Shri Kali Ashram is located in Sadolxem just 5km up from the mouth of the Talpona River, an estuary, surrounded by coconut and mango trees. Talpona River originates in the dense, mixed jungles of Ravan Dongor in between Nane and Kuske on the Sahyadri Mountains. It comes down by passing Bhatpal, fed by the tributary, also named Bhatpal, and drains into the Arabian Sea near the village of Talpona. The river develops a length of around 31km, and a depth varying with the tides between 1m/3ft and 3m/10ft. It has three other tributaries named Nadke, Gaondongrem, and Khalwade. Surrounded by forested hills and near one of Goa's largest nature reserves (Cotigao), here we have the opportunity to develop our community in a peaceful environment well-suited to the relaxing immersive study and practice of Traditional Tantra and Tantra Yoga.
The weather in Sadolxem is optimal for yoga. The average high temperatures range from 31C/ to 36C. The monsoon begins around April and goes through to October. In addition to yoga, visitors to the local areas enjoy swimming, sunbathing, hiking, kayaking, dolphin watching, Āyurvedic massage and Panchakarma cleanses. Local ceremonies exhibit an integral system and culture that have been well-preserved.
