Welcome to Govardhan Ecovillage
Cloaked with blue mists and nestled at the foothills of the Sahyadris, at just a 2-hour drive from Mumbai, lies the Govardhan Ecovillage. The gorgeous Yoga and Ayurveda retreat, promises tranquillity and change of pace from the hurried life of the city. This 85-acre lush haven also serves as a sustainable farming community, inviting you to experience a wiser, ancient way of life.
Govardhan Ecovillage is a model farm community and a wellness retreat that signifies the importance of living in harmony amongst ourselves and the nature. Being a community that adheres to the rules laid down by the nature, we thoroughly believe in vegetarianism and offer pure sattvic vegetarian food (no onion & garlic) to our beloved devotees and visitors. Being a ‘Pure Vegetarian Resort’ is one of our many USPs, which we take pride in. Today, more people have decided to go vegan for ethical, environmental or health reasons and adhering to this notion of being an animal and nature friendly retreat, we at Govardhan Ecovillage promote a sattvic vegetarian diet that not only fulfils your physical needs but also enlightens the sanctity within yourself.
