India
- the land to travel to, a haven of tourism delights,
a civilization to tour through. Tourists come to India
for its wealth of sights, cultural exuberance,
diversity of terrain and in search of that special
something, an extra punch that only India promises and
delivers. Teeming with over a billion people who voice
over a million concerns in fifteen hundred different
languages, India is where people live with variety,
thrive on diversity and are too familiar with
largeness to let it boggle them. Mud huts and mansions
face off across city streets. Lurid luxury and limp
living are inhabitants of the same lane.

Ayurveda and Spa tours in India are the
ultimate in relaxation and well-being. The
correct ambience for rejuvenation of the body,
mind and soul is available in India for the
success of Ayurveda and Spa tours.
The ancient traditional discipline of medicine
in India is Ayurveda which promises the
removal of body ailments by uprooting the main
causal factor; be it inadequate or
inappropriate diet, insomnia, stress and
tension or muscular weakness. The demand of
Ayurveda as a remedy to diseases is picking up
a fast pace now due to the mechanised and
mundane routine of today's world. Looking to
this demand many Ayurveda and Spa centres have
been sprouted up in India mainly in Goa,
Kerala and Rajasthan.
There are a number of Ayurveda Health Resorts
in India. Amongst the most popular Ayurveda
Health Resorts where we conduct the Ayurveda
and Spa tours are Soomatheeram Beach Resort,
Manaltheeram Health Resort and Hotel Swagath
Holiday in Kovalam; Hotel Aquaserene in Kollam;
Fort Palace Devigarh in Udaipur; Kumarakom
Lake Resort in Kumarakom; Club Mahindra
Lakeview Resort in Munnar; Taj Holiday Village
and the Marriott Resort in Goa and the Taj
Malabar in Kochi.
Through herbal oils, massages, diet plans and
other ethnic health care techniques Ayurveda
offers rejuvenating, preventive, and curative
treatments. Ayurvedic oils, herbs, powders,
potions balance the three essential
bio-energies of the body so that the body,
mind and spirit are in fine form. Ayurveda
aims at offering a balance between Vata (gas),
Pitta (heat), and Kapha (phlegm) and managing
the vasti (bladder), vamana (digestion),
videdama (waste), nasya (nose), and asravisru
(blood).
With the Ayurveda and Spa tours we stress that
"Health is not everything, it is the only
thing." The Spa tours of India focus at
energizing the body, stimulating the mind and
calming the body. As per individual the Spa in
India centres on health goals like
de-stressing, detoxification and cleansing,
deep relaxation, anti-aging, weight & inch
loss.
There are a few Spa Resorts in India. Amongst the most popular are Ananda
in the Himalayas in Rishikesh, Golden Palms
Spa and Resorts and Angsana Spa in Bangalore.
The Spa tours in India reveal that the
traditional treatments are being clubbed with
the technological advancements in human well
being. The aroma of exotic oils like rosemary,
lavender, jasmine and frangipani wafts the
air. The soothing music and the magical
ambience do wonders to your body, mind and
soul.
The range of facilities and services available
at the Spa resorts of India may include health
/ fitness assessments, body composition
analysis, personal fitness training,
physiotherapy, gymnasium with state-of-the-art
equipment, exercise studio for all aerobic and
workout programs, and an outdoor pool for such
activities as volleyball and aqua aerobics.
