A 15-day, 14-night rejuvenation programme at Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort in Kovalam, Kerala, combining an initial physician consultation, a personalised daily treatment plan, Ayurvedic vegetarian meals, yoga and meditation in a peaceful coastal setting. Note that this is a tour-package itinerary rather than a fixed medical prescription: the resident Ayurveda physician determines the exact therapies, duration and medicines after consultation, and the programme may change according to your individual condition and response to treatment.
Arrive at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. Meet our representative and transfer to Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort in the Kovalam/Chowara area, set in a peaceful tropical environment close to the Arabian Sea.
On arrival: welcome and check-in, a welcome herbal drink, an introduction to the resort, orientation about the Ayurveda programme, and time to relax before a light Ayurvedic vegetarian dinner. The rest of the evening is free so you can rest after your journey.
Begin the day with a gentle yoga/meditation session. After breakfast, attend your initial consultation with the Ayurveda physician, who assesses your constitution and discusses your lifestyle, diet and wellness needs before preparing a personalised treatment and dietary programme.
The programme may include Abhyanga, Shirodhara, a herbal or medicated steam bath, Ayurvedic herbal preparations and other therapies as prescribed, generally around 90 minutes to 2 hours a day. Spend the evening relaxing at the resort.
