Does anyone know of anywhere that I can go in the Himalayas or India so that I can live life free from people? A monastery would be acceptable. Just somewhere that I can have food, clothes, shelter, and freedom from interaction with anyone. Preferably somewhere on a mountain or in a mountain range.

I am serious. It has been my dream to live quietly in the East, alone on a mountain, and now it's my only option to keep me from killing everyone I know.

Peace.

This might be a good movie to watch: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758758/

Also maybe read "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau.

Good luck, I looked into Christian one's and they always looked harder than living a normal life, but that was what I was looking for. If you do want to get into a "cool" monastery there might be a waiting list because people have been wanting to sign up at the spur of the moment instead of through dedication to a god or ideal. About 2-5 years seemed the average when I looked. But I am sure there are ones which do not require the wait, but I wouldn't expect them to be the cool mountain range ones. Also you might want to think about getting some recommendations to go there sort of like you were applying for a job. Maybe learn the language (which would take up your 2-5 years right there).

I hope you find something great. It would be a little easier to just pick a religion and go to their service every week but that's probably not what you're looking for. There is probably a legal side of this to look into as well, such as how long you're legally allowed to stay abroad and stuff like that.

Goodluck

Expect nothing, or you will get caught up in the future and not pay attention to the present. Just do the practice diligently, do it because you enjoy it, do it because you believe in it. Don't wait for results, don't wait for it to happen.
