25,000 people to take part in Ramdev's Yoga camp in Nepal

Around 25,000 Yoga enthusiasts are expected to participate in Ramdev's Yoga camp in Nepal beginning tomorrow where he will teach the techniques of the 5,000-year-old Indian spiritual practice.
The Yoga guru, who arrived here today to hold the five- day Yoga camp, said the practice will be "instrumental in strengthening ties" between Nepal and India.
The camp is being organised with the intention to raise awareness about health through Ayurvedic medium, according to the organiser Patanjali Yogapeeth.
Talking briefly to journalists upon his arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Ramdev expressed his sadness for the demise of 17 Indian pilgrims in an accident that occurred in Dhading district yesterday.

Ramdev will share with the Nepalese people the techniques of Yoga during the camp, that will be inaugurated by Nepal's President Ram Baran Yadav.
As many as 25,000 people are expected to participate in the free yoga classes at Tundikhel Open Ground, the Patanjali Yogapeeth said.

The camp will also conduct the free health checkup for which a team of Ayurvedic practitioners have arrived from the Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogapeeth.
Ramdev will also take part in the clean Bagmati campaign at the banks of the river here on Saturday. The sacred Hindu Pashupatinath temple is located on its banks.
During his trip, the Yoga guru will also inaugurate a herbal factory in Birgunj in southern Nepal, where herbal medicines and cosmetic products will be manufactured.

Yoga, the 5,000-year-old Indian physical, mental and spiritual practice, aims to transform body and mind.
