Experience the Bhutan Nepal Foundation Complex—a spiritual sanctuary for meditation, retreats, cultural visits, and academic research.

The Bhutanese Refugees' Historical and Cultural Complex (BRHCC) is available for advance reservation by members of the Bhutanese diaspora and international community members interested in spiritual retreats, meditation, cultural visits, or academic research stays.

Amenities

The Bhutanese Refugees' Historical and Cultural Complex (BRHCC) has three self-contained studios or apartments, each with a private kitchen, private bathroom, and meditation space. The BRHCC is enclosed by a concrete wall topped with iron grills and includes a haun kunda, tulsi mot, Tulsi garden, Freedom Corner, and a public kitchen.

The surroundings are filled with a variety of flowers, betel nut plants, mango trees, Malacca trees, and other plant species that create a peaceful environment. At least a dozen species of birds inhabit the boundary walls, creating a pleasant and calming atmosphere during the morning and evening hours.

This place is ideal for a week-long or extended stay, especially for those seeking spiritual rejuvenation and personal renewal. A group of six to eight members can comfortably stay, preparing meals in their private kitchen, cooking together in the public kitchen, or enjoying outdoor dining at nearby restaurants in the Charali area, which are within walking distance.

BRHCC is adjacent to Srimonnarayana Devasthan, where guests may attend morning and evening worship services.
