Alternative Accommodation

The nearby tourist towns of Patnem, Palolem, and Agonda offer a wide range of accommodation for all budgets. For the budget traveler, there are many classic Goan bamboo huts with palm-thatched roofs right on the shore. Other seaside resorts feature pleasant, little cottages, or balcony rooms in a larger building. A/C rooms and cottages are also available at slightly higher rates.

For longer term students or families, there are several small, furnished houses—one to four bedrooms, with common areas, kitchens, verandas and gardens available in the village of Galgibaga surrounding the Ashram. These houses are an easy walking / biking distance from our main teaching centers and provide an excellent alternative for independent living. Scooters are also available for hire and cost 100 Rps a day.
