Susrutha Ayur Village is set within a serene landscape near Kattakada, offering a peaceful retreat shaped by the beauty of its natural surroundings. Located just 20 kilometres from Trivandrum International Airport, this specially designed Ayurvedic village provides an ideal escape for guests seeking quietude and a break from demanding routines. The property’s lush greenery and traditional Kerala architectural elements create an ambience that feels naturally aligned with rest, healing and reflection.
The heritage of Susrutha Ayur Village is deeply rooted in the legacy of its founders, Ayurvedic physicians Sri. P. Krishna Pillai (Late) and Sri. P.K. Pillai (Late), who established the first clinic in 1970. Their vision was nurtured and expanded by Prof. Dr. Krishnankutty Nair (Late), a respected physician, researcher and former HOD of the Government Ayurveda College Panchakarma Hospital. Under his guidance, the hospital began its research initiatives and strengthened its reputation for dedicated Ayurvedic care. Today, the institution continues under the stewardship of Dr. Krishnakumar and Dr. Sreejakrishna, who uphold the same commitment to authentic practice and compassionate healing.
Accommodation at Susrutha Ayur Village is thoughtfully arranged through four ergonomically designed cottages, built in harmony with traditional Kerala architecture. Each cottage is furnished with modern amenities and includes a private treatment room, allowing guests to experience Ayurvedic therapies in complete privacy. The wider Susrutha campus offers facilities designed for comfort and healing, including rooms ranging from economic to luxury categories, with amenities such as air-conditioning, television, hot water, Wi-Fi on demand and medical room service. The property also features a spacious yoga hall with ample natural ventilation, a fully equipped physiotherapy unit and dedicated Panchakarma treatment rooms for male and female guests.
The Ayurveda centre and Panchakarma Hospital form the core of the Susrutha experience. With a heritage spanning over five decades, the institution has become known for its authentic treatments grounded in classical Ayurvedic principles. Supported by highly qualified physicians, skilled Panchakarma therapists and modern facilities—including an operation theatre staffed by experienced surgeons and nurses—the centre offers a comprehensive approach to healing. Treatments and therapies are delivered with precision, care and deep respect for the traditional “Guru Shishya Parampara,” ensuring that every guest receives time-honoured guidance to support long-term health and well-being.
Wellness at Susrutha extends beyond treatment to include structured yoga sessions held in the naturally lit yoga hall, encouraging a sense of unity between body, mind and environment. The wider institution also engages in community-focused initiatives, including SusruthaCan, a charitable venture dedicated to cancer awareness, prevention and support for survivors and families. This compassionate outreach reflects the hospital’s commitment to holistic well-being and social responsibility, further enriching the wellness journey for guests who visit the Ayur Village.
Dining at Susrutha Ayur Village is guided by the foundational principles of Ayurveda, where food is regarded as an essential component of the healing process. Meals are prepared with a clear understanding of Ayurvedic dietary philosophy, supporting balance, digestion and overall well-being while aligning seamlessly with ongoing treatments and therapies.
The approach to food reflects the institution’s commitment to traditional wisdom passed down through the Guru Shishya Parampara, ensuring that nourishment remains simple, purposeful and restorative. Within the village’s serene setting, dining becomes a quiet, supportive ritual that complements the broader wellness journey, allowing guests to experience harmony between treatment, lifestyle and daily nourishment.

Set in a resort-like ambience, the village allows guests to slow down and reconnect with nature, experiencing calm pathways, open spaces and a setting that supports quiet contemplation away from daily routines.
A spacious yoga hall forms an integral part of the leisure experience, designed with ample natural light and ventilation. This open, airy space creates a gentle sense of connection with the surrounding greenery, encouraging mindful movement, relaxation and moments of stillness that blend seamlessly with the village’s healing atmosphere.
The overall leisure environment at Susrutha Ayur Village is intentionally understated, prioritising tranquillity over distraction. The harmony between nature, space and silence offers guests a restorative pause, allowing time for reflection and rejuvenation alongside their wellness journey.
Ayurveda at Susrutha Ayur Village is deeply rooted in a lineage that began in 1970, shaped by the vision of Ayurvedic physicians Sri. P. Krishna Pillai (Late) and Sri. P.K. Pillai (Late), and later guided by Prof. Dr. Krishnankutty Nair (Late), former HOD of the Government Ayurveda College Panchakarma Hospital. This legacy of clinical practice, teaching and research forms the foundation of the Susrutha Institute of Ayurvedic Sciences (Research) and Panchakarma Hospital, which has grown into a respected centre for authentic Ayurvedic treatment over several decades.
The Ayurvedic philosophy practised here is grounded in classical principles, recognising health as the true fulfilment of ayu—life itself. Treatments follow the time-honoured Guru Shishya Parampara, preserving the integrity of ancient knowledge while applying it with clinical precision. The focus remains on restoring balance, safeguarding health and supporting longevity through disciplined adherence to Ayurvedic principles.
Panchakarma forms the core of therapeutic care at Susrutha Ayur Village, delivered through dedicated treatment rooms separately designed for men and women. These therapies are administered by highly qualified, experienced and skilled Panchakarma therapists working under the guidance of expert Ayurvedic physicians. The processes are conducted in a controlled, serene environment that supports detoxification, rejuvenation and long-term healing.
Supporting Ayurvedic treatments is the institution’s integrated medical infrastructure, which includes a well-established research wing and a clinically advanced Panchakarma hospital. The presence of a physiotherapy unit adds further depth to patient care, complementing Ayurvedic therapies where required. Together, these elements create a structured and disciplined approach to healing that remains traditional in essence and clinical in practice.
Susrutha Ayur Village reflects Ayurveda not merely as a system of treatment, but as a comprehensive science of life. With decades of medical experience, continuous research, and a family-led team of dedicated professionals, the village offers an environment where classical Ayurveda is practised with authenticity, continuity and quiet dedication to holistic well-being.
Susrutha Ayur Village and its parent institution, the Susrutha Institute of Ayurvedic Sciences (Research) and Panchakarma Hospital, are recognised for a legacy shaped by decades of dedicated service to classical Ayurveda, clinical excellence and academic contribution. Central to this recognition is the work of Prof. Dr. Krishnankutty Nair (Late), former Chairman and Managing Director, whose professional life bridged clinical practice, teaching and institutional leadership within the Government Ayurveda system.
Dr. Krishnankutty Nair was the recipient of several national honours, including the Pride of India Award, Indira Gandhi Sadbhavana Award, Bharath Jyothi Award and Rashtriya Rattan Award, reflecting his contributions to Ayurveda as a physician, professor and healthcare administrator. With over four decades of experience in Ayurvedic medicine, Panchakarma, pharmacy and manufacturing, his recognition extended across clinical specialties such as spine care, paediatrics, dermatology, communicable diseases and integrative cancer care.
Institutional recognition is further reflected in Susrutha’s steady growth and formal milestones, including the registration of a 30-bedded Panchakarma hospital and institute in 2002, the establishment of a GMP-certified Ayurvedic pharmaceutical unit in 2008, and the launch of Susrutha Ayurveda Village in 2010. Subsequent initiatives such as the Advanced Ayurveda Nursing School, Medi Tech Lab and specialised care units underline the organisation’s continued acknowledgement within the Ayurvedic and healthcare landscape.
Together, these individual honours and institutional milestones position Susrutha Ayur Village as a centre respected for its contribution to Ayurveda through sustained medical practice, education, research and socially conscious healthcare initiatives.
