Located on the outskirts of Nashik, Vipassana International Academy offers a variety of courses on spiritual healing. People from various parts of the country and the world visit here to seek solace from the chaos of the modern world and achieve inner peace.

Vipassana is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation that is based on self-purification with the help of self-observation. Housing 400 cells for individual meditation, the centre conducts courses in English and Hindi. All the expenses of the classes are met by those who have completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana in their lives. What makes the centre popular is its serene surrounding and close proximity to Mysore, which is around 40 km from here.
