Hi Arti...lovely pics. I am planning to go to this ashram in August. Can you please let me know more details like - should we pay for staying, what is the atmosphere like, how are the people there...you know just to get a feel of it...since this is my first trip there...would like to know.
The ashram stay is free of cost. There is no fixed tariff and you can donate according to your will before leaving the place. Plus there are two meals a day and afternoon/morning tea that is provided for free. The people are very good and hospitable too.
The ashram is very peaceful and right on the bank of the Ganges. Its clean, silent and the great views of the mountain with the Ganga river flowing alongside make for a very nice retreat if you are looking for a quiet place in the town.
Though it is not mandatory to make a reservation for the ashram stay but I would strongly suggest you to do so, so as to avoid any last minute hassles.

Hi there! I am Arti - constantly on the road, both figuratively and literally, unwrapping my unique gift called life. My blog, which focuses on spiritual journeys, is all about my love of sharing, exploring and learning; a continuous journey where I strive to seek the truth, discover myself, the world, my place therein and experience the real treasures of life along the way. I hope to help those planning to make a trip to these places or simply provide a virtual tour to the rest.
If you have any queries, do leave a comment, I will be pleased to help!
