1. Art of Living Ashram

The Art of Living International Center, a 65-acre campus located on top of the Panchagiri Hills outside Bangalore, is a popular destination for peace-seekers from abroad heading to India for the ashram experience. With mountainside trails, gardens, a lake and organic farms surrounding the facility, it's the perfect place to get some peace and quiet.

Guests who come from all cultures and religious backgrounds are invited to participate in voluntary service, helping with cooking, cleaning and general upkeep of the ashram.
