If you need a head-to-toe detox, you should head to the Kalari Kovilakom, an Ayurvedic retreat, in Kerala, India. Specific programmes such as anti aging, weight management, detoxification, stress management, are also offered.
Kalari Kovilakom used to be the palace of the ancient Vengunad Kingdom in Kerala, but now serves as a resort/ retreat offering the most authentic form of Ayurveda.
If India has been on your radar for a long time, and you really want to lock yourself away for a reboot, this beautiful old palace is the place to do it.
The program includes a minimum stay of 14 days with absolutely no drinking, no smoking, and you’re literally not allowed off the premises, except for medical emergencies.
You get three pairs of white pyjamas when you check in, and that’s all you’re allowed to wear during your stay.
The experienced Ayurvedic doctors control everything, from what you’re doing for exercise to what you eat. But the wonderful thing about it is you don’t have to think about anything.
As one person said, “if you have demons inside of you, you will come in contact with them.”
People go back time and time again, though. If you can get through the two weeks, it clearly does something for you.
Where is Kalari Kovilakom Ayurveda Resort located?
Its a good three hours’ drive from Cochin, and located near the border of Tamil Nadu.
