Description
The Panchakarma Programme at Aanandakosha Ayurveda Retreat in Kerala offers a profound Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation experience, deeply rooted in classical texts such as the Charaka Samhita, Susruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya. Intended for individuals who are physically and mentally fit to undergo this intensive treatment, the programme begins with Poorvakarma, the preparatory phase that involves both internal and external oleation (Snehana) and therapeutic sweating (Swedana) to prepare the body for cleansing. The core of the programme follows the five classical Panchakarma therapies—Abhyanga (herbal oil massage), internal oleation with medicated ghee, Virechana (purgation), Vasti (medicated enemas), and Nasya (nasal cleansing). These treatments are carefully selected based on a personalised assessment conducted by the resident Ayurvedic physician, who evaluates the individual’s dosha imbalances, dhatu strength, digestive fire (Agni), immunity (Ojas), and mental clarity (Sattva). The final phase, known as Paschatkarma, focuses on internal restoration through dietary regulation, herbal medications, and corrective therapies designed to maintain balance and support long-term wellness. This structured and authentic approach allows guests to undergo deep purification, revitalisation, and holistic transformation in the serene surroundings of Kerala. -

This was my third time spending three weeks at Aanandakosha with Elisabeth, and once again, it was an amazing experience. I did another Pantacamat tour, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. The room was cozy and comfortable, the food delicious and tailored to the treatments, and the care and attention from the team were truly exceptional. The doctors are professional, kind, and genuinely present, and the entire environment supports deep rest and healing. I left feeling light, clear, happy and full of energy. I’m genuinely grateful – and I’ll absolutely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real, lasting results.

I stayed at Aanandakosha Ayurveda Retreat for 12 days in July-August'25. I was looking for a place to relax and rejuvenate while receiving treatments without the trapping of a regular commercial resort and Aanandakosha far exceeded my expectations. The place itself is warm and welcoming with a feeling of being at home. The room was very comfortable with a nice balcony looking out to the Arabian sea. The room had all things one needs for a comfortable stay including a desk and chair where I spend countless hours reading, most of the books borrowed from the inhouse library which has a gem of collection. The retreat is excellently run by Elizabeth, who towards the end of my stay there became more of friend. Dr. Maneesh was a class apart in terms of his knowledge and the patience he had in answering all my queries and doubts. He was superbly supported by Dr. Anju and their team of Sunitha and Sivaprasad who helped me with all the treatments. Chef Shiben's sattvic dishes were excellent and he was nice enough to conduct a cooking workshop for a few of us during the stay. The support team of Vishnu and Abhi were always there to help with anything that was needed during the stay. Elizabeth also arranged for a pick up and drop off to the retreat which was much appreciated. The retreat is a bit like at being at home where during meals all the residents come together to talk and share their stories and experiences. I made quite a few friends who hopefully will stay connected as we move through different life experiences. Though the treatment schedules are fixed to a large extent, there are still opportunities to step out and see some nearby places in Trivandrum and considering that the beach is pretty close by it's nice to step out once in a while. A big thank you to the Anandakosha team and staff for making my stay truly memorable! I came back truly relaxed and grounded!

I had the best time in Aanandakosha during my 14 day stay and have returned feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Elizabeth Pk and Dr Maneesh are the best professionals in the field, ably supported by a highly trained staff, ever ready to please. My family and I couldn’t have been better looked after. The location is stunning, and being surrounded by nature in its myriad forms is also part of the healing. An excellent Ayurvedic retreat, I must thank Dr Anju for her kind attention, Suneetha and Beena for the best treatments and therapies, and Chef Sebin for the most delicious food, plus Vishnu, and Abhi among the support staff for catering to our every need. Particular thanks to Dr Maneesh for providing us with detailed and tailor made Ayurvedic medical care; and to Elizabeth for offering the perfect environment for personal/emotional/spiritual growth. We feel very well-looked after and hope to carry these principles forward in everyday life. Aanandakosha is not your run of the mill Ayurvedic retreat- highly recommended. Cannot wait to be back!
