Kathmandu, Nepal – May 12, 2025 – What happens when wellness transcends therapy and evolves into a life-changing blueprint? From May 1 to 6, 2025, Dr Prem’s Wellness Retreat and Masterclass at Jungle Mahal set a new global benchmark by delivering the world’s first 8-dimensional wellness experience – an immersive journey of learning, healing, and self-discovery. Designed as a model for total well-being, the retreat seamlessly integrated all eight dimensions of wellness – physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social, occupational, environmental, and financial – into every session, space, and interaction.

An Elite Global Gathering for Transformational Wellness

The retreat hosted selective guests and professionals, doctors, therapists, and conscious wellness seekers from 8 countries, including India, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Denmark, and Nepal. Expert perspectives from two Ayurveda doctors, a renowned yoga guru, a psychologist, and an environmental professor subtly deepened the retreat’s holistic framework without overtaking its core experience.

Each participant engaged in a program crafted to integrate the 8 Dimensions of Wellness – physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social, occupational, environmental, and financial.

The program earned a remarkable 9.7/10 participant rating, praised for its rare blend of structure, soul, and cultural richness.

Jungle Mahal: Nepal’s Sanctuary for Holistic Healing

Located at the outskirts of Kathmandu in the spiritually vibrant village, Jungle Mahal Wellness Resort provided the ideal setting for this Ayurveda retreat in Nepal. Surrounded by mountains, forests, and sacred terrain, the space facilitated deep spiritual travel and environmental healing, key pillars of holistic healing and conscious well-being.
