Getting there by Train
There is a train station at Wingello but someone will need to collect you and drive you to Vejjasala which is a few kilometres away, so it may be better to get a lift from another attendee. The retreat booking forms have an option to nominate that you would like a lift. There are only a few scheduled stops at Wingello per day as it is a small station. You will also need to contact the retreat coordinator to arrange someone to collect you from the station or the nearby Wingello Store. Note: Wingello station is not wheelchair friendly.
