🏢 About the local organisation

Community of Krishna consciousness, a place far from urban life, where some families and devoted people live in a peaceful and quiet environment.

The motivation of hosting volunteers is to provide a nice and welcoming atmosphere for the guests of the camp.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be in the guesthouse of the community, females separately from males. There is no internet in the guesthouses. The food will be Hungarian-Indian, vegetarian or vegan. There will be meals together three times a day.
