Questions, answered.

How is the 2-day program different from Panchakarma?

The 2-day program is a short break built around eye care, bodywork and rest. Panchakarma is a fourteen-day program with screening beforehand.

Is Panchakarma suitable for me?

It depends on your health and medicines. The host asks before you arrive, and you should check with your own doctor.

Do I need to go on the boat trip?

Ask the host before booking whether you can skip the boat trip and what alternative arrangements are available.

Can I come as a couple?

The two referenced programs are marked as suited to couples. Confirm room options and availability on the current listing before booking.
