This retreat pairs tranquil nature and authentic Ayurveda healing in Kerala over 8 days. Instead of the common sightseeing tour, this will concentrate on re-energizing and relaxation offering yoga / meditation / traditional treatments. Created by a travel company called Troper Tours, it’s all about making sure you get just the right amount of relaxation and nature — detoxing and de-stressing while exploring “God’s Own Country” in your own way.

Yes, the Ayurvedic treatment in this package is 100% safe as well as customized. Practitioners certified by the center analyze your body type (dosha) in advance of any treatments, informing you which massages, herbal juices or oils and dietary plans you should follow. If you’re young or older, the treatments are gentle, natural and rejuvenating. Exclusively tied up with licensed wellness resorts, accredited Ayurvedic centers that follow strictest hygiene and safety criteria.

They recommend that you bring along some light cotton clothing, sandals for the ashram and bathing suits for spa and yoga times. A light rain jacket, sunscreen and insect repellent can be handy as Kerala is a tropical destination. Do not wear any artificial fabric or strong smelling perfumes as the Ayurvedic oils may leave stains on clothes. Troper Tours offers clear precourse guidelines so that you can pack with confidence for your revitalizing trip.

All menus are designed to be in balance with Ayurvedic values of good nutrition. The guests savor freshly made vegetarian meals that are prepared with seasonal products, herbal infusion drinks as well as detox teas. Nutritionists create personalized meal plans to match each guests’ body constitution at some wellness resorts. Troper Tours makes sure that dietary requirements — think vegan or gluten-free — are taken care of during your journey.

Absolutely. Troper Tours is an expert in customising Ayurvedic experiences for helping individuals to achieve specific health goals, be it stress relief, detoxification or recuperating your health post-ailment. You may arrive earlier (additional nights), have a yoga retreat or some special Panchakarma interventions. We closely work with certified Ayurvedic physicians and wellness professionals for creating a unique and personal wellness experience for each guest.

No, and we would rather say so plainly. Panchakarma is a medical programme requiring seven to fourteen continuous days at one centre with a controlled diet and no touring, and it cannot be combined with an itinerary like this. What this package gives you is a genuine physician-directed treatment block of four nights alongside three days of Kerala. If you want the full medical version, ask us and we will build it as its own trip.

Kerala Tourism operates a two-tier classification for Ayurveda centres — Green Leaf and Olive Leaf — covering the physician’s qualifications, hygiene standards and the quality of medicines used. Green Leaf is the higher grade, and we place guests only at Green Leaf centres. Ask us for the certificate before you book; a good centre shows it without hesitation.

June to August is traditionally held to be the ideal season for Ayurvedic treatment — the cooler, more humid air is said to open the pores and improve absorption of the oils. It is also Kerala’s quietest and least expensive period, which is why serious wellness centres fill in exactly the months everyone else avoids.

No, and be cautious of anyone who promises otherwise. The therapy sequence is prescribed by the physician after your Day 5 consultation, based on your constitution and health history. We confirm the centre, the room, the meals and the duration before you travel; the clinical protocol is the doctor’s to design.
