Jorhat Bauddha Vihar Society

A local Buddhist community in Jorhat

India Jorhat Theravada donation

At Tocklai, the Jorhat Bauddha Vihar Society is best approached as a local Buddhist society rather than a ready-made retreat package. Its address is in the Rajabari area of Jorhat, Assam, and the society runs by donation, a flexible arrangement for visitors who want to support its work according to their means. The lineage, regular activities, and visitor format are not something to assume in advance, so make contact before building a trip around meditation sessions. Ask whether a gathering is taking place, whether newcomers may attend, and what practical arrangements apply. Jorhat Airport is about four kilometres away, making the final leg relatively short, while the region's rainy months call for sensible wet-weather planning. Come with an open schedule and confirm the details directly.

Setting

The society's address is at Tocklai, in the Rajabari area of Jorhat, Assam. Jorhat is a practical base for exploring the area, but confirm a gathering before making a special trip.

A typical day

Plan around a confirmed gathering rather than assuming a fixed retreat timetable. Ask the society about start times, session length, meals, and whether visitors can attend for the day.

Accommodation

Lodging arrangements are not established here. Ask the society whether visitors can stay on site or should arrange accommodation in Jorhat.

What to bring

Pack light, breathable clothes for warm months and a light layer for cooler winter days. May, August, and September are especially wet, so bring rain protection and comfortable footwear; modest clothing is a considerate choice for a Buddhist gathering.
