There is a Money  ATM directly at the ashram

otherwise credit-cards are working.

The Ashram is an Indian monastery and the rules for clothes

are based on the Hindu tradition. Hindus cover more then they show.

For this choose the right clothes, thin for sommer, thick and warm for winter

Soon the ashram will offer wi-fi, w-lan.

Mobile internet is possible, ask for local "what's going's"

Sim-cards you can get in Ranikhet or Chilianaula also.

-Money is easy to get in India, there are thousands of ATM money machines

in many cities and towns. Please ask your bank if your card is working in India.

These cards offer a quite good bank-rate for exchange.

-On the airport you should only change little ammount of money

because there the rate is not so good. In Delhi or big cities there

are money changers everywhere. Be careful !!!

-Hotels are of course many in Delhi.

We suggest "Master Paying Guest-house"
