Actually, Vipashana meditation can be done anywhere, as long as the wisdom of impermanence is ripe in the practitioner's heart. if you are willing and ready to say goodbye to all the luxuries in life and realize that you may die the next minute, and you're happy to embrace death as a process of continuum of your micro consciousness merging into the infinite macro consciousness, and practice dharma with every breath you take, any place is good. the state of the mind is the key to Vipashana, as one can go and do the pilgrimage to Bodhgaya without the realization of impermanence, and go back to living a toxic life after Ghaya, and the cycle is not broken, time not well spent

in Burma though, there are temples where one can live the life of a mendicant monk for a period of time. I knew of a billionaire that went to a temple there, lived the life of a monk, joined the monkhood in begging for alms, meditated with them, lived among the monks for a couple of months, realizing how fresh it felt to have absolutely nothing to your name, not even tissue paper, a dime or the next meal, as in he realized he can leave his human body anytime, without a baggage, cleansed his aura and meditated on his sins, etc. Vipashana comes naturally when the wisdom of impermanence permeates the person's very being, and when that happens, any place is a blissful paradise. when the warrior is ready, no battle cannot be won
