- It's a small 12-room eco-hotel with optional wellness activities rather than a structured ashram — you set your own pace.
- Activities such as the 2-hour guided meditation (₹4,200 for one) or herbal bath are paid extras unless they're in a package.
- Bagdogra airport transfers can be arranged (₹6,500 per car); smoking is only allowed in the garden or on balconies.
