Kathmandu (Nepal)
A Journey Into Presence
Meet Nepal and yourself with fresh eyes.
7 days · Guided by Maaike
Sometimes a different horizon helps us
see what has been there all along.
What it is?
You travel to Kathmandu and step into a different rhythm of life.
- Time slows down and you step out of your usual environment, creating space to land, reflect, and simply be.
- We spend time together in a natural, informal way — through conversations, shared moments, and simple practices that support being present.
- You get a sense of this place and way of living — as something to experience and feel for yourself.
This experience is part of the Fly In offering: a way to take a break and meet yourself with fresh eyes – somewhere in the world, together with me.
for you?
Shaking things up just a little?
This might be your kind of week if
- You feel ready to step out of your usual rhythm for a while
- Beautiful Nepal somehow pulls your attention
- You’re open to letting the week take shape as it goes
- You’re curious what shows up when you slow down for real
- You want to feel more alive, more present, more in it
- You’re ready to step out of “planning life” and into living it
What the days can hold
A glimpse of the rhythm
There is a rhythm to the days — just not a fixed one.
Presence & practice
Simple reflections come in, inspired by Eastern Wisdom. You get the time to let them land, not rush past them.
Nature & simple living
We spend time outside. Walking. Sunsets. Stillness. Meals are simple, nourishing — sometimes we cook together, sometimes we keep it easy and enjoy the local restaurants.
Visits & inspiration
We step into the surroundings — nature, local places, or spaces with a certain depth. Sometimes we meet people who carry something worth listening to. If the moment is right.
Connection & conversation
There is space to talk — one-on-one and, when it fits, together with others. Nothing is scheduled. Some conversations happen naturally. Others don’t. Both are fine. There’s also room for creativity, expression – and doing nothing at all.
Shared space & private time
Some moments are shared. Others are just yours. You don’t have to join everything, and you won’t miss anything by choosing differently. Before you arrive, we connect to sense what you need.
Glimpses of Kathmandu
You don’t come here to get something. Still, things tend to shift.
a personal note
What matters to you?
- Experiencing life with fresh eyes
- Feeling your energy return, naturally
- Relating differently to thoughts, emotions, and everyday challenges
- Discovering a deeper sense of ease in your body
- Opening to new perspectives in unexpected places
- Returning home with simple practices that continue to support you
And perhaps, somewhere along the way, your heart becomes a little softer and life feels a little lighter.
If you feel a little “hmmm 😊", that’s maybe enough.

Frequently Asked Questions?
That’s completely understandable. For many people, the openness can feel unfamiliar at first.
You’re used to knowing what comes next, what is expected, and how to move through a day. Here, there is more space.
We take things step by step, and you’re supported along the way.
You don’t have to “do it right”. You can simply arrive — and find your own rhythm within the experience.
There is a light structure,
but not a strict schedule.
The rhythm of the days is guided — yet spacious enough to allow things to unfold naturally.
Some moments are shared, others are left open. It’s a balance between direction and freedom.
We spend time together throughout the stay, but not in a continuous or structured way.
There are shared moments — conversations, practices, time together — and there is space in between.
It’s not about being “in sessions” all day, but about being present in a more natural way.
You’ll stay in a carefully selected guesthouse in Boudha — a place that feels like a small paradise.
It offers comfort, warmth, and a sense of calm, while still being closely connected to local life.
It’s a supportive environment to land, rest, and take in the experience at your own pace.
Yes, that’s possible.
Some people come alone,
others decide to share the experience.
What matters most
is that each person still has space for their own process within it.
Yes, families are welcome.
I’m happy to help you find a way to make the experience work — both for you individually and together as a family.
There are different ways to shape your time here,
so that everyone feels comfortable and supported.
If you’re considering coming as a family, we can simply explore together what would fit best.
Yes, absolutely.
Taking space is part of the experience.
You don’t have to be “on” or engaged all the time.
You can step back, rest,
or simply be by yourself when needed. That balance is important.
It can be quite personal — but never forced.
We work with what is there, at a pace that feels right for you.
There is space for deeper reflection, but also for lightness and simple moments.
You decide how far you go.
We take that seriously.
If something happens, we look at it together and make sure you are supported in a practical way.

and we stay close to what is needed in the moment.
That’s more common than you might think.
Many people arrive with a full mind or a tired body. The first thing is simply to land.
There’s no pressure to “jump in”. You can take your time to arrive, settle, and adjust.
From there, things tend to open naturally.
That’s a very valid feeling. You’re not expected to figure everything out by yourself.
Before your arrival, you’ll receive clear guidance to support your journey.
And once you’re there,
there is a sense of connection and presence
that makes it easier to settle in.
You’re not alone in the experience.
The experience includes your stay, time together, and the guidance throughout your visit.
You also receive support before arriving, so you can prepare in a relaxed way.
Details can be shared depending on the length and form of your stay — but the essence is simple: a place to land, time to explore, and support along the way.
