Anandgram - A serene place nestled in nature, it's a Health & Mindfulness Centre that offers a soulful retreat. With organic farming, pure vegetarian meals, and fruits straight from the orchard, it's a haven of mindful living. Daily meditation grounds you, while inspiring programs for local school kids add heart. Meeting travellers from France, Israel, Sweden, and Indian cities creates deep connections. Anandgram is where simplicity meets peace—a space to breathe, reflect, and live by discovering oneself. Strongly recommended! Thanks.

It is a quiet place, you can appreciate India in a different way, connect with your interior during your free time and the tasks to be performed are quite simple, you have the opportunity to connect with locals and of course other volunteers.

The place itself is nice the host is also okay. From the list of things offered for the volunteers the meditation is the only one i saw happening (it seeme nice i couldnt join cause i was feeling sick). Maybe they do have more activities if u ask, but since no information was given i assumed they didn't have. The job its very heavy it didn't feel like a volunteering ...felt like a part time job that u don't enjoy. Also no breakfast is available... again in contradiction of what was offered in here. I wish all the best to everyone there. Thanks 🙏

Dear Thiago,
This is a holistic retreat center for healing and dropping seriousness. Meals are at 11 AM and 5 PM, clearly mentioned in our profile and on the notice board—you knew this. To join activities, check the board, ask someone, or talk to the admin. But you showed no interest or participation. I invited you to the temple, but you didn’t come. Even later, you stayed distant. Volunteering also means being a bit social. Opening up helps the healing.

Warm regards.

They greeted me interestingly, even sprinkled me with flower petals. That's all I can say that's good. If you work fast and well, you'll have a lot of work, like I did. They basically want you to work 5 hours, so you can do any job for a long time, even simple ones. They fed me twice a day. I left there without being there for a week, after they told me to wash their car, which I laughed at and refused. This is not correctional labor, this is volunteer work, and washing a car is not one of them.

Anton was welcomed with warmth and flowers, following the Indian tradition of treating guests like gods.

He stayed only two days, avoided most tasks, seemed irritable, and left without informing anyone.

Our kitchen is open all day, and volunteers can eat freely. The expected work is just 4–5 hours a day, yet he made no effort to contribute.

His negative review is baseless and unfortunate. We wish him well and hope life brings him more clarity and understanding.

Incredible experience I had in the Center for more than one month. I had the chance to participate first to a meditation retreat and then to volunteer. I learned a lot about meditations, healings which helped me to be more aware and present in the moment. Raman is a person with a beautiful energy who will help you to get into your real yourself, and always with love. If you want to live and learn the Indian culture, it is also a good place to experience it. Basically, I had a really good time where I could reconnect with the nature and my own God. Thanks a lot for everything ✨
