Price

For this trip, you need to count on:

  • the price of the plane which depends on when you take your ticket between $2000 and $2500
  • e-Visa: $ 70 for 30-day visa

  • 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.

  • The price of the organization does not include the option of various wellness treatments (e.g. a massage 2500 rupees approximately $50)

  • Private transportation outside the group (e.g. taxi from the airport to the guesthouse) is not included in the price of the organization.

  • Small budget for personal purchases

100 rupees = $1.65

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.
