Simple Deep: Nepal with Karma Rinpoche
DATES: 01.11–12.11
Join Karma Rinpoche, a genuine Dzogchen master, for a spiritual pilgrimage through the sacred heart of Nepal.

This is a unique opportunity to receive direct, spontaneous teachings while journeying to the birthplace of the Buddha, the great stupas of Kathmandu, and the enlightenment caves of ancient saints, or meeting sunrise with the view of Annapurna.

This is not a tour; it is a profound journey of inner discovery, designed for those who seek authentic transformation
YOUR GUIDES
  • KARMA LHATRUL DORJI RINPOCHE
    your guide on the inner journey

    Karma Rinpoche is a rare and authentic spiritual guide:

    • started his way to spiritual enlightenment in the age of 3 under guidance of Terton Rinpoche in India
    • spend 9 years in solitude retreat in jungles
    • devoted Dzogchen practitioner and Master
    • lineage holder of Padma Sangthik
    • award-winning movie director bridging ancient wisdom with the modern world

    This is a rare opportunity to receive direct, living teachings. Rinpoche doesn't teach from a script; his wisdom is spontaneous, responding directly to the group and the moments that arise.

  • Natalia Karikh
    Tour organizer and host

    Deciple of Karma Rinpoche with a 20+ year passion for Asia, Natalya avoids mass tourism, creating just 2-3 unique tours a year.
