Recently, I had a chance to experience a 2D1N short retreat at Alokarama. Alokarama is Located on a 20-acre orchard near Asahan in Tampin district, at the foothills of Gunung Ledang, with durian trees, banana trees , seen and unseen beings ..hmmm…

Alokarama is a beautiful place, peaceful (no tv, no signals( except certain spots), no newspaper), birds chirping, the scent of jasmine in the air ( we missed the durian season by a few weeks), a conducive place to discover and learn about oneself
Snippets :
Lotus in bloom
Kuti – monks hut/ quarters for monks that reside in a temple compound - almost like a studio with attached bathroom huh ?
Gunung Ledang / Mount Ophir ( height 1276m)
Misai Kuching – one of the many herbs at Alokarama Herbs Garden. The plant is used for treating ailments of the kidney, bladder stone, urinary tract infection, liver and bladder problems, diabetes, rheumatism , gout, to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Misai Kuching has a mild diuretic action, useful for flushing the kidneys and urinary tract.
Everyones needs to go…
May you be well and happy
