Karmê Chöling’s program participants and in-house retreatants have a variety of accommodation options. We offer private single rooms, shared rooms, and dormitory housing. During the warmer months, our campground is open; we offer Wooden ‘Tent’ Cabins and KCL’s tents, or you may bring your own tent. 

Retreat cabins are strictly for use through the retreats department.
