An Ayurveda clinic that happens to feel like a spa

To make real Ayurveda available in Pokhara — assessed, prescribed and carried out by people trained to do it — without asking anyone to give up the comfort of a spa to get it.

Every plan opens with an assessment and closes with an honest answer about what treatment can and cannot do. That is the whole of it. The oils, the rooms and the garden terrace are how we make the medicine bearable to sit through; they are not the point of it.

A physician designs every treatment plan. Our senior therapists trained in Kerala rather than on a two-week hotel course. The oils are classical formulations from licensed pharmacies, not scented base oil. And the consultation is a genuine assessment that sometimes ends with us telling you to see a doctor instead.

We are also a small building rather than a hotel wing. There are four treatment rooms, one Shirodhara room, a sound room and a garden terrace. At any moment there are at most six guests in the place.

Ayurveda is complementary care. It manages symptoms, supports recovery and improves how people sleep, digest and move. It does not cure cancer, replace insulin or fix a torn ligament, and any centre that implies otherwise should worry you.

We ask about your medication because herbs interact with drugs. We refer out when something needs imaging or bloodwork. And we would rather lose a booking than take money for a treatment that is wrong for you.
