Holiday villages and unusual accommodation Bodnath

Kopan monastery near Bodnath is known for teaching Buddhism to Westerners. The first meditation course was held in 1971. Teachings lasting between 5 and 10 days are given throughout the year (see the calendar on their website). You can also come on a Buddhist retreat, provided you have already been initiated, but the monastery does not offer Vipassana retreats. You can also stay at the monastery during authorized periods, or simply visit during the day. Decent clothing is required, but admission is free.
