The Ashram is in Himachal Pradesh, India. You can find detailed directions to the Ashram here.
The Ashram is now open during “Event” time and “Non Events”. Om Swami is not in the Ashram all the time and he only meets during the days specified under the events. For Non-Events please go to “Short term Stay at Ashram on Non-events”.
Please check the timings when the Ashram is open. Select the time when you would like to visit the Ashram and follow the registration process under the events and “Short term Stay at Ashram on Non-events”.
We have a male and female dormitory with attached washrooms. Other than that, we have rooms which can house either a family of three or four, or 3 people of similar gender. These rooms are subject to availability and will be only given once you arrive at the Ashram.
There is one big dining hall for meals.
The Ashram has a very simple and basic infrastructure so individual accommodation is not possible. You will be sharing rooms with other individuals.
The Ashram provides bedding and three vegetarian meals and evening tea.
Here is a list of things we suggest you bring with you during your stay:
- Towel and toiletries
- Small flashlight
- Ear plugs (if needed)
- Umbrella (for monsoon season as we do not have covered pathways)
- Hat (for summer season and if you are taking the river route)
- Adequate wool clothing (for winter season as it gets quite cold from Nov – Feb)
- Appropriate slippers and shoes (for walking around in the Ashram)
Medicine kit. The Ashram dispensary is well stocked but you are advised to carry your special and general medicines with you. The nearest pharmacy is 20km away.
You are welcome to bring your own sheet or pillow if you are more comfortable using them. We do not recommend washing clothes in the Ashram as we have more than 150 people staying in the Ashram on any given day during the meet time. Washing clothes will hinder other people from using the washrooms. Please bring enough clothing for the duration of your stay.
Couples are advised to pack separately as you may not necessarily get accommodation together.
We do request that people are mindful while using the Ashram facilities and help maintain the cleanliness of the Ashram at all times. The dormitories and the rooms have to be cleaned by the devotees occupying it.
We ask that you remain respectful of your fellow visitors and of your surroundings. We have a very pleasant environment here at the Ashram. We would like you to have a peaceful stay where you can commune with nature and experience the bliss that prevails at the Ashram. Please go here for detailed information for visiting the Ashram.
It gets extremely hot during the day from April to September but remains pleasant in the evenings. During the winter months from November to February, it gets very cold.
We do not have lockers. We have never had any situations of theft but please only bring what you need. If you do bring your laptops or any other valuables, we suggest that you carry them with you all the time. The Ashram is not responsible for any lost items.
