Yes, it is entirely possible for foreign tourists to stay at specific Buddhist monasteries, but it is not treated like booking a hotel. You are joining a serious spiritual retreat, not a holiday resort.

Places like the Nilambe Buddhist Meditation Centre near Kandy highly welcome foreigners. You live alongside the monks, wake up at 4 AM, eat very simple vegetarian meals, and spend your entire day meditating in absolute silence.

You must book these retreats well in advance through their official websites. You are strictly expected to follow their rigorous rules, wear modest white clothing, and completely disconnect from your mobile phone.
