Vajra Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat

What a peaceful, proficient ayurvedic resort in an idyllic forest setting. Although we didn’t initially reserve more than the mid-priced “Karma” level lodge rooms thru Booking, we converted to a 7 day all-inclusive package after seeing the setup & hastily doing the math on arrival. Can vouch for quantity & quality of the treatments, sometimes 3 per day, and our very minor aches & pains were history by departure. Both my husband and I had their joint treatment package (me for an occasionally achy knee from skiing, and he for an off & on running injury.) Hats off to their excellent chef for the creative & scrumptious meals; retreat staff are also responsive & caring. The yoga & meditation classes were ably led. The rooms are comfortable with super air con. The pool is a real treat considering the heat. Other guests represent a nice mix of ages (from kids to the senior set) and nations, maybe a third being from India. Everyone we met was interesting & very personable. With the resort’s focus on improvement, I hope they’re heading toward better communication about 3 important things: 1. What all the medicines, lotions & potions are & how they work. You really have to diligently pursue answers from them. Honestly, other ayurvedic resorts have much better explanations online & that’s where we learned the most. 2. What individual treatments & packages cost—they really should post all options & costs online in advance. Not only would it reduce perceived decision-making stress on arrival, it would likely increase # of people participating in treatment packages. Folks who only took a few treatments during their stay didn’t seem much impressed, likely because it wasn’t comprehensive or customized. Included here are photos of the resort’s pricing structure I saw only briefly on arrival, they’re not terribly transparent, that part needs work. 3.

My second stay here and it didn't disappoint 😁 I was welcomed back like a part of the family by Anjana and Thomas. Morning yoga with Gripson was just what I needed to stay grounded with his calm voice and expert teaching I looked forward to the rooftop yoga. The food was varied, nutritious and delicious and Sushila was very efficient and friendly. Maria and Greeshma gave me the best Abhyanga massage. Dr Manorahan and Dr Aishwarya are incredibly experienced and patient doctors. Overall I felt very well cared for and I left Vajra feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after my 10 days. Thank you Vajra team and a special mention to the housekeeping ladies who are so warm and friendly and always helpful. My heart is full.....🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

The best thing about this retreat is the staff. The doctors here are so helpful and know what they are talking about, and I found them to be kind, considerate, funny and knowledgeable. The ladies who did my treatments, genuinely care about you, and were amazing at their jobs. The cleaners, gardener and kitchen staff work so hard. The yoga teacher is passionate about his vocation. The physical treatments I received and so natural, my flexibility and health have improved. As a 50 something menopausal women with a thyroid issue and chronic fatigue, losing weight has been an issue. But here under the caring guidance of the doctors, I lost weight!! A miracle indeed. It hasn’t always been a walk in the park, but if you want to get serious about your health and breaking up with food and getting your life back, this is the place. Namaste, dear friends at the retreat.

A special thanks to Emmanuel, who went above and beyond by thoughtfully preparing ginger coffee for me multiple days in a row to soothe my sore throat—truly heartwarming hospitality!
