culture and I had lessons from age 8-15. Then I began to help teach the other younger children in my home. Now I want to share my passion for dance with people visiting Nepal, to show them my culture and teach them how to dance like real locals!

I recently completed a 3-day kayak clinic with Himalayan Kayak School and only have the best things to say. Subas is incredible at organizing a trip fully customized to your needs and helpful in crafting the perfect itinerary. We eventually landed on a 3-day trip to the Lower Seti, but there were also beginner options to go on the Trishuli River, and/or extend the trip on a moment’s notice for however long I wanted. You can tell this guy is a kayaker as much as a business owner, and he’s super knowledgeable, not pushy, and just an overall solid guy. Excellent customer service. The trip itself was incredible. I was solo, but had two guides (Krishna and Krishna) who in addition to being amazing kayakers and professional teachers, were simply fun to be around. The river is great to learn on (with a mix of easier rapids and some really fun Class 3+), and the camping experience exceeded my expectations. We had a bonfire each night and slept out in nature under just a tarp for shelter (though with more people you can also have a tent if you’d prefer). Cooking chicken on a spit over the fire, being the lone tourist in a riverside village that couldn’t have felt more authentic, and sharing a cup or two of local rice wine with the Krishnas were absolute highlights. Can’t recommend these guys enough - they’re a younger company but doing everything right!
