Ayurveda & Spa Golden Triangle Retreat

Two honest truths, because this is where wellness tours mislead people. First, this is rejuvenation, not a full detox. A genuine deep cleanse (Panchakarma) is an intensive, physician-led medical process that needs 14 to 21 or more days at a dedicated retreat — it is not something you can do in a few days between forts. What we build into the circuit — a consultation, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, dosha meals and spa time — is genuinely restorative and wonderful, but it is a taster and a reset, not a Panchakarma. If you want the deep detox, we arrange a proper stay at a dedicated Himalayan or Kerala retreat instead. Second, not every 'Ayurveda spa' is the real thing. Many hotels offer relaxing oil massages labelled Ayurveda but without the medical consultation that defines it. We are clear about which is which: genuine, physician-led Ayurveda where you want it, quality spa relaxation where that is what you are after, and never one dressed up as the other.

Ayurveda is a traditional system of wellbeing, and this is a wellness and leisure trip, not medical treatment. Some therapies, Panchakarma especially, are not suitable for everyone and require a proper medical evaluation first, and a brief 'healing response' (tiredness as the body adjusts) can occur and is monitored by the physician. Please tell us and the Ayurvedic doctor about any health conditions, pregnancy or medications, and if you have a medical concern, consult your own doctor before starting any programme. We plan around what is safe and appropriate for you.
