Visthar (NGO) Reviews

Beautiful place! its an organisation contributing to a socio-cultural and environmental awareness. Bhoomi hubba is a festival organised by visthar to promote justice, peace and sustainable communities

Good place to have conference, retreat and new learning life style

Good to see the arrangements made...but needed few maintenance to make this better

Peaceful place to conduct off-site meetings and unwind

Eco friendly place... Service could be more better to strive for excellence...

A haven amidst this bustling world of Bangalore, a reflective meditative space you can retreat into to be energised to achieve great transformation

Was here for team outing. Good green place to relax for weekends away from concrete buildings. Food here is good.

It's a place to organise company meetings and programmes and functions ....

Beautiful, serene space conducive for workshops and small gatherings.

Quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Eco sanctuary, tasty food and friendly staff at service. Since the area is huge it would be good to have extra manpower to keep the place little more clean and tidy. Cottages are priced at nominal rate and origami paintings adorn the walls perfectly. Kudos guys.

This place is wonderful compared to the busy city life I felt that I took a break from city life it was a awesome experience

Finding a 6.5acre truly green campus was a refreshing sight..As a part of the company's initiative (where I work), all of members participated in a day long community service. This involved tilling a portion of their land for crops and making paper crafts..following which we got a tour of the place and a brief discussion on their efforts as an NGO for helping social causes. They had several young members from one of their centres perform an excellent drama on educating people about problems of using plastic and to use alternatives where possible to save the planet from plastic waste.

At lunch time, we were all served a hot and wonderful home type meal which was relished by the group at the cool shelter nearby the kitchen. Most of the vegetables used in the food were from the land in their campus. Depending on the season, they do sell some of their produce. Some members purchased amlas which were fresh and right kind for just eating or for pickles.

They also have a nice nursery at the entrance selling varities of plants and garden accessories/decorations.There is enough parking space at the entrance for a large number of vehicles.

Overall a really nice experience for a day trip to Visthar.

This is only campus maintained environment, eco friendly and organic methods also people are friendly.

Beautiful place... But the road is too bumpy nd too much pollution on the way.. nice place for photography though

Loved it....so close to nature ! Great experience and very warm people .

Great and peaceful place. Filled with greenery and away from the city's hustle bustle.

A nature friendly place, ideal for small gatherings

Eco friendly place for camps, retreat for all religious groups

Superb place...
Had a great expirience. Away from the hustle of banglore traffic. Fully surrounded with nature. Nicely designed place. A very good place to have conferences and get together. Food is also very decent and good quality. The ambiance is mesmerizing. A very good place to relax. Staff out there are also very helpful.

Very beautiful, green and clean campus in Bangalore close to airport, ideal for workshops, camps, retreat, conference, etc. for small as well as large groups... can host several groups simultaneously... very professional service, friendly and energetic staff, very cooperative... good food, you have to clean your own plates... nature friendly place with lots of trees and vegetation... rooms are neat and clean... lot of open space around for walk. Highly recommended for NGO events. Even international events are feasible as Bangalore has an international airport which is just 40 mins away.

Nice quite place, they are an NGO, they open up their place for public to raise funds, they organize small family get-together, marriage and other corporate events, they also arrange for work from home environment in their place with table chair and wifi with morning and evening tea and afternoon lunch for just 500/- per person,

Awesome place, good recreation work done here... Peaceful aura all round..

Place for hosting workshop and also very good food.

Visthar is Excellent space to retreat and renewal of your body, mind and soul. It has spacious farm and organic garden. It hosts natural biodiversity in the surroundings. Visthar has beautiful conference halls, accomodation and tasty ethnic food. A Must visit when you are in Bangalore. Visthar also offers best training and courses on Social transformation. Gender and enviornmental justice is the most connected and offered theme. A radical and community led interventions is what makes Visthar an unique organization. One must visit their shop for handicraft items and recycled paper making room. Manthana- a place to meditate and to get connected with your soul is cant be missed on. Overall its an opportunity to be in this lovely space, dont miss guys.

Wonderful place to stay as a family or group of people with lot of greenery. Out of noisy traffic of Bengaluru. Good food and nice rooms!

Amazing place, children loved it to fun and play the whole day. People are very accommodating. Loved the bakery goodies.

As a location for overnight stay and having conferences and meetings in a quiet tree laden place within Bangalore, this place gets my top marks. why i gave 3 stars is the cleanliness of the restrooms, the sleeping areas and the food. some of us developed stomach issues after the second meal. while it may be coincidental, the quality and taste of food is not upto the mark. a lot can be improved.
mosquitoes are another menace. not sure if anything can be done as there is a lot of greenery but some control on the number of mosquitoes would be greatly appreciated. cockroaches were also found a plenty.
meeting/conference rooms were okay - served the purpose. projectors could not connect, mobile network was iffy most times.
would i go back again? maybe.
would i recommend it to others? maybe
not impressed but meets the purpose and the price point.

Nice place for workshops....but lot of mosquitoes.....good service

It was wonderful experience to spend a day in Nature's lap

Fantastic place.. abundant greenary.. secluded but far from driving perspective... Lots of cultural events and other off beat events happening.... A must visit place...

Very good place. Away from banglore city life.
The issue is the well is too open and second thing there are a LOT of mosquitoes. Everyone MUST carry mosquito repellent cream.

Terrific workshop space, though a bit hard to find.

Visthar is awesome place I liked it very much, nice gardening

One of the best centre in Bangalore for training, events, interaction on socio cultural and environment initiatives. Well managed eco friendly centre is a must visit place for development professionals and activists.

Very eco friendly campus. People are really helpful and sweet. Bhoomi habba was great.

Experience Serenity and calmness ... With the Earth

It is a nice place to visit and lost yourself for a day from Hectic traffic and Horrible noises of Bangalore city.
