What if your next destination could completely change your state of mind? For Israeli travellers searching peace from overcrowded places, A Nepal Yoga Retreat might be exactly what you need right now. We have gathered feedback from our students who visited us from Israel and talked about the previous experience from other places.
Did you know what we found out? All of them said that they feel overwhelmed by expensive retreats in Bali and India that promise growth but deliver tourist traps and inflated prices. The place looks over crowded and has constant noise that does not give the vibe of yoga and spirituality. But here I am clarifying that these are not our personal opinion but reviews from our students, what they have experienced over there.
Here Nepal offers a great solution for this situation with the Himalayan landscape, deeply rooted yoga tradition, and with internationally-recognized yoga teacher training in Nepal.
In this article I will explain Why Israeli Travelers Love Our Retreat? And answer most-asked questions about yoga and retreats.
Why Choose a Yoga Retreat in Nepal Over India or Southeast Asia
Another great question, Why Nepal is better than India for yoga retreat? Let me explain this to you in a factual and meaningful way. If we look into the previous year data of Israeli travellers in Nepal, over 5,600 Israeli arrived during Jan-May 2025. In April alone more than 2,700 travellers arrived, the current highest record that year up to this point.
The first destination of many Israelis is India or southeast Asia expecting serenity and peace, only to find overcrowded yoga studios, packed tourists, and price inflation. The result? A retreat feels more like just another stop to the backpacker trail. Previously i have written about the comparison in “Nepal vs. Rishikesh: An Honest Perspective on Yoga Retreats”, where you can get the complete details on this location.
