I wanted to say that this is the most amazing Vipassana centre across India, but at the same time, being a Vipassi i also feel that Every Centre all around the world has its own charm and uniqueness. So Dhama Shikara is very unique and at a very amazingly beautiful location "Dharamshala

About vipassna I have no words. But this review is not about Vipassana meditation but the facilities available at Mcleodganj meditation centre. No doubt this centre is located in the area which is most beautiful and in the lap of nature but meditation is not all about that. In meditation we have to close our eyes and concentrate. Overall facilities available at this centre is good but but there are dormitories which have common bathrooms, not attached bathrooms and sometime bathrooms are located outside the dormitories so it is difficult in the extreme weather specially in the cold to go outside and take a bath. In this centre there is no Pagoda cell. And the most disturbing factor for me was the monkeys which make so much noise that it was difficult for anyone to concentrate at least for the beginner.

The Dharamshala vipassana centre is a small centre nestled among pine trees. The location is beautiful. There is a small path to walk around the centre during the course. It can accommodate about 35-40 men and women each. Beware of the monkeys though.
