Who it suits

Who this house is for

Somebody who wants Kerala Ayurveda presented as clinical care: the how-to-reach page says every treatment programme begins with a clinical consultation. Three-night programmes are priced, but the FAQ says 3–5 days give "an introduction to Ayurveda and temporary relief, but lasting transformation requires a longer commitment".

The signature

The Panchakarma Therapy programme — a printed fourteen-night minimum, with two Ayurvedic therapies a day and daily consultation listed among its inclusions.

Great for
  • Panchakarma, 14 nights or more
  • Per-person nightly rates
  • Programmes from three nights
  • Inland Kerala, not the coast

Flights and routes to Kerala

Make a trip of it

Around your stay at Kairali – The Ayurvedic Healing Village

The excursions and extra stays we arrange in Kerala, placed by when to take each — so a day out never lands on the wrong day of a treatment course.

  1. Before you begin

    Arrive early — see the country while you are fresh

    • Extra stay · 3 nights

      Kochi & the backwaters

      The obvious and correct opener: fort Kochi, a barge night, and an unhurried arrival into the time zone before anyone takes your pulse.

    • Nature · Overnight, or a half day

      A night on the backwaters

      A converted rice barge from Alleppey through the Kuttanad channels. The overnight is worth it; the three-hour version is a queue of identical boats.

    • Culture · Full day

      Fort Kochi and Mattancherry

      The Chinese fishing nets, the Paradesi synagogue, the Dutch Palace murals and a spice-market walk. Five hundred years of Portuguese, Dutch and Jewish Kochi in one walkable afternoon.

  2. During the stay

    Light enough for a rest day or a free afternoon

    Your stay at Kairali – The Ayurvedic Healing Village · 3–21 nights minimum, by programme
    • Culture · 3 hours

      Kathakali, properly

      Arrive an hour early to watch the make-up go on — it is the better half. Ask us for the Kochi hall that still plays to Malayali audiences rather than the tourist matinée.

    • Culture · 2 hours

      The oil kitchen and the pharmacy

      At the houses that still compound their own preparations, ask to be shown the room. Most will say yes and few guests think to ask. It is the single most convincing hour of the fortnight.

  3. After you finish

    The reward, once the treatment is done

    • Extra stay · 5 nights

      The Golden Triangle

      Delhi, Agra and Jaipur on the way home. Long flights internally and worth every one of them if it is a first trip to India.

    • Extra stay · 4 nights

      Tamil Nadu temples

      Madurai, Thanjavur and Chettinad — the living Dravidian south, three hours east and a different civilisation.

    • Nature · Full day, or two nights

      A tea estate day in Munnar

      Four hours up from Kochi into the Western Ghats at 1,600 m. Genuinely cold, entirely different country. Too far and too long for a treatment rest day — take it before or after.

    • Nature · Two nights

      Periyar, for the elephants

      A tiger reserve where you will not see a tiger and will see elephant, gaur and hornbill. A boat on the lake at dawn is the version worth doing.
