MEALS
Three meals a day are included when we are in retreat in both Parping and Maratika, but only breakfast and lunch are included during our days in Baudhanath.
Lama Glenn feels that this is the best policy because of the dozens of boutique restaurants and cafes in the Baudha area, many of which do not have seating for large groups.
