CHITHURST BUDDHIST MONASTERY
How to Book
(Updated on 19 October 2024)
The men's and women's accommodations are located separately in the monastery, so bookings are also made separately. Please note that we are unable to guarantee single rooms for any guests.
Male Guests
Male guest stays are currently available for a three-night minimum duration. In order to reduce the number of cancelled reservations, we do not accept booking requests more than two months in advance. For example, if you would like to request a stay beginning on August 10, please submit your request on or after June 10.
Female Guests
In November and December we are winding down for the coming 3-month winter retreat (January to March). During these last two months of the year, female guests who are interested to serve at least one month of the winter retreat are invited to stay for a two-week trial prior to acceptance. So, we have limited resources to receive new guests staying for a short period of time during these last two months. However, if you have stayed here before and are able to stay for at least two weeks in November or December, we may consider your request.
Otherwise, if conditions permit, we will be open to new guests next April. The minimum stay policy might be revised depending on situations then.
