Osho Tapoban, Nepal

Osho Tapoban, located in the northern part of Kathmandu, is a 45-minute drive from Thamel. It is an international community and retreat centre nestled in the dense Nagarjuna forest, where the Buddhist saint Nagarjuna meditated and attained ultimate enlightenment.

The main attraction of Osho Tapoban is its rich diversity of flora and fauna. A wide variety of flowers, native trees, and wildlife can be seen throughout the area. Wild animals such as deer, the Royal Bengal Tiger, leopards, and bears roam the dense green forest. It is also a popular destination for bird watchers and nature lovers.

At the heart of Osho Tapoban lies the Rajneesh Dhyan Mandir, a beautifully designed meditation hall that can welcome 200 people for regular meditation and up to 500 people for discourse. The daily meditation sessions are held in the theatre.

The garden at Tapoban features many valuable and beautiful statues, including those of Buddha, Lord Ganesh, Lord Shiva, and others, which add to the attraction of the place.

Nepal has become a key site for Osho followers to make their retreat. The popularity of Osho Tapoban increased significantly when Mr. Nitesh Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar, India, chose to stay here instead of luxury hotels in Kathmandu.

Duke Nepal highly recommends visiting and retreating at Osho Tapoban, Nepal.

“If we had understood the earth as the mother of all, even of great values, we would have treated the earth differently. We have destroyed it. We have almost poisoned it. Humans have broken its ecological unity. We have disturbed its environment. And now, with nuclear weapons, we are ready to destroy them. And it is the source of all that is beautiful and all that is great. The earth is sacred.” – OSHO
