Retreat location
In 2019 Tri-Bikram Yoga moved their location from the busier Pokhara Central Lakeside to a calm and tranquil oasis set in the lush hills surrounding North Phewa Lake. The place is only a 5-7minute taxi or 30 minute walk from Central Lakeside. The centre itself offers panoramic views of the lake, where you can watch the sky colour during the day with eagles, parrots and paragliders gently making their descent, all under the eye of the Shanti Stupa, or Peace Pagoda facing them on the opposite side of the Lake. In the morning Tri-Bikram Yoga offers an optional hike to explore the stunning natural scenery surrounding the retreat, including walking through rice fields, forest paths and up stone steps where you can experience colourful wildlife, friendly villagers and breathtaking viewpoints.
