Things to know
Meals are vegetarian and special, cooked with love.
Temperatures can drop quite low (range of 15°C to 1°C). Warm layers work best so pack accordingly. Perhaps a thermal inner, full sleeves T-shirt/shirt, lined pyjamas, a warm jacket/sweater, muffler, socks, gloves. Sandals/slippers that you can slip-on easily even with your socks on. This is important since shoes are left outside the living areas.
A pair of comfortable walking/hiking shoes for trails.
Dormitory
Comfortable large bamboo and mud loft aka Adda, with dorm style sleeping and super comfy cosy bedding. Indian and western style common toilets with hot water showers. Everyone loves the Adda!

P.S. - We have super friendly dogs on site so incase you don't like dogs or are super scared, this might not be the right place.We will be happy to help with the travel logistics and bus/taxi bookings post registration so don't worry about thatÂ
Best to plan for arrival by 3pm on 28th Dec. It will not be possible to come to the Centre post dusk so if it gets late on 28th Dec., you will need to stay overnight at Nainital and then come to Geeli Mitti the next day morning.
