Nirarta Centre for Living Awareness

very clean, spacious room, good location, beautiful surroundings and amazing view

would be nice if there is a pool

A hidden gem! Amazing views, well tended garden and beautiful buildings. My room was spacious and very clean, with high quality furniture. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The whole place has a serene ambiance that just made me happy. It is also serving as a retreat center, with twice daily guided meditations that i found easy to follow and helping me to ground. It is optional to join but I highly recommend it.

Stunning views of the Sidemen Valley & river running past. My room was divine with the most luxurious bath tub & bathroom. Kind & attentive staff could not do enough to make my stay more enjoyable.

The view, the calmness of the place and the space…the bungalows were located quite far from each other so it made me feel like I am there alone. The room was spacious and nicely furnished, with huge bathroom. The view from the room was stunning (do not remember the name of the house but I stayed in the bottom floor in the house closest to the reception).

I liked everything. Only wifi was not super strong and you had to log in repeatedly.

In the nature, with a beautiful view on the rice fields.

The smell in the room was not nice, and it was not very clear if there were programs and how I should apply for it. No explanation.

Breakfast with a magnificent view on Mountain and rice field. Rich in flora and fauna, so much positive and mystic energie. Very peaceful place.

The guesthouse is beautiful, with wonderful views over the valley. The room was large, airy and had huge windows and a balcony to enjoy the view. A perfect place to relax and unwind. I went on a lovely guided walk through the ricefields and took a yoga class, both arranged by the guesthouse (luckily there was another guest to share the yoga cost as it was a private class).

Info on the website makes it look like there are a lot of activities like yoga, guided meditation etc, but this was more of an 'on demand' situation and as the owner was away, the offering quite limited. It was also a bit unclear what was or wasn't happening as the website was out of date and there was nobody on reception, and while the ground staff/ restaurant staff tried their best to help, they clearly did not have sufficient info/training to do so. So, I would recommend this more as a place to switch off and just relax than anything else, unless you have something pre-booked. Note - the chakra massage from the local holy man that the guesthouse can arrange is an interesting, if painful, experience. However, there are some aspects that could be extremely uncomfortable/triggering for others - hands on throat that may feel like strangling, hand on pubic area (this did not feel inappropriate to me, but may feel uncomfortable to others), and no adaptation of approach to account for discomfort. I recommend that this is very clearly communicated by Nirarta staff at the time of booking.

the views here are g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! for views across the peaceful surroundings, select the upper floor. the difference in price is worth it. for those working remotely, the wifi was adequate for VCs

not an issue for me, and just so others are aware - there is no one manning reception for check-in, orientation upon arrival, answering of queries etc instead, you’ll find detailed notes in your room. plus, I used the Booking messaging platform to communicate. the manager responded very quickly to all messages

everything! this place is AMAZING location 👌 rooms 👌 restaurant 👌 facilities 👌 helpful staff 👌 that view 💜
