Within a day's drive (about seven hours by road, our rough estimate): Delhi NCR 16, Mumbai 31, Bengaluru 6, Chennai 4, Kolkata 3, Hyderabad 4 and Pune 33. Use "Near my town" on the calendar to measure from where you live.
Can I still get a place?
When we checked in October 2026, 1 was open for applications and 142 weren't open yet. Where a centre gives the date, applications usually open about 13 weeks before the course starts. Places change daily, so check the official site.
Can I join a Vipassana course if I've never done one?
Yes, on a 10-day course: 108 courses this month are open to new students. The other 35 (Satipatthana, 3-day and longer courses) are for old students who have completed a 10-day course. Every centre listed runs its courses free of charge, on donations from past students. You apply on the centre's schedule page; a place is confirmed by the centre.
