Visiting Auroville

May 26, 2009 in Travel by Admin

Between the lines
On the surface, Auroville can appear rather incomprehensible. It is an intense and challenging experiment, attempting the seemingly impossible, and one needs to be ready to actively participate in such an adventure. The meaning of Auroville only becomes clearer in the context of the vision of its founders, which has stimulated people from all over the world to join in this ‘laboratory of evolution’.
For casual visitors
Visitors to Auroville are sometimes disappointed to find here no Ashram, no typical tourist attractions or generally welcoming atmosphere. This is firstly because Auroville is quite different to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, where people are considered to have consecrated their lives to integral yoga (as compared, in Auroville, to an experiment in human unity), and secondly because Auroville is not a tourist place, despite being referred to in travel and tourist literature, and does not devote as much time and energy to welcoming tourists as sites established specifically for that purpose.
Casual/day visitors are encouraged to go first to the Visitors Centre , which is open daily from 9:00 to 17:30, and offers information, exhibitions, a video viewing facility, a cafeteria and shopping facilities.
Those who come with a deeper interest and actually want to visit one of Auroville’s projects should make an appointment with the concerned place through the Information Desk at the Visitors Centre.
Accommodation
Guest accommodation is available in various settlements around the township area. The charges vary between Rs 150 and over Rs 1000 per person per night depending on the type of accommodation and facilities provided. Pre-booking is advised, specially for the December to March and August-September periods. This can be done either through the Auroville Guest Service, located upstairs at the Solar Kitchen (avguests@auroville.org.in), or by contacting one of the guest houses directly.
 
On arriving you are kindly requested:
- to fill an ARRIVAL FORM from the Indian Authorities within 24 hours after your arrival. This is a legal requirement and required at each change of accommodation (even within Auroville)
- to obtain a GUEST CARD valid for the period of your stay (regardless of its length) at your Guest House or Guest Service or Financial Service (Town Hall and Pour Tous / Aspiration): you need to take your passport and some money.
- The Financial Service encashes foreign courrencies and traveller’s cheques and at the Town Hall can also accept your credit card. The Guest Service can accept only Indian Rupees.
