Description
Our Hostel is a Community Hostel for Backpackers in Auroville, Pondicherry.
Our (Nikhil) place focus is on the people who just wanna be themselves and experience the special energy that surrounds Auroville. Here you can learn about permerculture or diversity and unity. There are movies, pizza nights and jam sessions. You will have evenings with people you just met, but have known for years.
It is the place for people who just put good energy out or the ones who are not sure they belong anywhere, here you can experience we are all one!
See you
Also, we got a mud pool ;)

As the hostel is still developing we are in need of people who can actually built stuff. So if you have experience in building and still enjoy it, help us :)
For us it is important that while you volunteer you feel at home and are able to do what you enjoy. We trust, that you know what you can being to our place better than us.
And if you have ideas or need time to volunteer on a farm in the morning just talk to us.
