In partnership with Merit Travel in Edmonton, I have led 6 Yoga and Culture Tours to Nepal in recent years. It is the food, culture, mountains and wonderful people of Nepal that keep me coming back!

YOGA & CULTURE IN NEPAL & INDIA Hosted by Neil Haggard

Our ‘Yoga & Culture in Nepal & India’ tour is the best blend of a daily yoga practice in Nepal and India

as well as exploring the local walks, the Hindu and Buddhist temples, markets, tasting local foods. It

is a wonderful way to travel simply and learn about new places in the world! I am always excited to

introduce Nepal (and now India) to yogis and trekkers alike!
