We are also honored to have Satchidananda (Kaanchan Adhikary) as part of our March Heart of Nepal Cultural Tour & Retreat. Satchidananda discovered the yogic path in 1998 and has since studied extensively in Bihar, India, and Australia. With deep knowledge from his years in Satyananda Yoga ashrams and his diverse training, he brings a modern, relatable perspective to yoga, enriched by his involvement in digital accessibility projects and supporting global non-profits.
Additionally, our experienced local guides will take us around Nepal's stunning temples and heritage sites, sharing their rich knowledge and stories to deepen our cultural experience.
