One Day Tour
Greetings and Namaskar from Govardhan Ecovillage. Serene and untouched by the modern world. This beautiful jungle ashram is set over 85 acres, just a 2-hours’ drive from Mumbai, India – in the foothills of the Sahyadri mountains. The ashram was built with love following the vision Radhanath Swami had of creating simple living and high thinking. We are humbled to be recognised by UNWTO with an award for sustainable tourism.
One of our very special activities include the Day Visit/Tour wherein one can explore our Vrindavan Forest along with the daily chores that happen. On this Day Visit, one gets everything to know about this Vrindavan Forest nestled in the lap of nature. This is followed by a guided tour where our representative provides every bit of information about the Vrindavan Forest . This Day Visit at Govardhan Ecovillage provides you with the opportunity to explore the unexplored serenity of nature along with some exclusive species of birds chirping through the dense forest that makes you wonder the ecstasy showered by Mother Earth. At the end of this Vrindavan tour, you are certain to have some great memories that you’d carry for long, wondering what you have been missing for all these years.
There are absolutely no charges for day visit except meals. Our Guided Vrindavan forest tour is also available for free. It takes a maximum of 2-hours’ for a complete tour of our Vrindavan Parikrama.
