Food and Water

The food served at Sangam is a mixture of Indian and Western, and both vegetarian and non-vegetarian is available.  Usually lunch is a typical Indian meal and dinner is a Western meal.  Breakfast is Western with an Indian dish included occasionally.

Food in India varies greatly as you travel from state to state.  As Pune is in the state of Maharashtra, the Indian meals served at lunchtime are traditional to this area.   They are vegetarian and include rice, local vegetables, dahl (form of curry), chapatti (Indian flat bread), and fruit, along with other specialities. Spices are served separately so that people may add as much or as little as they want to suit their own taste.  Your programme will include the opportunity to eat meals out at one of the many restaurants in Pune - South Indian, Punjab, Tandor and Goan), Italian, Thai, Fast Food, Iranian, Chinese etc., so you will have the opportunity to experience different foods.

If you have any special food requirements, please ensure that they are listed on your enrolment and health forms.  Sangam will cater to your needs wherever possible.  

Snack foods and other treats are widely available at grocery and convenience stores for your onward journeys.  There is no need to bring a lot of food with you from home.  There is a refrigerator available for  guests to store drinks, snacks, medications etc. while they are here.
