Idleness & Activities

​

RIEPE - PERFECT FOR YOGA & MEDITATION; whether individually or small groups.  

 

Eco-travellers sometimes say there are three components to travel:  ‘Going there’.  ‘Doing things there’.  And - most importantly - simply ‘Being there’.  Beyond the terraced fields of paddy, the forest climbs up the hillside; it is best visited in a small group out of respect for bear, wild boar and leopard, although you are more likely to encounter timid deer.

​

For a longer leg-stretch and for views that rival Riepe’s, take a village guide and hike along the trails that lead to small settlements – some in ruins.  Farther west still lie the Annapurna foothills, Begnas Lake and the outskirts of Pokhara.  What’s more, in Riepe, Yoga and Meditation go hand-in-hand, and mountain biking and paragliding are suited to the surrounding terrain.
