Vanadevi Retreat

Vanadevi Retreat Centre is located at Mara Bend, Chamroli, near Maldevta in the quiet hills just outside Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Although close to the city, the retreat sits slightly off the main road to preserve its natural silence and seclusion. The final approach includes a short walk of around fifteen minutes along a gentle hill path, creating a soft transition into the surrounding forest landscape. The nearest airport is Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport, approximately 38 kilometres from the retreat. Travel time by car is usually about one hour. Guests arriving at this airport can easily hire a local taxi for a direct drop at the closest roadhead, and from there it is a peaceful walk to the retreat. If preferred, Vanadevi can arrange airport or station transfers for an additional cost. For international travellers, Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi is the most convenient entry point. From Delhi, guests can reach Dehradun either by a five- to six-hour taxi or private car journey, or by taking a train to Dehradun Railway Station, which is around 22 kilometres from Vanadevi. Taxis are readily available for the final part of the trip, and transport can also be organised through the retreat upon request.
