Going to VanVaas means going away from the world to reconnect, get grounded, rejuvenate and come back stronger. Nestled in isolation in an orchard by a stream, deep in a Himalayan forest, VanVaas offers the perfect opportunity to disconnect from the cacophony of everyday life and delve within.

Set in a tranquil orchard next to a stream in a forest, VanVaas offers a wide range of activities for visitors looking to reconnect with nature, find stillness and nurture their creativity.

Forest Bathing & Mindfulness

Immerse yourself in the healing powers of the forest through shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of forest bathing. Take mindful walks along winding trails, breathe in the phytoncides released by the trees, and soak up the sights, sounds and aromas of the forest. Guided forest bathing walks can help you slow down, de-stress and become fully present.

Yoga & Meditation

Practice yoga and meditation amidst nature’s beauty. Outdoor yoga surrounded by verdant forests and fresh mountain air re-energizes the body and calms the mind. Guided outdoor meditation sessions help you tune out distractions and tune into the present moment. Find your flow with daily yoga classes, or simply roll out your mat on the grass.

Foraging & Gardening

Learn about edible and medicinal plants through foraging walks in the forest and orchard. Help out in the organic vegetable garden and discover how food is grown. Get your hands dirty, connect with the land and appreciate nature’s bounty. Take your harvest back to the kitchen and create delicious farm-to-table meals.

Creative Arts

Ignite your creative spirit with painting, writing, music-making and other arts activities. Find inspiration in the tranquil natural beauty surrounding you. Join a watercolor paint session en plein air, pen poems under the trees, jam on acoustic instruments by the campfire, or craft artworks from foraged finds. Release your inner artist at VanVaas.
