Panchakarma in sacred Rishikesh

Allow yourself to enjoy a luxurious healing retreat with a body cleanse.
Experience Ayurveda in the cradle of its origin in India, rejuvenate your body, shed unnecessary pounds and gain strength.

Rishikesh, a sacred city of Hindu tradition on the banks of the Ganges in northern India, can be the place to find your radiance, vitality and health again. All this with the help of the PANCHAKARMA cleansing treatment, which can be completed year-round at the local Ayurvedic centre.

Rishikesh is a spiritual haven at the foot of the Himalayas – a city where you can walk around the “holiest of rivers”, the Ganges, see beautiful statues, ashrams, walk past  monks strolling leisurely around, and locals completely absorbed in the practice of purification or yoga.

At sunset, you can watch the puja – sacrifices, during which hundreds of boats full of flowers and lights sail by. The pujas are rumored to have moved even cynics to tears, and for many are an experience of true blessing…

But it is not only the breeze from the Ganges that will purify you. Under the supervision of an experienced practitioner whose service will be at your full disposal, you will focus on rejuvenating your body and mind. During the retreat, you will also be actively engaged in the practice of yoga. You can also take a trip into the mountains with their winding roads, experience the fantastic local cuisine or even try out white-water rafting!

Panchakarma and restorative treatments are based on traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

You’ll feel lighter upon your return – literally, as the cleanse also has an effect on excess weight. You’ll also feel at least ten years younger, and rightly so – cell rejuvenation actually occurs during panchakarma. Your joints and spine will stop aching, your headaches will go away, and your digestion will adjust.

An ideal time to undergo panchakarma therapy (non-specific rejuvenation and detox) is Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November). These seasons are ideal for detoxification and rejuvenation due to the mild temperatures.

The following seasons are suitable for the treatment of specific ailments:

– Spring (March to May): ideal for detoxification, weight loss and rejuvenation programs.

– Autumn (September to November).

– Winter (December to February): Recommended for treating joint pain, arthritis and respiratory problems.

– Summer (June to August): Suitable for cooling and soothing treatments such as shirodhara and abhyanga.

Free activities:

Welcome to Rishikesh, a spiritual oasis nestled in the Himalayas! During your Panchakarma retreat, take some time to explore the local surroundings and indulge in these enriching activities:

☀️ Ganga Arti: Witness the sunset ceremony at the Ganges River, a truly spiritual experience (free of charge).

☀️ Rafting: Embark on an exhilarating adventure down the Ganges River, navigating through rapids and taking in the breathtaking scenery (chargeable).

☀️ Temple Visit: Pay homage to the divine at one of Rishikesh’s revered temples, a great way to connect with the local culture and spirituality.

The retreat is designed primarily as a cleanse and not primarily as a vacation: for example, you need to adjust to the times the clinic provides for your treatments. The scheduling of the treatments at the clinic is managed directly by the clinic itself.

The detox includes a strict Ayurvedic diet without alcohol and smoking, and adherence to a sleep regime. During the cleanse, emotions and toxins can be flushed out so you can work through a more challenging period. So please don’t think of your stay primarily as a vacation, but as a deeply transformative experience!
