Discover the Best Ayurveda & Panchakarma Retreat in Rishikesh for Holistic Healing
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.
Why Our Retreat Stands Out Among Rishikesh’s Wellness Centers
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.
Body-Mind Detoxification Panchakarma
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.
Run by Highly-Experienced Doctors
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.
Cosy, Airy, Natural & Modern Design
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.
Yoga & Meditation
Daily sessions of therapeutic yoga and meditation practices tailored to complement your Ayurvedic constitution and treatment plan.
Sattvic Nutrition
Personalized Ayurvedic diet plans featuring organic, freshly prepared meals that balance your doshas and support your healing process.
Herbal Therapies
Custom-formulated herbal preparations and treatments that address your specific health concerns and support long-term wellness.
Our Core Ayurvedic Programs and Treatments
Signature Panchakarma Programs
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.
Pre-Panchakarma (Purvakarma)
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
Main Panchakarma Therapies
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.

Jennifer Eby
Visiting Earth Roots Ayurveda in February of 2025 was my third trip to India to do panchakarma. Rana was the manager at the last place I visited but has since started his own center, Earth Roots Ayerveda. It was wonderful! I was there for 12 days. The accommodations were perfect! The staff was AMAZING! The food was top notch vegetarian. I love Rana, and he has become a friend. We share a passion for the wondering, homeless cows in the region. I love sending a bit of $$$ to Rana and he goes to feed the cows for me. I love this part of India. The culture and the kindness of the people make me want to go back again soon. I will definitely return to Earth Roots for my next panchakarma experience.
Samaya Kefali
ncredible 15 nights stay with Panchakarma retreats altogether with group of 11 people who cane with me from Czech republic. 14 days treatment was extraordinary and so much helped and healed our bodies. Delicious organic heavenly food we truely miss now. Entire team around Mr.Rana is so friendly and supportive. Owner Mr. Rana was always ready to assist, support our needs and take us for a trip if we required. Every single day ať his beautiful center in Tapovan was a gift from God. We loved it, it changed us so much and we come back. There is no doubts. Let this place hug and love everyone who comes. Thank you from a deep of my heart for everything that was given. With love forever, Samaya 🙏💛🙏

My family spent there one very transforming week. We stayed there me, my husband and our little baby. They were very helpful and friendly to us. We were even able to get a bigger room on our request. The food there is beyond!! amazing, it lifts the body to different dimensions! And I am not exaggerating💓 All of the staff are amazing and friendly people, always ready to help. We felt like a part of the family. I also really enjoyed the yoga classes with Rakhi, she is so kind and professional. The hotel is nice looking and very clean. Make sure you will get all the information about the panchakarma so you can appreciate it and enjoy it properly and fully. I really hope I will visit this place again. We left it more opened minded and with a cleaner body. I am really missing the food and yoga every day 🙏
David Wilson
My experience at Earth Roots Ayurveda went beyond my expectations. I attended their 14-day detox program, which met all my needs. The treatments were exceptionally good, and the peaceful, offbeat location added a magical touch to the entire stay. Though the food was prepared according to Ayurvedic principles and was less spicy than I usually prefer, I appreciate their dedication to authenticity. The center offers all the essentials—strong WiFi, comfortable rooms, and a beautiful yoga hall with an incredible mountain view. The staff pays great attention to each guest, making the experience truly welcoming.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
