About the Retreat
Where Nature & Ayurveda Harmonise
Harmony of Nature — Lake & Mountains. Harmony of Health — Yoga & Ayurveda. Harmony of Religion — Church, Temple & Mosque. These three harmonies blend together at the simplicity and innocence of a true Kerala village, just 55 km from Cochin International Airport.
