JANGCHUP LAMRIM TEACHINGS (MUNDGOD 2014)

As His Holliness Dalia Lama once said " My religion is very simple -My religion is Kindness" immerse yourself in the sea of kindness and recieve the knowledge of love and peace from His holliness in the serene city of Mundgod Karnataka. The teachings will be held at Gaden Monastery between 23 December till 29 December 2014



Getting There. 

Easiest way to get there is take flight upto Goa and from there a Car to Mundgod. The distance from Goa to Mundog is approx 200 Kms (4 Hours). The cost of the private car and driver from the airport to the monastery will range between 3500-5000.

Accommodation 
Mundgod doesnt offer any hotels or resorts to stay however there is a good range of Hotels in  Hubli which is about 45 Kms away from Mundgod. 

If you are not expecting a lavish room, the Tibetan homestay can be retreat for you. 


Tibet Homestay: 

 The project Tibethomestay is a self economic empowerment project wherein a Tibetan family gets to open the doors of their home, open for any group or individual who wants to know more about the Tibetans in exile in India and in the meanwhile, they get to earn for their hospitality as according to the number of days spent by the guest, as a family member. each guest pays an amount of US$ 20.00 a day per person, from which the majority is paid to the host family (where the guest stays) and the payment to the local coordinator, and the rest is used as the administrative cost. The cost includes your  stay, three meals and an introduction to all the local NGOs and an introduction to local market. The cost does not include any tour or transportation however your host or our local coordinator will make sure you get the best price.

For a firm confirmation, the guests are  requested to deposit a 20% of the total amount with the homestay through PayPal. And they can latter pay  the remainder by any means, however the homestay need to have the total amount not later than the third day of their stay.


I would like to let you know that the Tibetans here in India live in exile as a refugee, so I hope you will not expect a lavish home in Mundgod Tibetan Settlement, nonetheless I must also let you know that all  host families are chosen on the basis of their hospitality, home location and space, and last but not the least, their close proximity to the cultural event. Each of the host family before being listed goes through an extensive scrutiny on parameters set up to ensure security, privacy, hospitality and a smooth experience to our guests who would be our family member. So please be assured that your stay with us would be a wonderful experience. 

Considerations: 
Mundgod like another Tibetan Settlement requires a special permit for the foreigners from the Department of Home Central Government of India.


All are Invited 

Thanking you 
Muzamil Nazir
