A small study centre of the Krishnamurti Foundation India on a hilltop near the source of the Bhima, about 70 km from Pune. Visitors stay 2–5 nights to read and reflect in its Krishnamurti library, or join a monthly group retreat of dialogue, shared reading and talks on video.
Our take · editors' note
Suits: Suits readers of J. Krishnamurti wanting quiet self-study or a small monthly group dialogue on a remote hilltop campus near Pune, with your own room and meals.
Maybe not for: Not for anyone wanting yoga or guided meditation, phone and camera use, or easy access; the campus is remote and stays run two to five nights.
