Spread over a large area. Its a very nice centre. The organisation and management is spot on. It has a lovely walking track, especially great for taking a stroll in the night.

20 minutes outside Kolhapur this is a very easy location to get to. You can take a bus but will need a tuk tuk to travel the remaining 10 minutes, unless you dont mind the 1hr walk. The centre is one of the larger ones in India. It Can fit 100+ in the main Dhamma meditation hall and another 50 in the secondary. Sleeping quarters are comfortable and clean. The centre runs on donations. Courses are 10 days long with some 20+ and some very short 1-2-3 day introductory for younger ages. Food is great also. I didnt take many photos because no phones aloud inside!

If the course teacher is late Mr. Satyanarayan Goenka ji, then there is no way this course can be rated less than 5 stars. This rating is not for the place, which is good too but for the way Vipassana is taught here (using the audio and video recordings of SN Goenka ji) and for every other Vipassana center for that matter. This place shows you the way to gain the knowledge and experience beyond this material world within your own body. If you are planning to take the 10 day Vipassana course, this place has the environment that the course needs. I wish you all the best. Goenkaji did his best to give a complete picture of Vipassana in the limited period of 10 days which is very less. Just follow the instructions diligently and you will gain much more from the course.

I took 10 days course here and it was indeed a great learning experience.How to reach: reach hatkanangale first through train or by bus (bus only come till kolhapur Only take hatkanangale bus which will cost you 30 rs Only - 40kilometer)From hatkanangale the center is 8-10 kilometers only. Auto take 100-150 Rs. From train station or bus station till center.

Review №74

To be True, One of the reason to attend Vipassana was that it was free, Nw after 10 days Im falling short of words to explain my experience. I feel that my decision of attending 10 days course was my best decision ever. Dont believe words come and experience thats what all I can tell. Everybody knows that we should not react to bad things but we dont know how to do that. Here they teach the unique technique. Here we learn to see things as it is without any discrimination without anger, hatred. Im very much Thankful to Management. Specially For there service, For 10days they serve breakfast, lunch wit superb buttermilk and evening snacks with superb high quality Milk and fruits. The menu for lunch was jus amazing I didnt expect salad, panner, jammun, etc to be served cos Now in present days no body takes trouble to serve high quality of food in free, that too for 10days. Nice Accommodation too, 10days I was very close to nature surrounded by peacocks, very quiet. Overall It was awesome n unforgettable experience, . Be Happy... Sabka Mangal Ho...
