After leaving the airport & driving through Thamel I was overwhelmed
& exhausted. I was welcomed with warm arms & friendly faces. I received
an ayurvedic message & was surprised by how different it was from a
western message. I wasn't same afterwards but my mind & body were calm
& muscles were exhausted. We did some stretching which helped me melt
away later that evening. The food was fantastic! No need to worry about
the water! They have their own spring & also boil & filter the water!
It's ok to savor the fruits & vegetables from the garden. They also
grows their own & make their own honey yum! I very much enjoyed the
conversation and learning from DR. Subodh. He is very knowledgeable
& is open to answering all the questions you may have. The Syambhunath
stupa is a short walk away & it's enjoyable to with Nepali life. While
touring the surrounding neighborhoods, he was great guide too. I very
much enjoyed my stay here & would highly recommend it to other western
looking to unwind & get recentered. I also highly reccommend a yoga
lesson! Namaste!

After a trek around the Annapurna region and few days in heavily polluted
Thamel, I was ready for a change of scenerary. I wasn't sure what to
do with my last three days in Kathmandu that is when I found the HIYA
brochure.
Arriving at the HIYA ground was like stepping into an Oasis in the middle of desolate desert. Further the brochure was not lying when it said they treat you like GOD in field the great service is one of the unique highlights.
The magnificent garden well maintained, the food is temtic and the
cook extremely accommodating and friendly. The bed and bathrooms were
very clean and fresh which was welcome surprise after trekking.
The expertise of Yoga instructor Dr. Subodh is certainly the Highlights
of HIYA. The message is caring and unique and his yoga / meditation
instruction was refreshing and inspiring. I will defiantly be returning
to HIYA for a longer stay and with some friends. I think Dr. Subodh
will be the ideal teacher for a longer term training course or more
intensive health cleansing therapy.
I wish HIYA and all its partners all the best and hope more westerners discover the benefits of eastern philosophy / medicines through HIYA and Dr. Subodh.

A breath of fresh air in the middle of Kathmandu. It's great to know
such places exist. Everything and everyone were fantastic/. The sounds
of the music from the monasteries made for a true Asian experience.
The Yoga movements were very helpful in helping my body to recover from
my trek around Annapurna but the steam bath was the ultimate in relaxation
and recovery. I would highly recommend this center to everyone.

After traveling around the world I felt exhausted and unhealthy, after
a week here at HIYA I feel completely rejuvenated, healthy and relaxed.
The staffs here are friendly and the food is fantastic, thanks to cook
Babu. I also enjoyed the fresh food garden here. It has been great to
relax in this lovely sanctuary away from busy Kathmandu whilst still
having everything close by. The Yoga and health treatments were great
and really got a lot of meditations. Overall it has been a really great
week and have enjoyed spending time with the friendly people here .It
is also been great having the family atmosphere here
with kids. Thanks again.

After coming back from an exhausting trekking tour in Bhutan
I could not find a better place for some relaxing days in Kathmandu.
It was perfect to find a spot at Himalayan Int'l Yoga Academy
& Research Center (HIYA) like this beautiful garden with
all these nice people in the middle of the amazing city. It is my third
time in Nepal, but I could never end my trip better then this time.
I am sure after staying here for five nights, doing some yoga, having
message and the very relaxing Shiro Dhara , I am good prepared to go
back to hectic Europe. When ever the next weeks will turn busy and I
feel get under pressure it will remind me back to this lovely place.
Thanks a lot for your kind hospitality.

Dear, 
Dr. Simkhada and all the staff at HIYA
Thank you for the wonderful two weeks accommodation and service at your
beautiful center. As soon as we stepped through the gate we felt as
if we were in a different world around. It is a tranquil and peaceful
oasis.
The staff was gracious and the accommodation in the tent was superb.
Our favorite treatment was Shiro Dhara an enlightening hour of liquid
meditation. The Yoga class in the early morning to start the day and
dinner under the star provided happy end.
We would recommend HIYA to any one seeking tranquility and peaceful
mind in Nepal.
Thank you for everything and we hope to see you again soon.

Tranquility is the word to describe this beautiful haven. I was flowered
by the luscious Garden of gorgeous array of flowers and great fruit
garden. The setting is truly enchanting as it overlooks the peaceful
monasteries and the view of Kathmandu.
In general a great retreat for me especially from some one who hails
from the buzzing cosmopolitan city of Singapore.
The Organic food is delicious , the service is personal ( I truly feel
like home) and the yoga / meditation lessons worked wonders to my mind
, body and soul. I Learned a lot.
Cheers to the. Wonderful team

Peace and so
litude
were the entries of my trip to Nepal. Coming from a country of modernization,
competition and pressure I was indeed looking for something quite opposite.
I never regret finding your website and took the chance to study for
few days despite not knowing a thing or two about it. I am very grateful
to the warm welcome of your gracious people. The fantastic delicates
of Nepal. Excellent steam baths and message by Zeena. Dr.'s sharing
of knowledge and the list just goes on. Despite of short stay of 2 nights
3 days I feel energized and my spirit / soul is uplifted to greater
heights. Thank you for the wonderful accommodation ( love my tent) and
providing me with much experience memories of Nepal. Thank you for being
a part of my first Nepal trip adventure.

I googled Yoga in Nepal to locate a yoga center only few weeks ago and
now we are here! enjoyed the relaxing yoga vacation experience after
the 16 + hrs of flight from USA via Delhi.
We were greeted with garland at the airport and then with flowers at
the centre by Dr. Subodh with a Big smile. It is really a yoga retreat
center set up in harmony with nature. We would see so many different
type of tropical and Nepali plants and flowers. The Apple picked up
from native tree was delicious.
Our first Yoga session with Dr. subodh was very lively, entertaining
and informative. It is really great to see his expertise in alternative
medicine is impressive. I am confident that his knowledge will benefit
many people in need. I hope Dr. will have opportunities to expand the
center into a world class yoga meditation research institute. Finally
the Yoga centers management team lead by Mr. Rajan and Kumar is excellent.
Their commitment to Yoga is clearly visible in addition to travel expertise.
They are very friendly and caring. Importantly the center wants to contribute
to the local community in need, this is the true yoga philosophy. We
wish all the best ad look forward to great things from the Academy.

A beautiful Green Oasis in what I had written off as noisy chaotic
Kathmandu. Luscious
Well loved Gardens with such an amazing array of fruit and vegetable.
The 2 and half days was just what I needed time to be still, relax,
read, have treatments and just deep my little toe in the fascinating
world that is Yoga.
So much to learn but I can take away with me a few simple thoughts and
practices that can short my Yoga journey. All of the staff here are
so friendly and helpful with a homely feel. Thank upi from my Heart.

We enjoyed here very much and will be back. The staff was most friendly and hospitality. Dr Subodh is a world class teacher of Yoga and of Life. It was my first experience in Yoga and Meditation. Dr taught us the values of time and yoga in modern life. The place if more peaceful and relaxing. Thank you! Thank you! see you.
Natasha Reaney, Vancouver,Canada- July 30,2010:
This place is absolutely wonderful. providing a much deeper understanding of yoga. I feel ready to practice on my own. Dr Subodh is a wonderful teacher, while I have already had opportunities to learn about yoga ,meditation, positive food, his teaching allowed me to pull this knowledge together, expand it and make it whole-the essence of yoga as a life practice. i hope to use the knowledge and understanding I have gained here. i will always remember HIYA. Dhanyabad!
Linda Fisher,Australia- August 2010:
Thank you Dr Subodh who looked after me and gave wonderful Acupressure for my headache-it worked. wonderful food and great cook-keep it up. Really enjoyed my walks through the village even one of the monastery with the hill nice peaceful atmosphere, looking forward to the rest of my trip in Nepal. much thanks.
Natasha Betity, Philipinnes, August 6, 2010.:
I came here thinking that I would experience here physical yoga exercise and instead I learnt something more better that yoga is a waym of life, not merely concerned of physical attainments. Dr Subodh is a wonderful teacher and every words he utters shows him to be true yoga Guru. My stay here at HIYA has truly been a memorable experience. I regret leaving after 3 days and wish that i would stay longer. The view from my luxurious tent is quite wonderful. the food has been excellent. All in all, I 've had a great time here.
Anisha and John,Newyork,August 28,2010:
We came here for some rest-relaxation before trekking(and to distress from 4 days with luggage).The surroundings were peaceful, we thoroughly enjoyed the therapies ,Food and learning with Dr who gave a complete introduction about Yogic Science that will guide my learning and practice. He answered my questions and was very resourceful. The staff were friendly. It was my wonderful experience and hope I can return sometime soon to stay longer. Thank you for everything!
