Accommodation for guests is available at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, the Conference Venue, which has sufficient accommodation for more than half the number of guests expected. While all rooms in ashram will be clean and tidy, there is a large variation in the rooms themselves such as their size, number of bedrooms (if in a suite), number of beds in a room, the type of toilet (“Indian” style or “Western” style), availability of running hot water versus the necessity of getting hot water from an external source. At all times, please note that accommodation offered is basic. Do not expect conventional hotel style comfort. This is an ashram, and not a hotel. Please also note that smoking, consumption of alcohol beverages and non vegetarian foods are strictly prohibited in all parts of the ashram. Students from India We have reserved the basic economy rooms for students from India. So if you are a student from India, please contact for your reservation/s. How long do I need accommodation for?
