Marvel at the 20-tonne Enchanted Cave, filled with millions of sparkling amethyst crystals, and explore 5 hectares of subtropical botanical gardens, including a regenerated rainforest with 10,000 native trees.

Walk the Crystal Labyrinth, inspired by the 800-year-old Chartres Cathedral, and touch the Kalachakra World Peace Stupa, personally blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Your Day Pass includes a Crystal Singing Bowls session (12 pm and 3 pm), a Crystal Meditation session (1:30 pm), and a Guided Tour (11 am). Enjoy wholesome vegetarian meals at the Lotus Café, then browse the Castle Jewels store for unique crystal keepsakes and artisan jewellery.

A truly unforgettable experience awaits!
