Driving directions from Pune city

The Ananda Yoga Retreat is located outside Pune city off the main road going towards Lavasa. At Kharawade Village. Youll see a small but prominent building on your left with Masters picture and a sign about Ananda Krya Yogashram (the building houses Dr. Adityas clinic and the fruits of Ananda store). Keep going and approximately 2 km ahead, look for a concrete bus stop on your right. On its wall, youll see another Ananda sign pointing across the road to the turnoff for our land (on your left).

The turnoff is a dirt road 2 km long, somewhat challenging because of quite a few rocks and ruts. During monsoon season, it can also get quite muddy and full of puddles. There are now 2 more turnoffs to reach our land. The 1st will be after you cross the bridges and wind around a bit. This turnoff is not marked. Its on your right just past a small house close to the road. If youre at the correct place (and there arent too many houses on that road fitting this description), youll see a pair of small stone walls on each side of that road. Turn there and continue until you see a small structure on your left with an altar showing Masters picture. Turn left and you are now on a short driveway facing Seva house, where registration and meals are held. Park on the side of the driveway or at the top.
