Peaceful escape into nature: Pilot Baba Hike
Pilot Baba Ashram is a spiritual retreat located in Suryabinayak, Bhaktapur, Nepal. It was founded by Pilot Baba, an Indian spiritual guru who was formerly a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force. After a life-changing experience during the 1962 war, he left his military career to pursue spirituality and established ashrams across India, Nepal, and Japan.
The ashram is situated on a hilltop, offering breathtaking views of Kathmandu Valley. It features a Shikhara-style Shiva temple (Somnath Temple), a meditation hall, a shrine for Hindu ascetics, and a Sanskrit school. Visitors can hike to the ashram from Surya Binayak Temple, which takes about 2-3 hours. The hike passes through lush forests and offers a peaceful escape into nature.
There is a small entry fee to maintain the temple and its surroundings. The ashram is open to all, regardless of religious beliefs, and serves as a place for meditation, yoga, and spiritual enlightenment.
