A real ashram, not a yoga studio

The whole practice not just the postures

The whole practice

Bodhidham is a residential ashram, not a drop-in studio, and not a wellness hotel. You stay on the grounds in Ghachowk village, eat three vegetarian meals from the ashram's own farm, and sleep in a shared or private room. Pickup from Pokhara is included, so the practical side is handled before you arrive.

Days follow a steady rhythm, often starting around 5:30, sessions through the day, and mantra and meditation in the evening. How full it feels depends on the retreat you choose; a two-night reset and a month-long immersion aren't the same.

Swami Ananda and Deepika are great Yogis and excellent hosts, radiating love and kindness. They helped us with every request we had and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant. The yoga is profound, authentic and deeply spiritual. A true blessing, being able to stay at Bodhidham and experience their teachings. 🙏🕊️🦋🧘‍♀️

Swami Ananda is the most helpful person I have ever met. He has a very good knowledge of yoga. He provided me with free accommodation and respected me. I am blessed to have met him and wish him success. I recommend him to anybody who wants to become a yoga teacher.- Jogi Bishwanath

Excellent service and humble staff, I booked detox yoga retreat program and it was so amazing. Cannot express my feeling in word. This is my suggestion for everyone at least should try once, it is actually life changing. My heartiest thanks to bodhidham family for pampering and all the efforts they made for me.🙏🏻🌺

I'm going to Bodhidham to complete my 200-hour yoga training. Whether you're looking for a room for the night, a yoga class, or a training program, don't hesitate. A great team, attentive, and eager to offer and share the best possible experience. Quality is their motto. You'll be accompanied for three weeks by two passionate yogis who strive to share their knowledge and kindness. A very comfortable private room, with vegetarian cuisine prepared in-house with local and organic products. Many shared moments. See you soon!

This was a life changing experience to learn and practice yoga on all levels in such a beautiful and authentic setting. The instructors and guides were amazing. Always with kindness and confidence, they led me through my trip in Pokhara. I received constant support and spiritual guidance throughout my entire stay, which made me grow as a person. The food was delicious and everything was made with thought and love. Love and blessings to the beautiful people at Bodhiham Yoga Ashram! I will see you again soon 💚🙏🏻

While staying in Pokhara the Swami invited us to a wonderful ritual, that happend on full moon in Mai 2024. Because of his great energy we took a Yoga class the next day. His teaching was really high quality and thanks to him we started the day full of great energy. We came back to meditate in the evening and I really wished we could stay longer. Highly recommend a visit. It' s really worth it.

Questions, answered

Before you book

There are a lot of retreats listed which one should I choose?+
It depends on how long you have and what you're after. Short stays of 2 to 4 nights, like the Home Stay or Sound Healing retreats, suit a first taste of ashram life or a quick reset. Week-long retreats such as Standard, Mountain View, Detox, Ayurveda, Mantra and Silence go deeper into one theme. The long-term retreat of 1 to 3 months is for full immersion. If you're unsure, message us with your background and what's drawing you here, and we'll point you to a couple that fit.
Do I need yoga experience to join a retreat?+
Most of our retreats are open to all levels, beginners included, and the teachers adapt the practice to who's in the group. A few are pitched at experienced practitioners, including the Intense Yogasana & Meditation Retreat and the 300-hour training. If you're not sure where you sit, describe your experience when you enquire and we'll tell you honestly whether a retreat is a good match.
What does the price include, and what does "all-inclusive" actually cover?+
The price covers your room, three vegetarian meals a day, every session, course materials, and pickup from Pokhara. It does not cover international flights or your Nepal visa, which you arrange yourself. So "all-inclusive" means everything once you're with us, not literally every cost of the trip.
What's the difference between a shared and a private room?+
Each retreat lists two prices. A shared room means you share with another guest, or on some retreats it's a couple rate. A private room is your own, at a higher price. Meals, sessions, and pickup are identical either way. The only difference is sleeping space and cost.
Where is the ashram, and will I be picked up?+
The ashram is in Ghachowk village, about 30 minutes from Pokhara, at 1,320 m. It's a genuine village setting, not central Pokhara. Free pickup is included. Send us your arrival date, time, and point of arrival (airport, bus park, or Lakeside) and we'll collect you.
How do I book, and what if I need to cancel?+
Booking is done directly with us over WhatsApp or the inquiry form. We'll confirm your dates and a clear price, usually with a deposit to hold your place. Cancellation and refund terms are set out on our Booking & Refund Policy page, so please read it before you pay, or ask us and we'll walk you through it.
