21 Day Himalayan Panchakarma and Yoga Wellness Retreat

This 21-day retreat is a deep dive into the ancient science of Panchakarma, a Sanskrit term meaning 'five actions' or 'five treatments.' This profound detoxification process is designed to rid the body of accumulated toxins (ama) that are the root cause of many diseases and imbalances. The retreat begins with a thorough consultation with our resident Ayurvedic doctor, who will assess your unique constitution (dosha) and any imbalances. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan is created, involving a series of therapies such as Abhyanga (warm oil massage), Shirodhara (warm oil poured on the forehead), Swedana (herbal steam), and other classical Panchakarma procedures. These therapies are administered by well-trained therapists under the supervision of an Ayurvedic expert with decades of experience.

Throughout the day, guests engage in restorative yoga and meditation sessions to support the cleansing process on a physical, mental, and spiritual level. Our resident yoga teacher, Narayan, who has practiced since childhood under his guru in Rishikesh’s Gita Bhawan, leads classes in Hatha and Vinyasa styles, tailored to your energy levels during the retreat. The schedule allows for ample rest, as the body needs time to absorb and integrate the effects of the treatments. In the evenings, we offer Ayurveda lectures and discussions, cultural evenings, and cooking classes, providing a holistic understanding of the lifestyle practices you can take home.

The retreat takes place at Veda5, a serene wellness center nestled amidst the Himalayas, surrounded by an ancient Shiva temple and a national park. The property offers tranquil views from every room and features large indoor and outdoor spaces for yoga, meditation huts, and an organic vegetable garden that supplies the kitchen. The team at Veda5, with their extensive experience in Ayurveda and hospitality, ensures that every aspect of your stay is comfortable and supportive. From the moment you step into this healing sanctuary, you will feel a sense of peace and well-being that allows for deep transformation.
