    Welcome

    A Home at the Confluence

    ShantiLokha is an ashram homestay on the banks of the Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and mystical Saraswati converge.

    The Rhythm

    The Rhythm of ShantiLokha

    A simple room with a white-sheeted bed, a small window and a brass bowl

    Rest

    Simplicity at heart; in our rooms, in our courtyards, in the kitchen. Clean spaces. Comfortable beds. A place for body and soul to fully relax.

    Ritual

    India is built on ritual. ShantiLokha was created as a space to step into that; meditation, yoga, Sanskrit, aarti by the river. All things are practice here.

    Roam

    A space for wandering; outward to the confluence, the temples, the Immortal Tree, or inward through stillness; whatever the moment needs.

    "In an oasis of tranquility in one of India's holiest places, located right next to the Sangam and just a minute's walk from the Sacha Baba's Ashram, a traditional Vedic ashram with morning and evening arati and a mandir brimming with indescribable energy. The ashram alone is worth the trip, and to stay right next door in a peaceful, welcoming, family-like atmosphere with delicious traditional food. What more could you ask for?"
