Rules of the Ashram

All guests of the Ashram Surf Retreat are requested to follow the rules of the Ashram during their visit —

  • No Alcoholic Beverages permitted
  • No Smoking allowed
  • No drugs of any kind are permitted
  • No Non-vegetarian food permitted on the premises

You probably have this cultural awareness already because you are visiting India, but something we would like to mention for clarity is that due to the cultural sensitivity in the surrounding town/area (including the Ashram), everyone is required to wear swimming shorts and rash-guard/tee shirt, and to generally dress in a way that respects the local culture.

We also ask our guests to dress moderately here in general. Some tips: Men should avoid heavily sagging boardshorts. Women should avoid miniskirts and ultra-tight or revealing clothes. We are not fanatical at all, just want to respect the culture, try not to stick out like sore thumbs, and keep the harmony here. It took us many years to gain the trust of the locals and we would like to keep it that way.

Also if you are looking for premium quality surf clothing, you will find it right here in Mantra. Rashguards, boardshorts, surf tees, and a lot more available right here at Mantra Surf Club. You can know more about it here

  • Guests are recommended to bring their personal supply of surf wax (if bringing their own board), sunscreen and other skin care products that they may normally use. These items are otherwise very difficult/impossible to purchase in India.
  • There are banks and ATM machines in town, about 5 minutes from the Ashram.
  • There are also Travel Agents located nearby the Ashram where you can make various travel arrangements via air, train, taxi, and bus.
  • Useful Things You Can Donate - Some surf wax, a leash you don't use, old rash guards that don't fit, or any other surf accessory. It will be greatly appreciated by our team towards helping the young people of our community to learn the art of surf.

Thank you and we hope to be seeing you soon at the Ashram Surf Retreat.
