- the price of the plane which depends on when you take your ticket between $2000 and $2500

The organization with accommodation, transport and all the speakers included $2000. This amount corresponds to accommodation + organization + transport of the group + speakers + various donations + singing lessons
The cost of the organization does not include food for 15 days, which costs $350 to $550. It is possible to find restaurants that serve meat, but India and Auroville are predominantly vegetarian.

Reservations
1st payment $500 to reserve your place at ayurnaada@gmail.com, password: India
It's a good idea to book your plane ticket as far in advance as possible. However, I think 6 to 3 months in advance is sufficient. Six months before departure, I'll send you the schedule and the plane that seems best suited to you, as well as the booking options.
The remaining payment will be due 2 months before departure, i.e. $1,500 before December 16, 2023.
Cancellation conditions
Deposit not refunded 60 days before departure (December 16)
In case of cancellation by Ayurnaada, the entire trip will be refunded.
