Guest introduction tours

Strolling along through the Auroville area may be difficult for guests who have freshly arrived. Often the residents are stopped on the road to hear the question: "Where is Auroville, please?" while one happens to be right in the middle of the township! The problem is that the city, besides one main tar road winding through the area, still mainly consists of a network of larger and smaller but always sandy roads and paths.. From time to time new sign boards with names of the various services or settlements may appear, - to somehow, mysteriously, disappear again..

Introduction for guests, students and future newcomers

A pretty comprehensive first insight into Auroville can be obtained during the 'Guest Introduction' weeks which are organised during the Auroville 'guest season', i.e. from approx half November till half March. Interested people who want to get some idea and peep behind the curtains are invited to participate. Also for newcomers this is an interesting tour to follow.
Well-informed Aurovilians, Ambre and Renate (one week tour) guide you through five days of information and fun. Also Aurovilian Ross guides visitors with a three-day tour. If requested beforehand, the Intro weeks can be organised for specific groups. 

A small contribution is requested. This includes lunch, bicycles, etc.
