Ayurvedic Wellness Escape with Panchakarma Detox in Kerala

For 28 days, you’ll follow a traditional Panchakarma detox program under the guidance of Dr. Shanavas and the senior doctors of the Noorani Ayurvedic family, who have run this ashram for nearly 70 years. Panchakarma is a five-step purification process that involves medicated vomiting, purgation, enemas, nasal therapy, and blood cleansing. The doctors decide which treatments you need based on your condition — no two programs are alike.

Each day starts with early morning yoga classes led by Raviji, a master teacher who has built a loyal following among guests. His sessions mix asanas, breathing exercises, and meditation, and are accessible even if you’ve never practiced before. After yoga, you’ll have your first meal of the day — typically fresh fruit and herbal tea — before heading to the therapy rooms for your scheduled treatment, which might include a synchronized four-hand massage, shirodhara (warm oil poured on the forehead), or a herbal steam bath.

Afternoons are slower. You might have a second consultation with the doctor, a lecture on Ayurvedic philosophy, or free time to rest, read, or walk down to the nearby beach. The ashram is on a hilltop in the village of Pachalloor, about 25 minutes from Trivandrum, so you’re close enough to town for a change of scenery but far enough to feel completely removed from daily pressures.

The ashram itself is a clean, spacious property with gardens, coconut trees, and open-air pavilions. The staff are warm and attentive — therapists, housekeepers, and the chef Rekhu, who cooks traditional Keralan meals from ingredients harvested in the ashram’s own gardens. The atmosphere is family-like, and many guests come back year after year.
