Vipassana Igatpuri 10-day course schedule

Clock one: the daily timetable (identical everywhere)

There is no separate "Igatpuri schedule." The hour-by-hour timetable for a 10-day course is set out in the Code of Discipline, and the tradition runs every course to it so that practice stays continuous. I have sat six courses at three centres in the United States, and the clock matched this published timetable to the minute at all of them. That consistency is the point: the day below is the day you would keep at Dhamma Giri too.

The three shaded rows are the mandatory group sittings in the main hall. The blocks marked "in the hall or in your room" are practice time, not free time. This page is logistics only; for anything about how the practice itself is done, the tradition reserves that for an authorized teacher inside a course, so ask at dhamma.org.

Clock two: the Dhamma Giri course calendar (the part that is actually Igatpuri-specific)

This is the half nobody pins down, because it changes. Dhamma Giri is the busiest centre in the tradition and runs 10-day courses almost continuously, with gaps of a week to several weeks where long courses and seasonal scheduling take over the hill. Here is exactly what the Dhamma Giri portal listed when I pulled it.

Snapshot only. Dates fill, get added, and occasionally move, so treat this as "what the calendar looked like on 29 June 2026," not a guarantee. Before you plan travel, open the live portal and read the dated course you intend to apply to.

What the schedule means for your calendar

A "10-day course" is not ten days door to door. You arrive and register on the afternoon and evening of Day 0, sit ten full days to the fixed clock above, and leave on the morning of the final day after a short closing. Noble silence runs from the evening of Day 0 through the morning of the last full day. So when you read a calendar entry like "5 to 16 August," that 5th is your arrival evening and the 16th is your departure morning.

The registration mechanics, including which of Igatpuri's three portals a new student uses, are their own topic. I wrote those up separately in the Igatpuri registration walkthrough, and the wider picture of what "Vipassana Igatpuri" even refers to (three centres, two booking portals, the Research Institute) sits in the Igatpuri overview.

For the record: I am a fellow meditator sharing logistics, not a teacher. Six courses across three US centres taught me the clock; they did not make me an authority on the method. Anything operational about the practice belongs with an authorized assistant teacher at a course.
