During your 3 nights at the Siddhi Manakamana Hotel, you’ll rise to the sound of monastery horns and enjoy early morning practice as monastic life carries on around you. Siddhi Manakamana, located just a few steps from the Boudhanath Stupa – the heart of Buddhist Nepal – and offers simple, comfortable rooms, each with its own bathroom and hot water, flat screen TV, and balcony opening out to a pleasant garden. Here you can relax and be inspired by the many sights and experiences that this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers.

Our next 3 nights will be spent at the beautiful Namo Buddha Resort, located in the mountains on the southern edge of the Kathmandu Valley.  With sweeping views of terraced foothills, the resort is famous for its excellent food, private bungalows and its stunning panorama of Nepal’s famous snow-peaked Himalayan ranges.  Here we’ll have an inspiring environment and plenty of time to go deep into our individual work and our personal creative process.

Back in Kathmandu, the Hyatt Regency will be your home for the last night of your journey. You’ll enjoy sweeping stupa views from the main lobby and the rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with high quality linens and luxurious bathrooms. The hotel spa offers a swimming pool, massage services, steam, and sauna. Pamper yourself in preparation for the journey home.

On our final evening together we'll not only have time to relax and indulge a bit before heading back home, but we'll also host a final reading event, open to the public. The featured writers from the Himalayan Writers Workshop's will read from their own work and, if you feel inspired, you are welcome to add your voice to a final celebration of travel & creativity. 

We always seek accommodation that strikes the balance between modern comfort and local flavor.
