Most rooms at Dunagiri Retreat have a view of Mahavatar Babaji's cave! The cave itself is about 5 km from the Dunagiri Retreat. Of these 5 km, first 3.5 can be covered via local taxis or one can walk; final 1.5 km is a delightful trek through a beautiful forest! To assist Dunagiri Retreat guests we can organise local taxis and/or a guide to Babaji's cave.
