YOU ARE INVITED to Nepal and Bhutan!

I just got back from my retreat in India and let me tell you, I never laughed so much! The people that joined my retreat were so much fun, I couldn’t wait to plan another adventure and this time I am taking you to Nepal and Bhutan!

We had the most AMAZING time! I love traveling with new friends and becoming so close; my best friends are people that have come on my past retreats. This trip had the best people! We laughed a lot!

What I feel is the best advertisement for my retreats is that most people are repeat travelers! 5 of the people on my India retreat also were on past retreats and they had so much fun, they come on multiple retreats!

Anessa came on 4 of my retreats! I first met her on my Bali retreat where she was 180 pounds. On each retreat, she shrinks from being inspired to change her diet. Check out her transformation! The first photo was with elephants in Bali, the second photo was with elephants in India!

NEPAL AND BHUTAN

These are 2 retreats in one! You can choose to do just Nepal or just Bhutan, but for the ultimate adventure, I highly suggest signing up for both! After Nepal, we will fly together to Bhutan!

I’m Taking a Small Group to Nepal & Bhutan. Will You Join Me?

Eleven days across two of the world’s most extraordinary Himalayan kingdoms; where ancient culture, profound stillness, and the cleanest food on earth all meet in one journey.

For years, I’ve wanted to take the people I care most about; the ones who follow my recipes, read my books, and have trusted me with their health; somewhere that would change the way they think about nourishment. Not just food nourishment. All of it.

I wanted to take you somewhere that proves, in the most undeniable way, that how we eat, how we live, and how we slow down are all part of the same conversation.

I kept coming back to the Himalayas. To Nepal, where wellness traditions are as old as the mountains themselves. And to Bhutan; a kingdom with no traffic lights in its capital, that plants trees to celebrate, that measures its success in happiness instead of money.

So, I’m going. And I want you to come with me.

These are the places that don’t give you a beautiful view and send you home. They rearrange something in you.

Nepal : 15 – 20 March 2027

Where the reset begins!

Nepal is ancient in a way that gets under your skin. The temples have been standing for centuries. The monasteries are still alive with monks and prayer. The Himalayan range fills the horizon in a way no photograph has ever prepared anyone for. And in the middle of all of it, there is a profound, unhurried stillness that begins working on you almost immediately.

What awaits you; the experiences that will stay with you forever:

1. Dhulikhel – Imagine waking up and the first thing you see — before coffee, before your phone, before a single thought has formed — is the entire Himalayan range stretched across the horizon, golden in the early light. This is your morning for two days at Dwarika’s Sanctuary in Dhulikhel.
2. An Everest Morning ( Optional ) – There are mornings, and then there are mornings you tell people about for the rest of your life. What if breakfast tomorrow was at the foot of the highest mountain on earth? We give you two ways to meet Everest. Board a helicopter at dawn and fly to Everest Base Camp — where you step out into thin, electric air, the summit towering above you, and sit down to breakfast in one of the most extraordinary places a human being can stand. For those who want to go all the way: a private helicopter flight to Everest base camp, where we land, step out into the extraordinary thin air, and have breakfast with the summit of the world rising above us. For those who prefer to take it in from the air: a mountain flight that carries you as close as a fixed-wing aircraft can get to Everest and the great Himalayan chain – the peaks filling your window, the light catching the snow in ways that don’t translate to any screen. Both options leave at dawn. This is not a detour. It is the kind of thing that becomes the thing you remember most.
3. Bhaktapur – Most ancient places feel like museums. Bhaktapur feels like a living, breathing civilisation that simply never left. Walk its brick-paved squares and the 15th century doesn’t feel distant — it feels present. Pagoda temples rise in tiers above you. Wooden windows, carved with a patience and skill that the modern world has largely forgotten, frame every lane.

Every detail of the Nepal programme – the stays, the experiences, the full flow of the six days; lives in the link below.

This trip is designed as one complete experience – Nepal flowing into Bhutan, each one deepening what the other begins. But if one kingdom is calling you more than the other right now, you can join us for Nepal alone, or Bhutan alone. Same small group. Same quality of experience. Your trip, your way.

Bhutan · 20 – 25 March 2027 ( 10 – 12 spots )

The last kingdom that kept its soul

Bhutan limits its visitors on purpose. You feel this the moment you land – a country that decided, deliberately, to stay itself. We will be spending time in Thimphu and Paro, moving between monasteries, markets, and mountains.

What awaits you; the experiences that will stay with you forever

Duration: 6 Days · 5 Nights
Thimphu (2 nights) + Paro (3 nights)

Group Size: 10 -12 ( Intentionally intimate.)

Where You’ll Stay

• Norkhil Boutique Hotel & Spa ( Thimphu )
• Dawa at Hilltop ( Paro )

1. The Hike to Tiger’s Nest – We will stand in front of Taktsang Monastery, clinging impossibly to a sheer cliff face 900 metres above the Paro Valley. We hike together through pine forests lined with prayer flags, our guide sharing stories as clouds drift across the rock face like the mountain itself is breathing. Inside, in one of the altar rooms, you’ll sit in complete stillness. There is nothing in the world quite like it.
2. A Traditional Hot Stone Bath– After the Tiger’s Nest hike, we visit Zanta Spa for a traditional Menchu hot stone bath; medicinal river water mixed with Artemisia leaves, heated with stones roasted on open fire until they glow red. The minerals they release into the water are said to have healing properties. What I can tell you is that after two to three hours on a mountain trail, sliding into that water feels like the most natural reward in the world. Salt scrub. Oil massage. Total restoration.
3. The Market & The Kitchen ( Keto in Bhutan ) – We begin the morning at Thimphu’s Farmers’ Market — a vibrant, sensory introduction to Bhutanese food culture. Think fresh yak cheese, seasonal greens, dried chillies, and small-batch fermented vegetables that are integral to everyday cooking here. You’ll walk through the market tasting, touching, and understanding these ingredients up close. Later, we come together for a hands-on cooking experience led by me alongside a Bhutanese chef, where you’ll prepare a simple, nourishing keto-style meal; focused on wholesome ingredients, healthy fats, and clean, balanced flavours inspired by the region.
4. A 7th-Century Blessing: At Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples, we light butter lamps together. Founded in the 7th century, it carries a quiet kind of beauty that only devotion creates. A monk blesses our group. You don’t need to believe in anything specific for this to land. For nearly 1,400 years, this temple has welcomed people exactly as they are. It knows how to receive you.

Is This for You? (This trip is for people who are ready for it.)

• You want travel that actually does something to you

Not another city, not another resort pool. You’re looking for a trip that rearranges something in you — and you know those trips take real finding.

• You care about how food makes you feel — not just how it tastes

You don’t want to abandon your keto lifestyle to travel well. You want to deepen it in a country where eating simply and seasonally has always just been how things are done.

• You’re ready to be genuinely still

Meditation at sunrise, a blessing in a 1,400-year-old temple, a hot stone bath after the hike of your life. You don’t need to be spiritual. You just need to be open to it.

• You want to do this with good people around you

10 to 14 guests – that’s it. Small enough that every meal is a conversation, every hike is shared, and every quiet moment actually has room in it.

Some trips you talk about.

This is one you come on.

Bhutan limits its visitors on purpose.
So do we.

If something in this has been pulling at you; that feeling is worth trusting. Reach out. Ask your questions.
Let’s see if this is your trip.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY

“I would kick myself if I didn’t write this post…if you have ever had a desire to see Italy, learn more about the keto way of eating, please watch for the next announcement on Maria’s page for the next Italy tour.

I was there…and while I was not at my ideal weight, I came away with more powerful information from Maria than before. She gave very powerful speeches that reinvigorated my desire to be back on track.

You know what else? Maria is NOT judgmental...she realizes that everyone is on a path to better health, and she is there to share tips, tricks and great knowledge to help you get there. I admit that I was intimidated, but once I met her, how could you not fall head over heels for this beautiful person who only wants to share her passion for better health by simply changing our diets?! (Food is thy medicine!) I will definitely try to make the next #ItalyKetoMaria tour next year, and for those of you who didn’t go this time, don’t miss out…it was PHENOMENAL!!! 🇮🇹♥️” Katya

This group will be friends of mine for life!
