Detox Holiday in Nepal

Reinvigorate mind and body in the world’s number one trekking destination! Combining hiking, yoga, mediation and a super-nutritional dietary regime, this 20-day detox holiday in Langtang, Nepal is a workout like no other!

Set high in the midst of the Himalaya and long-shielded from the tides of urbanisation, Nepal is a country of extraordinary geographic and cultural diversity. The world’s youngest republic is home to eight of the planet’s ten highest mountains, including mighty Mt. Everest, as well as sub-tropical forests, marshy grasslands and fertile valleys. It was in one such folded foothill that Guatama Buddha, founder of the Buddhist tradition, was born some two and a half millennia ago. While Buddhism would go on to become the religion of choice in much of east Asia, Nepal has long been a majority Hindu nation. This tradition, in turn, has bestowed upon the country some of the world’s most elegant and enigmatic architecture and a unique artistic heritage.

Put the gym membership on standby - this three week detox holiday in Nepal might forever change the way you think about health and fitness! You’ll be based in the Langtang region, home to monkeys, bears and countless yeti sightings, not to mention several epic (6,500m+) mountains! Sections of the hike will be at high altitude to improve your BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate), and there are also sessions teaching yoga and mediation techniques en route! It’s not all action though – the trip ends with a jungle safari at the spectacular Chitwan National Park, world-renowned for its rhinos and tigers and the perfect place to reflect on this life-changing experience.

This is an incredible tour that truly merits the tacky truism: ‘life-changing’! At the same time, this clearly isn’t everyone’s cup of camomile tea. While we’re confident that anyone could benefit from three weeks of hiking in the Himalaya, you’re going to need a fair amount of willpower and discipline, not to mention a decent level of fitness. The itinerary for this trip is fairly fixed – even meals are carefully planned by the team dietician – so those who see holidays as a chance to cut loose might be left a bit lost by this one. The emphasis here is on long-term wellbeing, not the usual quick-fix relief of a beach holiday. Rest assured, the glow lasts longer than the tan!
