If you're curious about the Hare Krshna movement this is the perfect place for you❤️ Delicious indian food! You'll stay in a caravan with bunk beds, showers are located outside. The lounge/kitchen has rats :( and the place is small but improvements are underway right now! The temple is a 15min walk away for lunch. The work is physically demanding but fulfilling. I loved planting veggies! I regret i couldn't stay longer & participate in more temple activities. Thank you so much Krishna & Ramai

Ramai is a good person and good manager. He listen us and always question if we stay good here. All the experience have bad and good part, but with this I recommend this experience. The good is meet another volunteers and conection with them. Bad part is because the pictures in the Worldpackers isn't the same place we live (have this space but far from), some people from the religion Hare Krishna dont will be good with you and you need to know. And the kitchen isn't a good place to make deal, but they will change and I wish be good for another volunteers when they came.

L'expérience n'est globalement pas mauvaise, mais je ne me suis pas sentis à mon aise dans le "temple". Tout d'abord, il faut savoir que vous ne dormiez absolument pas dans les belles premières photos, mais plutôt dans des bungalow qui se situent à 15 minutes à pied du temple. Comme stipulé dans la plupart des commentaire, il a bel et bien des rats qui se balade dans la cuisine. En parlant de cuisine , sachez que la nourriture n'est pas mauvaise en soi, mais très répétitive, vous mangerez constamment la même chose à base de riz ou de pâtes pour les jours de chances...

Experiencia mala. Poco/nada contacto con la cultura. Tienen a los voluntarios muy aislados. La casa de las fotos no es el lugar donde te hospedan el cual esta muy sucio, inundado, con ratas, totalmente abandonado! Sin agua potable. Por otro lado, gran parte de la comida que ofrecen está vencida! Condiciones que no pueden ser normalizadas o pasar desapercibidas. El trabajo que me ha tocado fue de mi agrado. Era parte de lo que buscaba, más no repetiría en este lugar y lo desaconsejo. Hasta cambió mi visión sobre la cultura Krishna..Triste. Sobre yoga, no pude hacer, jamás respondieron.

Sentimientos encontrados: Las tareas y el trabajo estaban genial pero las instalaciones dejan mucho que desear, sobretodo la cocina. Era muy vieja, muebles estropeados, de 3 lavadoras solo funcionaba una y se hacía complicado siendo 20 voluntarios con tan solo una lavadora. Los baños cuando llegue estaban bien pero a medida que pasaron las semanas se rompieron dos duchas y no se arreglaban aunque lo avisamos varias veces. Por el contrario, el trato fue genial, Ramai y Krishna nos ayudaban en todo y eran muy amigables.

Personally, the experience was good. Unfortunately the host is missing a project or planning with his volunteers, they never gave me a tour of the facilities, the temple and the dormitory are two completely different places. In conclusion, the place is perfect and quiet for people who hate the city and need space to breathe and be calm, they will not lack food and housing, it is just a matter of adapting to some technical flaws that the facilities have due to day-to-day use. Thank you for everything, it was very nice to meet very good people, greetings to all and blessings.

Ramai was very welcoming and kind along with the rest of the staff. The work is easy and straightforward but there's not much work in the winter so it can be boring - would be better in summer. Other volunteers and I took initiative to utilize volunteer opportunities like milking the cows, helping in the preschool/kitchen, going on the school tour - this really enhanced the experience and made it worth it! Living quarters need a lot of work - very dirty and rats everywhere. There is also no yoga which was very disappointing. Fun but needs improvement overall. :)

My first volunteering stint was amazing! Ramai, always helpful and talkative, made the experience enjoyable. Accommodations were fine; comfy beds and heating kept me warm during the cold three weeks. Volunteers need to be committed and autonomous due to the diverse tasks. Cleaning and organization in shared spaces like the kitchen need improvement. Working in the garden was a joy, with friendly people. The food, especially on Fridays, was excellent, and there were delightful snacks twice a week. Participating in Hare Krishna activities was fascinating, showcasing their cultural commitment.
