An awesome experience.
We enjoyed everything: the yoga classes, the meditation, the food and above all the wonderful people we met there. PK and his family did everything to make us feel home. Moreover the place has a very nice view to the lake and it is peaceful, perfect to disconnect from the world. Thanks to PK, Shree, Tara, Siru and Shikshy for this incredible experience!

Schöne Zeit im Yoga-Retreat
Alles war super - die guten Yogastunden, die entspannenden Meditationen, die herzlichen Menschen, die schöne Location, das leckere Essen... :-)

When I first entered this lovely place, PK & Srijana said ”welcome home” to me.
After spending a few days at Tribrikram Yoga retreat I’ve learned lifelong lessons that I will forever cherish and pass on.
The way PK & Srijana really does everything with heart and passion is truly remarkable. In this place you will be seen, you will develop and you will become better in every single way. The yoga lessons are wonderful, you really get challenged in the best way, you will very quickly feel the results due to PK being a wonderful yoga teacher.
You will become aware of your limits, and always get better, with each and every lesson.
And lets not forget to mention the ayurvedic massage. I am a massage person, believe me, I’ve done massages over a thousand times I believe. Never have I ever got a massage done so spiritualy and with heart. Srijanna is a wonderful massage therapist that really works with heart. The massage was not only a massage, it was a warming and mediatative journey that truly heals.
These are just a few things that was amazing, if I were to write all the good things with this place, this review would become a book.
The food? Amazing
The environment? Absolutely wonderful
The rooms? So clean & comfortable
The dedication? So inspirational
The ambiance and warmth? At maximum level.
Will I come back? Its a question of when, not if.
PK can arrange all activities you want to do, just ask and he will make it as simple and convenient as it can be.
Thank u

Best retreat ever!
It was one of the best retreats i’ve ever had. Truly amazing and lovely! Can’t recommend enough! PK and Siru really went above and beyond. I’m a beginner level but PK made sure that I could follow the others. Whether you are beginner or advanced, this retreat is something you can’t miss. The morning hikes was lovely, the yoga was great, the food was delicious, my room absolutely clean, and the massage was superb! It was much needed, massively relaxing, and I learnt loads too, as well as it being tons of fun. Thank you!! dhanyavaad :)

Amazing experience in this place
I highly recommend this place. I had a wonderful staying.
The place is in the height of Pokhara : in the nature with the direct view on the lake. It combines authenticity and confort. The food is great. And you can easily access all the activities of Pokhara (10 minutes walk to the Annapurna cable car).
More important , the guest are just amazing. They make you feel a part of the family ; you really feel like home.
And last but not least, the yoga lessons are fantastic. The professors are professional and passionate buy what they do.
This place has more than a great location , food or yoga : it has a soul.
I will come back for sure.

Peaceful yoga centre
I love their food, yoga classes and candle light meditation. Morning walk was awesome with Pk. Nepalese dancing session with Suru was a lot of fun. Ayurvedic massage was good and it was deep tissue massage. I love the palce❤️

Well worth it
I’d recommend this retreat to anyone.
My partner and I had very little yoga experience but that wasn’t a problem, as everything was tailored for the individual’s ability (there were some people there too who were great at yoga and also got a lot from it.)
The classes were great, as well as the morning walks, massages, dancing, and candle meditation sessions, but our favourite part of the whole experience was the atmosphere at Tri Bikram. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our host family, as well as the other participants, sitting in their warm garden under the shade of a big tree, chatting and drinking tea.
The food was also great. The accommodation and facilities were basic, but have everything you would need.
When we look back on our time in Nepal, this will stand out as a real highlight.

Stage enrichissant, chaleureux, confortable.
Découverte du Hathayoga avec cette session de 5j/4nuits. Débutante, 64 ans, une parenthèse parfaite. Merci à PK pour son enseignement totalement adapté à mon niveau, avec des discussions et informations tellement claires et ancrées dans la vie de tous les jours. Il donne les clés pour vivre le yoga au quotidien et le vivre encore mieux. De l'humanité, un charisme chaleureux, voilà la couleur de mon séjour à Tri Bikram.
La femme de PK est elle aussi un sourire et cuisine des repas délicieux. Merci.
La chambre et les sanitaires sont impeccables avec une literie confortable. Un plus appréciable.
Merci à toute la famille.
Bref : j'espère pouvoir revenir à Tri Bikram... A bientôt !

Best Yoga Place for Body Mind & Spirit
The combination of including all aspects of Yoga involving Body Mind & Spirit in such a personal absorbing way even for myself at my age by such a great teacher and family is the best!🙏❤️

Thanks for a transformative experience
How welcoming and accomodating everyone involved in the program was. For someone who was beginning yoga, the attention given to me, difficulty and instruction was amazing. The experience was transformative and I hope to come back some day!

Increíble ! Muy recomendable si vas a Pokhara
La experiencia en el retiro de yoga fue increíble. PK y su familia nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos y nos hicieron sentir parte de la familia.
Se siente mucha paz y serenidad allí. Las clases de yoga y meditación son muy guays. Lo recomiendo 100%

Incredible opportunity for growth and fun
I enjoyed every bit of this experience: the wisdom of the instructors which taught me how yoga goes beyond the physical- i am a confident yogi now with so much I can apply to my everyday practice; fresh, well seasoned whole food; the site was surrounded by so much natural beauty but town was still accessible if needed; and beyond the yoga classes, the people were the best part of this. The warmth, kindness and support of the founder and his family and team made this a fun and incredible experience that will stay in my spirit for life!

A beautiful yoga retreat that stays with you
My partner and I absolutely loved the retreat. Everything was wonderful, the family, the food, the challenging and varied yoga classes, the beautiful meditations and mornings walks created the most lovely layout to each day. A very relaxing and warm environment. I would 100 percent recommend!! We hope to come back one day. We have been so inspired to implement some of your teaching into our daily lives ! Thank you again Tri-Bikram yoga family!!

Not only a yoga experience but a human experience
The hosts give you a warm welcome, they are so friendly that they treat you like a family member. The view from the rooms is astonishing, from your room you can see the Shova temple, the phewa lake and the peace pagoda.
The yoga courses are good and adapted to your level.

A moment out of time 🤍
Tri Bikram yoga retreat was part of our best experiences in Nepal… everything was just perfect.
The level of yoga was just right and very varied, all 3 teachers encourage you and make you want to go further. Every single class was different and thanks to that, we never got bored🙏🏻
The program was also perfect, having an energizing morning walk helps you connect with other guests, wake up your body properly and enjoy the GORGEOUS views! Even that is very peaceful. The 3 yoga classes a day and 3 meditation sessions were just right, and the free time is also very nice me-time.
The facilities were great and probably the cleanest I’ve seen in Nepal.
The food… i cannot emphasize how great the food was!!! From breakfast, to lunch to dinner and the teas… I really loved everything.
Siru has a magical smile and magical hands: she makes amazing food, gives a great ayurvedico massage and dances beautifully.
I really have nothing bad to say about this retreat, I loved every part of it and just found out it was #1 in Pokhara, I understand why.
We learned a lot and wished we could have stayed longer for sure 😍 It was a moment out of time.
Hope to come back and see our new family ❤️

A new home in Nepal
I enjoyed every minute from the warm welcome on day one to the lovely farewell on day 4. PK and his family are so nice and caring. The yoga classes were great and the food amazing. The accommodation is very cozy and in a beautiful location. I enjoyed the yoga classes, the shared meals, the herbal teas, the Nepalese dance classes, the aryuvedic massage, the candle light meditation and the morning walks. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back sometime.

Very well-organized retreat!
Very peaceful place with a family-friendly vibe and plentiful smiles on the faces of the family who runs it. The yoga and meditation is accesible for beginners, but challenging enough for the more experienced and given by knowledgeable teachers. The freshly cooked meals and herbal tea are a real treat. Thank you PK & family!

Lovely relaxing retreat
Highly recommend. You are made to feel at home completely and PK and the whole family will do anything they can to make your stay as good as possible. Food is delicious. And they even design the classes to help you carry on with your own yoga practice after you leave.

Déconnexion totale
Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel au sein de la famille de PK. Quelques jours suffisent pour se sentir totalement déconnectés et on en sort ressourcés !
Les cours de yoga sont qualitatifs, PK est bienveillant et nous aide à aller plus loin dans la pratique. La nourriture est équilibrée et délicieuse. Le lieu est à l’écart de la vie sociale de Pokhara. Je recommande, allez y les yeux fermés, excellent rapport qualité prix également

Wonderful place with wonderful people!
I had such an amazing time during my stay at the retreat! The owners, PK & Seru, are such a lovely couple. They made me feel at home from the beginning. For me the yoga was a bit tough, since I am a beginner. But the location, the other guests, the amount of sleep I got, the shower and the food: it was so amazing! I would totally recommend this place to other people. It’s a peaceful and quiet place and it really makes you feel like you’re on a holiday! And again, PK & Seru are so so so lovely! The food was incredible and we always had more than enough! Seru is an excellent cook!

Value for money
The Ayurvedic massage was the best I had ever had. Yoga classes were varied and the teachers paid attention to individual needs. Alignment was instructed well. After the three days mini retreat my body felt so much better, my lower back pain was gone. The room was simple but very clean and there was hot water for taking showers. I liked the informal atmosphere. I had some nice conversations with PK, he has such an open heart! From the location there is a view over the lake.

Amazing experience!
I loved everything about this retreat, from the scheduling to the food to the instruction. Each day begins with a (quite challenging!) nature walk before a yoga practice, and then there is more yoga later on in the day. PK is an amazing instructor who is gentle with modifications but is also able to make you push yourself beyond what you ever thought was possible! The food is all prepared lovingly by Siru and it is some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had! Siru is also trained in Ayurvedic massage and I would definitely recommend you get one - it was beautiful! The rooms are spacious and airy, and the hot showers are a blessing. I would recommend this retreat to anyone, beginner or advanced, and I already want to return in the future.

Absolutely fantastic experience
The most amazing yoga retreat. A well rounded spiritual experience surrounded by lovely people who are there for you to help you through your journey.
I went there for a 5 day yoga retreat and straight away felt like at home. Everyone was very kind and helpful, the food was delicious and they do accommodate to whatever diet you follow (I am vegan and had no issue getting vegan meals and snacks ). The rooms are clean and tidy, same as bathrooms.
Amazing views of the lake and the mountains. A close walk to the Pokhara town and yet peaceful and quiet.
Plenty of additional attractions like paragliding (strongly recommend!), massages or hikes around, which can all be arranged for you so no need to worry about anything yourself. Anything else you might need, like a cab to the airport or help with shopping, you can be sure you’ll get the help!
If (when) I’m back in Pokhara I will definitely come here again and so should you!
Thank you so much for everything! Namaste 🙏

Great experience ☀️😊🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your great hospitality and welcoming me as a part your very sweet family💓✨
I love the intense yoga classes three times per day, the beautiful morning walks along the lake, all of your delicious Nepalese food (3 per day), and also the room attached with a clean bathroom with hot shower (24h) & toilet paper.
I also love the super sweet garden that I can lay down (and take a nap) under beautiful sunshine☀️
If you are looking for a place to relax, or take a break from busy common life, or just treat yourself, this place is the best place.
They would welcome you as a part of their family, and will have a wonderful experience at Tri-Bikram Hatha Yoga Retreat with PK and his lovely family🧘🏻♀️💖

Enjoyable week with PK in Pokhara
I booked this retreat the day before I arrived from Kathmandu. PK was responsive and suggested arrival options via chat. I was met promptly at the airport by PK with a taxi that delivered me to the retreat. I felt immediately comfortable with tea, popcorn, and conversation. PK, his wife, and their second yoga teacher were accommodating and respectful throughout my five days/4 night stay. It was December, and they ensured I had warm bedding and a hot water shower. PK and his family have built a beautiful retreat in this location. The food was delicious, we got three meals daily, and I was asked about my preferences and always offered more. The day started with a hike followed by three yoga classes/meditation and daily massages professionally provided by PK's wife. At the end of each day, I was sufficiently relaxed and slept well in my room.
Downtime in the sun allowed for socializing with the other solo guests and created a community that added to the positive experience. Yoga was a challenge, and PK asked what I wanted to gain on the first day. He was an experienced yoga teacher but shared his philosophy that we are beginning our yoga practice and can continually improveThishis optimistic philosophy was encouraging, and he worked with each class to provide poses and asanas that challenged us. PK and the second teacher professionally asked if they could correct our postures and did so tenderly and with care. I recommend others join this retreat and consider returning.

Perfect hideout for yoga and meditation
I absolutely enjoyed my time here. From the start PK and his family were very kind and welcoming. I stayed 3 days 2 nights, but could have stayed longer.
The food was maybe the best I've had in Nepal, just like the rooms which had a nice bed and a proper warm shower. Just what you need after the intens yoga sessions. I was a complete beginner but could get along well, thanks to PK's teaching skills.
The meditation sessions and massage were great, contributing to the nice and chilled state I was in when I was there. Definitely recommend to anyone!

Wonderful experience
Thanks to Pk and his lovely family I had an amazing time at the yoga centre and I’m very thankful for their hospitality and kindness. The location is simply wonderful, in a very relaxed setting with stunning views across the lake. Nice nature walks, good food, everything is done with lots of care and love. I never practiced yoga before but this wasn’t a problem at all, as the group was a nice mix of beginners and experienced people. I can highly recommend this place and would love to come back to the yoga centre myself some day. Thank you for this wonderful introduction to yoga, an exciting new journey for me!

Amazing
A very pitoresque retreat run by a lovely couple. You get a lot of yoga everyday for a very good price. The food is amazing. You will feel stronger and healthier after this retreat!
The yoga is focused on pushing yourself a bit more so you will book good results in just a few days. I did have sore muscles after, do not expect to have lazy days. For me it was a perfect combination of relaxing and working out 😁

Can’t Recommend Enough
I find it difficult to put into words just how amazing my experience at Tri-bikram has been, I came for 2 nights and stayed for a week, arrived as a guest and left as family. From first stepping foot through the gate you are greeted so warmly that you immediately feel a sense of calm & serenity, which only increases as you look out over the beautiful lake view surrounding the retreat.
PK’s wife Siru cooks some of the best food I’ve had in Nepal and if you’re willing is more than happy to show you how! She is also a great dancer and, along with daughter Shiksha, can definitely teach you a move or two! The yoga itself is great value for money and I definitely felt myself improve vastly in such a short space of time. That was largely due to PK who is a wonderful teacher, always pushing you to excel and challenge yourself and showering you with positive affirmations when you do “wonderfully well.”
The rooms are clean & spacious, with very comfy mattresses and strong wifi connection and you’re positioned just enough outside the busy city so it feels like a tranquil oasis, but close enough that you could walk in in 30mins. I also took part in the early morning hikes which were a great way to kickstart the day, and the full body massage which was by far the best I’ve had in Nepal.
Overall I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough, if you’re looking for a beautifully positioned homestay with top quality yoga, food company then without a doubt this is the place for you!

Amazing experience and incredible value
We had a wonderful time with PK and his family. We did the 3 day, 2 night with massage and it was an incredible reset much needed!
The food was wonderful, honestly some of the best I have had in Nepal and worth the visit alone!
The massage also was the best I have had. Highly recommended!
The yoga was challenging but PK pushed everyone to their individual limits. It has reignited my passion for yoga which I am grateful for.
We also did some wonderful early morning walks to start the day.
All in all I would highly recommend this retreat for great family atmosphere, high quality and incredible value for money! It’s the best choice.
