**Kathmandu Reboot — A Small-Group Journey for Founders & Builders** This is not a typical trip to Nepal. Kathmandu - Reboot is a small-group experience for entrepreneurs, startup founders, and people in transition — designed as a pause to step out of your usual environment and gain clarity on what’s next. The focus is not on tourism, but on resetting your mind and perspective. Slowing down, creating space to think, and looking at your work and life from a different angle. We combine the unique atmosphere of the Kathmandu Valley — ancient cities, temples, "places of power", and culturally significant places — with simple, practical mindfulness sessions. No esoteric elements, no pressure — just a structured environment for reflection and meaningful conversations. **Who it’s for** — founders and entrepreneurs — people navigating change or considering their next move — anyone feeling the need to reboot and refocus **About the organizers** The trip is led by two founders (Kirill, the founder of this group and his friend Natasha) with entrepreneurial backgrounds, who have been using mindfulness practices for many years as a core support in their work — helping them stay effective, grounded, and sustainable through uncertainty and pressure. Kirill has spent extended time living in and exploring the Kathmandu Valley, particularly through the lens of Tibetan Buddhist meditation, and recognized its unique potential as an environment for a deep reboot. **What to expect** — 9 days in the Kathmandu Valley — curated program: walks, cultural exploration, reflection sessions, and free time — small group format for depth and quality interaction **Program (short overview)** — Bhaktapur and Patan (ancient cities, cultural and architectural context of the valley) — great Boudha Stupa and Swayambhu (key Buddhist sites, atmosphere for observation and reflection) — powerful monasteries and shrines (exposure to living practice and environment) — Nagarkot area (nature setting, sunrise point) The route is designed to move between cultural landmarks and places with a distinct contemplative quality, creating a varied but coherent experience of the valley. **Logistics** — comfortable hotel accommodation — all local transportation included — fully organized, all-inclusive experience on the ground **Dates** — Next trip: March 17-26 — Autumn cohort planned (October/November) For details and availability, message the organizer directly.
