Frequently asked

Where are Kathmandu's meditation centers?

Most cluster around Boudhanath (Boudha) and in Pharping to the south of the valley. Both areas have a long practice culture and sit close to monasteries you can visit.

Is Dhamma Shringa in Kathmandu?

Yes. Dhamma Shringa, the Goenka Vipassana center, sits in the Budhanilkantha hills above Kathmandu. It is donation-based and booked directly; our guides explain how to apply.

Can I do a Buddhist meditation course here?

Yes. Several Kathmandu centers teach in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, with analytical and stabilising methods and teacher-led study. Listings show the tradition and daily schedule.
