1. Vipasana meditation :
Hike Nepal Ltd conducts the Yoga/Meditation program for
our clients who wants to be efficient and strong from
the mind in their professional field, life-style, daily
activities, by balancing in their hand/heart and head
(mind). Actually those people who are advanced in
physical facilities, most of them are far from
cultural/spiritual (inner) values. This crux of problems
needs to solve by attaining Yoga/Meditation course so as
to strengthen them in uniform direction in hand, head
and heart.
We offer three basic type of meditation
I. Vipasana meditation:
Vipassana is one of the most ancient techniques. Long
lost to people, it was rediscovered by Gautam Buddha
more than 2500 years ago. Vipassana means 'to see things
as they really are'. It is an art of living which frees
the individual from all the negativities of mind, such
as anger, greed and ignorance. It is a practice which
develops positive, creative energy for the betterment of
the individual and society.
The path (Dhamma) is a universal remedy for universal
problems and has nothing to do with any religion. It can
be practiced freely by anyone without conflict with
race, caste or religion, in any place, and at any time
and it will prove beneficial to everyone.
II. Buddhist meditation at Kopan monastery
Kopan Monastery offers short residential courses in
Buddhist meditation and practice throughout the year.
These courses give a theoretical and practical
introduction to Buddhist philosophy of the Tibetan
Mahayana Tradition. They are based on one of the
principal teachings of this tradition called 'The Graded
Path to Enlightenment' (Lam Rim).
The courses combine lectures and teachings with
meditation practice and discussion of relevant topics in
a more informal way.
A three day retreat with intensive guided meditation on
the Graded Path to Enlightenment follows the course. The
course is led by a Western nun with daily teachings from
a Tibetan Lama, combining two styles of transmission of
this precious knowledge on how to make life meaningful
and worthwhile
III. Osho meditation
Osho Tapoban lies in the western side of Kathmandu. It
is about twelve kilometers from Tribhuwan International
Airport, about ten kilometers from Kathmandu city center
and six kilometers from Balaju New Bus Park. Osho
Tapoban is the place to be, the place where one can get
inner peace, explore yourself in a meditative
environment and a place that will remain in your heart
for ever and you won't afford to miss this place.
Love is not enough, awareness is needed. If love is
there without awareness it becomes imprisonment and if
love is there with awareness it becomes a freedom.

2. Yoga :
Yoga = 'Unity', 'Oneness'. Came from the Sanskrit word "YOG"
which means "TO JOIN". To many, the thought of yoga has
an image of postures (Asanas) to develop flexibility,
general body health and awareness. This is just the
beginning. While the main point is to reach the highest
goal of the spiritual path, practicing yoga can give
benefits to everyone regardless to their spiritual aims.
The Eight Fold Path of Yoga looks deeply into the
morality of living. It consists of: Yama (self
restraints), Niyama (self observances) Asana, Pranayama
(breath techniques), Pratyhara (withdrawal of the
senses), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation)
and Samadhi (identification with pure consciousness).
There is an inter-relationship between yoga and
meditation and you can decide to focus more on either
one or both together. The Himalayas have played a big
role in self realization. It's isolation from the world
and ideal environment makes Nepal an ideal place to
practice yoga.

region is 60 km north of Kathmandu. Hindus flock to the
holy Gosaikunda Lake during the full moon in August
despite the bad weather this time of year. This region
falls in the trekking route to Langtang and tea houses
can be found all along the trek. Legend speaks of a
devout Hindu who was bathing in the lake when his brass
water vessel slipped out of his hand. It sank and
disappeared from sight. It later miraculously
re-appeared in the Khumbeshwor temple in Patan. Thus,

Nepal trekking /
travel related business was booming until 1999. After that, the
incessant conflict scared off tourists from visiting
Nepal and we are feeling the pinch of the fall in
tourist arrivals. There was a time when we recorded such
a huge flow of tourists that we used to turn back some.
As a professional Nepal tour operator we did not have sufficient
staff and equipment to handle all of them...
