Unfortunately, it isn't possible to stay at Tushita unless you are attending one of our courses or retreats. We do not operate as a guesthouse and are not an ashram. It’s helpful to think of Tushita as a Dharma Centre which just runs courses and retreats on the dates listed on our Calendar of Events.

Courses at Tushita tend to be very popular and these days our courses tend to be at near capacity every time. Due to this we have very limited accommodation space, and so we make our rooms available only for:

* Students participating on our scheduled residential courses or group retreats.
* Experienced meditators doing their own individual STRICT formal Buddhist retreats (of a MINIMUM 10 days duration - see info on our Personal Retreat page here).

If you wish to visit Tushita but don't have the time to attend one of our Introduction to Buddhism courses or other retreats, then please consider staying nearby where there are a huge number of guesthouses (see Accommodation in McLeod Ganj). You are then welcome to attend our Drop-In Sessions, visit our library or use one of our Gompas in order to meditate by yourself (if available, please ask at the reception office first).

Please be aware that there probably will be courses/retreats running at Tushita during your visit, and so we kindly request visitors to respect the silence and not hang around in the communal areas chatting. Many thanks for your understanding.
