In the forest beside Pashupatinath is the ashram where Shivapuri Baba, a widely respected saint, lived and meditated. A quiet place most visitors never see. Inside, we sit in silence.

I grew up nearby and have meditated since I was a child. For the last 7 years I have taught meditation, first with Nordstadt Meditiert in Dortmund, Germany, and now with Kathmandu Meditates.

Your morning

  1. Meet in Tilganga. Near the golf course, outside the Pashupatinath temple grounds. We start early.
  2. Breathwork under the trees. A gentle guided practice outdoors that helps you arrive.
  3. Silence at the ashram. About 30 minutes of sitting in silence. Speaking is not allowed inside, and I explain everything beforehand.
  4. A walk around Pashupatinath. On public paths near Pashupatinath. Along the Bagmati river we watch the morning rituals while I share what they mean.
  5. Tea and conversation. To close, unhurried.

Reserve your morning

Send us a message and we confirm the date. Breathwork and meditation are traditional, relaxing practices, not medical treatment.

Booking and safety

Booking. Your request becomes a booking once we confirm the date by email. $15 per person, all taxes included, no further costs, paid in cash on the day. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. The service is provided by GIRI Pvt. Ltd. (see Impressum). As a dated leisure service, it has no statutory right of withdrawal.

Safety. Breathwork can cause light-headedness. If you are pregnant or have a heart, lung, blood-pressure or mental-health condition, please ask your doctor first. Paths can be uneven, and the forest has insects and wildlife. You take part at your own responsibility and can stop at any time.
