Read the exact date’s itinerary. Check English support and which activities are required or optional.
Confirm the room arrangement, included meals, dietary requests and the full charge with the organiser.
An empty result does not confirm availability. Contact the organiser if you need help finding your programme.
A THOUGHTFUL VISIT
Bring toiletries, towels, socks and suitable clothing; check the organiser’s packing list. Mountain evenings can require an extra layer.
Keep voices low, follow photography signs, remove shoes where requested and give worshippers space. Ask staff if an activity needs adapting.
Temple grounds can include slopes, steps and uneven paths. Confirm an accessible entrance and transport arrangements with the venue if needed.
