Well maintained, pvt room and bath, hot water and a/c, meditation hall, meditation cell (for old students), Metta... what more could one want. My previous courses had all been done in remote locations. This is the first one I've done at a center so close to a city. When in the meditation cell in the Pagoda (which is not a/c), you can hear the traffic and honking from the distant highway (sound travels up) but not a big deal, esp for old students..

It's a unique kind of meditation. One Must learn this pattern. Its a 10 days basic course. It's not only breath in and out, it is much deeper than that. When you complete your 10 days course, you feel the difference within you. A pleasant difference. One must try it atleast once in there lifetime. Totally safe and secure.

So yes first and foremost it is not a temple ,it is a meditation centre where camps of 10 days are been setup where people come together to learn mediation . And entry is restricted for people apart for people who come to meditate( the old students)

One of the best places to visit. Traveling down to this hill is more enjoyable ride. Very well maintained center. Professional and authentic center. One of the best days of my life i spent here. Food is the best i have ever had. Love this place for my lifetime. Always enjoyable walk from down to the hill. Rain season is my best. Management is top professionals. 10 days of my course and accommodation is unforgettable.

The meditation process of vipassana is excellent and helps in concentration and solving problems without confusion as mind becomes clear. About the facility: Great place to stay and meditate. Food is vegetarian and without onion and garlic but is tasty. Laundry service is available so no need to take many clothes. Meditation hall is very quiet but pagoda has noice from highway. So i recommend to meditate at the hall. Access: Only about 3 km from belapur station. You will get Ola or Uber auto easily. Also public bus available to return from centre. Overall good facility. I recommend that you understand basics of vipassana earlier itself and try to get best out of it.

Seawoods and Belapur both railway station are at same distance from the center. You can easily get auto rickshaw which will charge approximately Rs.50/- till the center. But still it is better to get down to Seawoods railway station because from Belapur auto takes Rs.80.

A quiet place on top of a hillock right in the middle of busy CBD Belapur(5 minutes drive uphill from Apollo hospital) offers a perfect spot for tranquil practise of vipassana meditation. Superbly managed facility and the course conducted seamlessly by volunteers and staff, makes it possible for the attendees to have a tranquil, trouble free experience. The schedule itself is ardous and keeps one busy from 0400 to 2130 hrs everyday. That said, one does not feel any lack of sleep and/or need for food beyond what is provided withing stipulated timelines. Neither does one face any troubles in following rule of noble silence all through the course. A self contained room with an ensuite bathroom is provided for each participant with aircon and hot water facility. Laundry service is also made available at reasonable cost. The course is completely free of charge and one may extend a donation after the course is over.

This vipassana centre is a boon to Navi Mumbai residents. I was fortunate to do my first ever 10 day meditation course here. The place is tranquil and the ambience is perfect. The food is vegetarian but super delicious. One has to adhere to the instructions and rules. The orgnisors, staff and volunteers are extremely helpful. If one goes here to find peace, happiness or whatever they desire, he/ she might get it only if they surrender to the experience. Be happy!

Good place to visit..they show us movie about what is vipasanna and how the structure is built..Vibrance of place is nice..but it is not allowed to enter the meditation hall . Overall u just want to go anywhere without seating at home..you can go... But not recommended for 1 day like trip

This pagoda is located on Parsik Hills in Belapur Navi Mumbai, this is first Vipashyana center in Navi Mumbai. Nearest railway station is Belapur CBD. Parking is available near pagoda. For Vipashyana at this place necessary to book in advance also you should have previously attended 10 day course at Igatpuri Dhamma Giri. Visible from Mumbai Pune Highway. And railway local train near Belapur station.

The experience one feels here is very sane and spiritual and is hard to put in words. I consider myself lucky to have managed to get admission for 10 day course and it is very life changing course one must take once in lifetime

If you want to just watch the view from here and see the beauty of pagoda then you should go around 6pm , the gaurd will allow at that time mostly . View of the sunset is epic from here. Nature amd height lovers must try to watch the sunset from here.

Located in Navi Mumbai, Dhamma Vipula is well connected by Harbor, Western & Central railway lines as well as by air and road. Situated atop Parsik hill & surrounded by forestland, it offers panoramic view of Navi Mumbai. Due to its location, Dhamma Vipula was built to cater to the senior professionals from the business and Government, who lead hectic lifestyle. The Center is a two storied spacious building accommodating approx. 100+ students. The Center is equipped with self contained residential rooms, dining hall & fully air conditioned meditation hall. In addition to 10-day meditation area, the center has a separate wing where regular short courses are conducted for old students and has a dedicated area for one day courses which are held on every Sunday for old students.

This is something which can be experienced, words are just not enough to explain. Its a Blissful feeling. Waking up morning at 4 amd sleeping at 9...away from all happening around... Away from your virtual world, Phone. Just with your own self. Meditating 11 hours a day. Strict time table but still everyone there working you to meditate properly in Noble silence. Amazing Experience.

Dhamma Vipula is situated on Parsik Hill, Belapur, Navi Mumbai. Free 1, 3 and 10 days Vipassana meditation courses are held here. Every sunday from 11 am to 5 pm group meditation is held here. Those who have completed 10 days course can attend. This is probably the newest and the most well run center for Vipassana meditation. A golden pagoda having 150 cells for meditation gives the center a magnificent look. The courses can be booked online on the website of Dhamma Vipula. org

Being in a crowded city like Navi Mumbai, one can visit this place for peace. It is located at Parsik Hill. One can take a auto or cab from Nerul or Seawoods station. It takes about 20-30 minutes from Seawoods station to reach by walk to Dhamma Vipul. The centre is very beautiful. One can see Dhamma Vipul from Mansarowar station to Vashi, if you are a good observer, while travelling by local. Landmark in this area is Apollo Hospital.

A place where they teach meditation as well as encorage you to meditate. The technique is based on Lord Buddha's meditation. It's a 10 day residential course that is offered here. They also have a pagoda which can be seen from highway

Vipassana, a very scientific technique for purification of mind is taught at this place which was reinvented and taught by the Buddha 2500 years ago. An half an hour session of mini-Anapana meditation technique which is introduction to Vipassana meditation is offered to every visitor at this place. There isn’t any fees charged either for mini-Anapana session or for 10 days Vipassana course.

Dhamma Vipula replicates the vipassana centre of Igatpuri. The atmosphere is so clean and green. Although this place is well inside Navi Mumbai but you never get a feeling of it. During the course it feels like you are at some hill station. The accommodations are very clean. The food served is very hygienic and healthy. One of the best meditation centre in and around Mumbai.

Parsik hills, this is where the centre is located. You have to take the road leading to JNPT & turn left on the signal, of appolo hospital, leading to mayors bungalow. Follow the small climb and guiding boards to reach. A very calming and quite area. Will post more post stay out there...

It's a good place.Surrounded by nature.Lot of trees.An ideal place to find peace.I got very good vibes.My personal experience avoid during Mahashivratri as the celebrations in nearby places might be bit louder and will be harder to meditate. But great place I will love to go again.

The Centre is located at the end of Parsik Hill in a very peaceful environment, offers various courses in Vipasana or meditation. If you just want to get an intro to what it is, just walk in. After you enter your details in security register, you will be escorted to enquiry office. Here you will be briefed about courses, overview of some important rules and the course organization. If you wish you can join a 20 minute audio on Anapana , a very basic intro followed by 10 minute practice. It advises you to practice it for about 10 minutes twice a day, I found it of great benefit. I strongly recommend you attend the audio session if you happen to visit the Centre. There are no commitmentss or anything.

This is a meditation centre run purely on voluntary donations and offers 10 days meditation courses free of cost. Situated on serene Parsik hills in total pin drop silence zone. Not a place of tourist attraction though ??

Exacellent place where you can spend about 1 hour and a half. You can reach the place either by road or by launch from Gorai jetty. The place closes down at 6 pm. The dome is lighted in the evening which looks very beautiful. It is very close to Essel World.

It was unique and refreshing experience in 7 th month of pregnancy. Vipassana technique is very pure and effective. Goenkaji's discourse in evening was most awaited event of each day wherein you will get all answers to questions arising in your mind each day. Dhamma teacher and sevikas were very helpful and kind. The location is very serene and has powerful vibes necessary for meditation. Food was satvik and tasty . Pregnant women get special attention and can have dinner , fruits and milk at night. Rooms were clean and well equipped with bed, mattress, blanket , table, chairs, hangers and cords to dry clothes. They have small garden and walkway to have morning and evening walks.
