Incoming guests policy

If you have had any COVID-symptoms within the last 7 days or were in close contact with somebody who tested positive or showed any symptoms, please postpone your visit to the monastery.
We feel that these measures represent an adequate level of safety and trust that everyone will make responsible decisions based on their circumstances. But please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee total isolation or complete safety from getting COVID-19 and that you are visiting Aruna Ratanagiri at your own risk.
