Dhamma Nasika centreDhamma N±sik±, meaning 'Nose of Dhamma,' is situated on a secluded plot of land given by the Municipal Corporation of Nashik. The 17-acre triangular plot, about one-hour drive from Dhamma Giri, is on a high piece of land and protected on all sides. On one side is a proposed 100-feet road, on the other side is forested land and on the remaining side the boundary of the municipal area. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Dhamma N±sik± is yet within convenient distance of Nashik city. On all sides one can see the mountains of Sahyadri. The centre overlooks Nashik city. Gangapur Dam is about three kilometers away.

Ten-day courses have been held here since early 2004. Goenkaji has given many public talks in Nashik, including an inspiring talk on Dhamma service given on 5th March, 2005. He has also conducted non-centre courses here in the early days of spread of Dhamma.

Nashik has a large population of Vipassana meditators. The Nashik Vipassana centre will help to reduce the increasing demand faced by Dhamma Giri. Presently, and for the next few years, Dhamma N±sik± holds only unisex courses (courses only for either males or females), as the centre is too small to have proper segregation.
Current construction provides comfortable accommodation for 50 meditators and Dhamma workers. The assistant teacher' s room is ready and so is the Dhamma hall with the capacity of about 80. A block each serves as dining hall and kitchen. All student double-accommodations with attached bath and toilet.
In 2005, 15 ten-day courses are scheduled, as well as several three-day and one-day courses. The next stage of construction, which has begun, will provide a cell complex of 32 cells and administrative buildings.
