As part of his personal visit, the actor will practice ancient mindful techniques of meditation for the next 10 days.
According to a report by news agency PTI, an official at the Immigration Office confirmed that the actor flew Vistara Airlines to reach Kathmandu on Sunday morning.
The 58-year-old star will head to the Vipassana Meditation Centre situated in Budhanilkantha, nearly 12 km away from Kathmandu city. The meditation centre is one of the most prominent meditation centres in Kathmandu.
"Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has joined the ten-day meditation programme which started from Sunday," a staff member of the meditation centre was quoted as saying to PTI.
Talking to the news agency ANI, an official from the Vipassana centre in Nepal, Rup Jyoti, was quoted as saying, "Yes, he (Khan) is here to undergo 11 days of Vipassana meditation. He has been enrolled on the session since Sunday. From the airport, he directly came to Budhanilkantha and started the programme."
The last time Khan visited Kathmandu was in 2014 for a UNICEF event.
Recently, Khan was one of the many important guests to attend the national conclave 'Mann Ki Baat @100', organised by the Information & Broadcasting Ministry, to celebrate 100 episodes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's radio programme.
The '3 Idiots' star lauded PM Modi for his innovative approach to communicating with the people of the country.
It is believed that Khan decided to take a break from movies after his highly aspirational film 'Laal Singh Chaddha', alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, failed to leave a mark on the audience. The movie was an official Hindi remake of the 1994 movie 'Forrest Gump, featuring Tom Hanks. Before its release in 2022, the film was surrounded by controversies.
Khan, who is on a social media hiatus, hasn't confirmed or denied the report. He is also yet to announce his next project.
