Accommodation

(Included in the fee.) Accommodation at the Bhaja retreat centre is what I
would call 'Basic' by Western standards, in double rooms and dormitaries.
If you come on your own, we might ask you to share with another person of the
same sex. Each room has a fan. Bathrooms and toilets are a mixture of
Western style and Indian style, and are located near the accommodation. We
suggest, if you want one, you bring your own mosquito net.
Food

(Included in the fee.) The retreat centre provides simple, delicious,
vegetarian food for breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. Tea and coffee
are available at teabreaks.
Travel

We ask you to arrange your own flight and travel to Bhaja. We will provide
information on how to get to Bhaja from Mumbai and Pune.
