The International Buddhist Academy in Kathmandu, Nepal, has introduced an international seven-year training program that presents the Tibetan Buddhist path in its full scope. Designed for Dharma practitioners of all levels, this rare course offers both study and lived experience of the theory and practice of the Mahayana and Vajrayana path as preserved through the founding masters of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism.
The first three years of the program are offered by Drogmi Buddhist Institute, while the final four years take place at the International Buddhist Academy in Kathmandu. Participants can expect a structured and immersive learning journey that deepens understanding, supports personal practice, and creates space for meaningful engagement with the Buddhist tradition in a supportive international setting.
Set within the peaceful grounds of the Kamalashila Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Tilba, these retreat huts are available for hire for those seeking time away in a quiet, restorative setting. With Mount Gulaga as your backdrop and the shimmering ocean stretching out in front, the location offers a rare sense of stillness and natural beauty.
Designed for a personal retreat, each hut is fully self-contained and includes a kitchenette and ensuite facilities, allowing for a comfortable and independent stay. The environment is ideal for rest, reflection, and quiet renewal, with the surrounding landscape supporting a deeper sense of calm and healing.
One of the huts also offers full disabled access and facilities, making the space more accessible for guests with mobility needs. Whether you are looking for solitude, a gentle reset, or simply a peaceful place to unwind, these huts provide a welcoming base for your retreat.
