Overview

Special Kerala Ayurveda Treatment Tour is a carefully paced 10-day journey designed for travellers who wish to combine a brief introduction to Kerala’s cultural heritage with dedicated time for Ayurveda, wellness and relaxation. Begin in Cochin, Kerala’s historic port city, where centuries of Indian, Arab, Chinese and European influences have created a fascinating cultural landscape. Explore atmospheric Fort Kochi before continuing to Alleppey, a region renowned for its waterways, tropical greenery and peaceful natural surroundings. The heart of the journey is an extended stay at a carefully selected Ayurveda retreat in Alleppey. Rather than following a standard spa package, your programme begins with an individual consultation with the Ayurveda doctor or qualified practitioner at the selected centre. Treatments, therapies, diet and daily routines are then recommended according to the programme offered by the retreat and your individual requirements. The following days are intentionally kept unhurried, allowing you to follow your prescribed wellness schedule while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of Kerala. Depending on the selected programme, your stay may incorporate Ayurveda therapies, appropriate meals, yoga, meditation, rest and other wellness activities offered by the retreat. Distant India Journeys can help select an appropriate Ayurveda property according to your preferred level of comfort and programme requirements, while coordinating your accommodation, private transfers and Kerala travel arrangements around the wellness stay.
