Everything You Need to Know Before You Travel.
What is the intention behind Arunamangala Retreat Centre?
Arunamangala is not a commercial resort—it is a sacred space for inner stillness, self-reflection, and conscious living. Nestled near the holy Arunachala mountain, the retreat is designed to support meditation, spiritual practice, and a simple, earth-connected lifestyle in silence and harmony with nature.
What kind of accommodation is available at the retreat?
The retreat offers earth-built, rustic accommodations using mud walls, stone, and natural materials that stay cool without air-conditioning. Each space is designed to be minimal, sacred, and close to nature—inviting simplicity, introspection, and a slower rhythm.
Are meals provided during the stay? What type of food is served?
Yes, wholesome sattvic meals are freshly prepared using produce from our organic gardens. Food is seasonal, vegetarian, and served with love. It is simple, nourishing, and aligned with the spiritual intentions of the space.
How can I book a retreat or inquire about availability?
You can send us an enquiry through the Contact Page with your dates, group size, and retreat purpose. We review each request individually to ensure it aligns with the ethos of Arunamangala. Once reviewed, our team will get back to you with details on availability and next steps.
I feel drawn to Arunachala but don’t follow a specific spiritual path. Can I still stay at Arunamangala?
Absolutely. Arunamangala welcomes all sincere seekers, regardless of spiritual background or tradition. What matters is your intention to pause, reflect, and be present in the sacred atmosphere of Arunachala. This space invites quietude and inwardness—not ideology—offering a still ground for anyone wishing to listen deeply to themselves and the silence of the mountain.
What kind of accommodation can I expect at Arunamangala?
Our rooms are built with natural materials like mud, thatch, and stone. They are rustic, cool, and minimal—designed to ground you in simplicity. There are no air-conditioners or luxury fittings, but every corner is sacred, clean, and conscious.
Is mobile phone or internet use allowed?
We encourage limited use of mobile devices during your stay to preserve the retreat’s atmosphere of stillness and inner focus. While there is mobile coverage, we suggest you disconnect from digital distractions as much as possible.
What should I bring for my stay at Arunamangala?
We recommend bringing simple, comfortable clothing suitable for warm days and cooler nights, a personal journal, any items needed for your spiritual practice (like mala, yoga mat, etc.), and an open heart. Since this is a natural setting, do bring eco-friendly toiletries and mosquito repellent if needed.
