Whether you want to attend one of our courses, do a retreat, or stay privately for a while for self study or reflection, Kopan is the right place.  You are welcome to extend your course or retreat course by a day or two at the beginning or end. You are also welcome for a day visit. 

Stay Privately

Guests can stay at Kopan only during private stay periods. These are included in our Course Calendar page, if no information is there, it means we are not offering private stays.
