5-Day Sunrise Hatha Yoga in Pokhara

Pokhara · Sarangkot · 5 days

Verified
from $390
deposit $58.50 now

Overview

Sarangkot sits on a ridge above Pokhara, and on clear mornings it is one of the finest places in Nepal to watch the sun reach the Annapurna range. This short retreat builds a gentle hatha practice around that sunrise.

Each day begins early with breathwork on the terrace as the light comes up, followed by a grounded hatha class. The pace suits beginners, and the family who host you keep the group small.

You stay in a simple hillside guesthouse and share home-cooked Nepali meals, including dal bhat, at the family table. Afternoons are free to rest, walk the ridge paths, or head down into Pokhara.

From our visit (April 2026)
Aarav: “I climbed up the evening before and did the sunrise class the next morning. The terrace really does look straight at Machhapuchhre when the sky is clear. The family run it themselves and it is basic, not fancy, but the welcome is genuine and the morning tea arrived before the first pose.”

Questions & answers

When do the classes start each day?

Classes are timed to the sunrise, so they begin early on the terrace and finish before breakfast. Exact times shift a little through the seasons as sunrise moves.

Is this suitable for a complete beginner?

Yes. The hatha classes are beginner-friendly and the group is kept small, so you can go at your own pace. No prior yoga is needed.
