A very peaceful place to visit. It's actually a working farm (crops and livestock). On the property is a large building that contains a masjid, wudu facilities and meeting hall where zikir and other observances are held. The dergah is run by Sheikh Abdul Kerim, kalifah of Sheikh Nazim al Haqqani. There is a group of about a dozen murids who live in the dergah or in the nearby communities. The dergah recieves a steady flow of visitors fron NY, NJ and throughout the world. People go for the scenic beauty and to attend daily zikir and special occasions (eids, special nights in shabaan, Ramadan, Rajab, etc). In my opinion it is a wonderful place to visit. If feel a peace of mind and a level of spirituality I have found in few places in the world.
