Headquarters & Lodgings

We've rented two apartments on AirBnB:

• AirBnB 1: Jain Mandir Marg, Sector 4 (main summit location)
• AirBnB 2: Jain Mandir Marg, Sector 4 (breakout space)

There are a total of 5 beds available, one of which is a a shared space (less than ideal.)

We've also rented three double rooms and one single room in a hotel right next door to the AirBnBs:

• Ram's Inn: 7, Jain Mandir Marg, Sector 4, Gole Market,

7 beds total.

We've also rented three single rooms and one double room at a hotel that is a bit of a walk away:

• UDS Villa Scandinavian B&B: 22 Hanuman Road, Connaught Place

5 beds total.

All lodgings, except the double room at UDS Villa, are booked from 20th September until 29th September. The double room at UDS villa is booked from 23rd September to 28th September. We have a total of 17 beds.

Food

Breakfast and lunch will be delivered by a catering company; we'll likely focus on Vegetarian and Vegan food for these meals. Meatatarians will get their chance at dinner, which we will eat at some restaurant. But, consider that Indian food is incredibly rich, so there is much less need for meat. How vegetarian food should be!
