meditation monastery stay

The views arw incredible, a dream. I was also lookinto forward to meditating with the monk. Breakfast was very nice as well! Location is also good just 7m walking to Ella on the rail tracks

There was no clear schedule as some days meditations just were cancelled with no notice and ther were no options for dinner even thought they offer that as an Option. Even though the place is amazing and i totally recommend it. The room is very simple but the views are a dream and personally i loved that meditations were included that was a big reason i booked this.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect - very close to Ella town, but still peaceful and surrounded by beautiful nature. The monks were very friendly and welcoming, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, and the view is truly spectacular! ⛰️ A lovely and unique experience in Ella, and we would definitely recommend it! 🤍

We did occasionally have an issue with the water in the bathroom, but overall it didn’t affect our stay.

Lovely people and such a special place! The mother of one of the monks took wonderful care of us together with a very young monk, and communication via WhatsApp with the monk who runs the place was always easy and smooth. We were warmly welcomed with tea, which was a lovely start to our stay. We stayed in the upstairs room, which was really nice and had a large bathroom. The terraces are wonderful places to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful views. We were served delicious breakfast and lunch, and our kids absolutely loved all the dogs, especially the little puppy! We also visited the beautiful temple and received very kind and interesting explanations from the man working on the temple paintings – very impressive! It’s an easy and short walk into town along the railway tracks, and you can take a tuk-tuk back for around 500 rupees. We really enjoyed our three nights here and would definitely recommend this special place. Thank you for everything!

The dogs are lovely, but there are quite a few of them, so this might be something to consider if you are afraid of dogs. There is also quite a lot of barking, and it can get a little noisy in the morning, especially in the downstairs rooms. One of the dogs even ate one of our shoes, so better keep your things inside your room! The whole place is truly beautiful and has so much potential. With a little more care and tidying up around the property, it could be even more charming and welcoming. Despite these little points, we were all very happy here and really enjoyed our three nights in this wonderful and unique homestay. It has a very special atmosphere and we’re very glad we stayed here. Thank you for everything!

breakfast was more than enough and the guest keeper is nice

the bed is very hard, the bathroom looked like as it had last been cleaned months ago. and the building looks like a forgotten place. can be tough to reach out so someone, as there is not always someone in and mails are not checkt regularly and phone is not always answered.
