Greenhills Guesthouse

Green Hills Yoga retreat is an amazing place to go! Great view of Pokhara and the lake, surrounded by lovely green forest, all the staff is very friendly and caring! The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The food is delicous, there are also very yummy gluten free meals available. The Yoga teachers are very professional and I got to learn a lot. Very special was that we even did some organized group activities like a sunrise hike or a walk to a beautiful waterfall. So I really have no complaints at all! My time there was absolutely perfect. I'd love to come back! Thank you to everyone :)

I have practiced yoga alone in my living room for a long time, but this was my first yoga retreat. When my body decided that a trek was not in the cards for me, green hills found a space for my mother and I to join them a day after I called, which required making arrangements with the lovely hotel next door to host us. The program consisted of morning yeti bowl nasal cleansing (something I was quite skeptical of and enjoyed immensely), a gentle morning yoga practice, 3 delicious and healthy vegetarian meals, an afternoon sound healing session, a more challenging evening yoga session, a nighttime meditation (or mantra chanting and dancing) and optional additional services, such as hikes and massages (for a little extra on the massages). I live as far as humanly possible from Nepal, but it is still cheaper to fly there for this experience than it would be to do something similar at home. I had never experienced sound healing before and absolutely fell in love with it. The yogis were all deeply spiritual and completely non judgemental people who were a delight to learn from. The down to earth, diverse collection of other travelers from all over the world became an instant family. My mother and I soaked up the calm, healing environment. I recovered from my illness there faster than I thought possible and left with a renewed desire to expand my personal yoga practice beyond a physical fitness challenge to incorporate my own sense of spirituality, to reach out to establish connections with other yoga practitioners in my community, and to learn how to play the singing bowls to bring the beautiful benefits of sound healing to my family. All in all it was a transformative experience for me and one I am deeply grateful for. There is not a single thing I would change about the experience and I certainly hope to return someday, preferably to share this treasure with some of my other loved ones that could benefit from it as well.

I stayed at green hills for 5 days and I enjoyed it so much! When I arrived I directly felt at home, everyone is super friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable, I slept really good every night. The food was delicious and something different everyday which was great. Furthermore, I joined the daily yoga sessions and sound healing session and it was wonderful. I was a beginner and therefore a bit nervous in the beginning but the yoga teachers were really kind and made me feel totally at ease. The retreat is also located in a great spot. It’s a bit up the hill so it has a gorgeous view on the lake and it’s a nice walk to lakeside in Pokhara. My days here went by so fast and I cannot recommend staying here enough!!

We had such a wonderful stay here. Very heartly welcome, the room was absolutely clean and seemed to be very new. The different yoga and meditation sessions were really relaxing and healing. And the food was absolutely delicious! I wish, we would have had more time, and stayed longer. Absolutely recommend!!

Quite and charming retreat center in the hills. Come here if you want a beautiful view of the lake and mountains, good yoga classes, and the best sound healing experience. The facility is well kept and clean. The staff were all kind and pleasant. The meals were all home made and they were delicious and the cooks were so kind. I would stay here again, just maybe not during the winter since for me I felt it was a little cold and I like to be warm. Met other travelers too and wish I could have stayed a little longer.

Great professional yoga classes (morning, evening and sound healing around noon), great conversations with the staff and other participants, healthy and tasty food - simply the perfect escape from bustling Pokhara. Felt like family.
