Nestled in the spiritual heart of Rishikesh, where the sacred Ganges flows and ancient wisdom thrives, our Ayurveda and Panchakarma retreat offers a transformative healing experience. As the “Yoga Capital of the World,” Rishikesh provides the perfect backdrop for our mission: to nurture the “Body-Mind-Spiritual Awareness Trinity of Life.” Our retreat stands as a sanctuary where authentic Panchakarma traditions meet modern comfort, guided by highly-experienced doctors committed to natural living principles that have flourished for thousands of years.
In a region renowned for wellness offerings, our retreat distinguishes itself through unwavering commitment to authentic Ayurvedic principles combined with personalized care. We don’t simply offer treatments—we provide comprehensive healing journeys tailored to your unique constitution and needs.
Our signature Panchakarma process goes beyond physical cleansing to address the complete mind-body system. This ancient detoxification therapy removes accumulated toxins (ama) while balancing your doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—to restore your natural state of harmony. Unlike standardized approaches, our treatments adapt to your specific constitution, ensuring optimal results for your unique body type.
Our center is led by doctors with decades of experience in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Each practitioner has completed rigorous training in authentic Ayurvedic institutions and brings a wealth of practical knowledge to your healing journey. Our medical team regularly updates their expertise while remaining firmly rooted in time-tested traditional methods that have proven effective for generations.
Our retreat spaces blend traditional Ayurvedic principles with contemporary comfort. Each treatment room, meditation space, and accommodation is designed to maximize natural light and airflow while maintaining privacy and tranquility. Natural materials like local wood, stone, and cotton create a healing environment that supports your wellness journey.
Daily sessions of therapeutic yoga and meditation practices tailored to complement your Ayurvedic constitution and treatment plan.
Personalized Ayurvedic diet plans featuring organic, freshly prepared meals that balance your doshas and support your healing process.

Experience the perfect balance of ancient wisdom and modern comfort with our authentic Ayurvedic treatments.
Our retreat offers comprehensive healing programs that integrate traditional Ayurvedic therapies with complementary practices to address your complete wellbeing. Each program is customized following a thorough consultation with our Ayurvedic doctors.
Our flagship offering is the complete Panchakarma therapy—a systematic detoxification and rejuvenation process that forms the cornerstone of Ayurvedic healing. Available in 7-day, 14-day, and 21-day programs, Panchakarma addresses the root causes of imbalance rather than merely treating symptoms.
Before beginning the main treatments, we prepare your body with Snehana (internal and external oleation) and Swedana (therapeutic sweating) to loosen accumulated toxins and open the channels for elimination
The core Panchakarma includes five principal therapies: Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Virechana (purgation therapy), Basti (medicated enema), Nasya (nasal administration), and Rakta Mokshana (blood purification), each selected based on your specific constitution and health needs.
Our holistic approach integrates Panchakarma with complementary practices that enhance its effectiveness and address the complete Body-Mind-Spirit trinity:
Daily sessions of therapeutic yoga and meditation practices tailored to complement your Ayurvedic constitution and treatment plan.
Personalized Ayurvedic diet plans featuring organic, freshly prepared meals that balance your doshas and support your healing process.
Custom-formulated herbal preparations and treatments that address your specific health concerns and support long-term wellness.
Our approach bridges ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with contemporary understanding of health. We view Ayurveda not merely as a collection of treatments but as a comprehensive life science that promotes sustainable wellbeing through balanced living.

We understand you may have questions about our Ayurvedic treatments and retreat experience. Here are answers to some common inquiries from prospective guests.
Yes, Panchakarma is suitable for those new to Ayurveda. Our doctors provide thorough consultations to ensure treatments are appropriate for your health status and constitution. We offer modified programs for first-time guests and those with specific health concerns, ensuring a gentle yet effective introduction to Ayurvedic healing.
Our authenticity stems from several factors: our doctors are trained in traditional Ayurvedic institutions with decades of clinical experience; we use only organic, traditionally-prepared herbs and oils; our treatments follow classical Ayurvedic texts rather than spa-style adaptations; and we maintain the spiritual context of Ayurveda rather than merely its physical techniques.
For comprehensive Panchakarma, we recommend a minimum stay of 14 days to allow for proper preparation, treatment, and post-therapy transition. However, we offer 7-day programs for those with limited time, and 21-day programs for deeper healing. The ideal duration depends on your health concerns, constitution, and goals, which our doctors will discuss during your initial consultation.
Your day typically begins with morning yoga and meditation, followed by treatments scheduled according to your personalized plan. You’ll enjoy freshly prepared Sattvic meals, consultations with doctors, and time for rest and reflection. Optional activities include nature walks, spiritual discussions, and cultural experiences. The environment is peaceful, supporting your healing journey with minimal distractions.
