I recently visited Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, and stayed there for 4 days. This article is to help people, about how to reach and stay there, budget friendly.

How to Reach Isha center in Coimbatore 

If you are travelling by air, you can book an auto (uber auto) from coimbatore airport to Gandhipuram bus terminal (Auto charges : 100-130 INR). If you are travelling by bus, drop at Gandhipuram bus terminal only. There are direct buses plying from Gandhipuram bus terminal to Isha center. Price of the ticket is INR 40. Otherwise, you can always book a Cab. (For taxi booking, please contact Isha travel desk 0422-2515430 email- travel.desk@ishafoundation.org)

How to book an accommodation at Isha center in Coimbatore 

Basically, there are 3 types of accommodations available :

1. Nadhi Cottages — Price is 850 INR per day. 2 people can stay in a room. 2 time meals at the bhiksha hall is included.
2. Nalanda deluxe Cottages — Price is 2400 INR per day. 2 people can stay in a room. 2 time meals at the bhiksha hall is included.
3. Dorms — Staying at Dorms is free, but is available only for volunteers. Inner engineering course is a pre-requisite to be a volunteer.

In order to book the cottages, you need to contact the authorities via email — ishastay@ishafoundation.org. For accommodation related queries, you can also call at 04222515470-71.  During the busy season (like mahashivraatri), they totally deny any availabilities, but if you request them a little over e-mail, they will book it for you. It worked for me, atleast. You just have to fill up a form sent by them, and payments are done only upon the arrival.
