Being in the Hare Krishna temple has been a very good experience. You can connect with the Indian culture and be part of their chantings, festivals, etc. Originally I was planning to stay for a month and I ended up staying almost 2 months. The job can be hard sometimes cause its farm job, but you lear more about vegetables and team work. I loved this experience cause I could connect with people from all different parts of the world. Hare Krishna!

It was an amazing experience. The work wasn't too hard, the hours were respected, the people there were so nice, the food was really good(but sometimes quite spicy) and the accommodation was comfortable and clean. Hare Krishna!

My first volunteering experience and it has been amazing!!! KC , Ramai and Achyuta are incredibly friendly and helpful. All the people working in the temple are super nice. I have loved the food! If you like Indian cuisine you will enjoy it a lot! Sometimes is a little bit repetitive but it's very tasty! Accommodation is fine as rooms (caravans) and beds are comfy. The only thing that needs to be improved is the kitchen. Wednesdays and Thursday are the days off and you have enough time to explore London or any other cities . There is a near bus stop to go to Bushey station for just 2£.

Hi, The experience was unforgettable, I meet amazing people among people from the temple and volunteers from different countries. This was the first time I work on a farm I felt excited of is in contact with nature. Also was a good opportunity to connect with my spirituality at the temple. If you like Indian culture, food (spacy), customs and his acknowledgement of spirituality this place is by you. The only thing I consider it's necessary be improved it's the accommodation, the spaces are small and the cleaning and organizations in the kitchen and dinning hall.
