Quick Overview
Ayurveda Healing Retreat — 6N/7D
This is an Ayurvedic wellness retreat built around rest, traditional treatments, and a routine matched to your body. It begins with a personal Ayurvedic consultation to work out your dosha, which is your individual constitution, and the rest of your stay is shaped around that: the massages, the food, the yoga, and the pace.
It runs as either a 7 day or a 14 day retreat, so you can choose the depth that suits you. Treatments are chosen to suit your individual constitution, or dosha, after a personal consultation.

Ayurveda Healing Retreat Overview
The Ayurvedic Healing Retreat at Bodhidham, in Ghachowk near Pokhara, is a restful retreat built around Ayurveda, the traditional system of wellbeing from the Indian subcontinent. It is designed for anyone who wants to step out of a busy, overstimulated routine and spend a week or two living at a slower, more deliberate pace.
Ayurveda is the traditional system of health from this part of the world. Its core idea is simple: each person has a different constitution, called a dosha, and we feel our best when our food, routine, and treatments are matched to it rather than treated as one size fits all.
The retreat combines personalised Ayurvedic treatments with gentle Hatha yoga, sattvic food, meditation, and rest. After a consultation, treatments are matched to your individual constitution, or dosha, and may include Abhyanga, a warm herbal oil massage, and Shirodhara, a slow stream of warm oil over the forehead. The daily rhythm is intentionally unhurried, with quiet afternoons for reflection and one-to-one counselling.
It is available as a 7-day or a 14-day retreat. The treatments and the sattvic diet are restful and grounding, and the retreat is best understood as a traditional Ayurvedic experience and a genuine rest, rather than a medical treatment.
What you experience:
- Ayurvedic consultation. A personal assessment of your constitution, or dosha, with simple lifestyle and diet guidance to take home.
- Abhyanga. Traditional warm herbal oil massage, with the approach chosen to suit you.
- Gentle Hatha yoga. Unhurried daily yoga to ease the body, paced for rest rather than intensity.
- Meditation. Guided evening meditation, including breath awareness, mantra, and yoga nidra.
- Sattvic food. Light, mostly organic meals prepared on Ayurvedic principles, with herbal teas throughout the day.
7 days or 14 days: which to choose
Both lengths follow the same approach, so the choice is about how deep a reset you want.
The 7-day retreat is a solid introduction. You get your consultation, a course of treatments, and enough time to feel calmer, sleep better, and learn the basics of an Ayurvedic routine.
The 14-day retreat is for a fuller reset. The extra time allows a longer course of treatments and a bigger change in digestion, energy, and sleep, and it gives the new routine time to settle in. If you are run down or want lasting change rather than a short rest, the 14-day option is worth it.

Before you book
Frequently asked
Do I need yoga or Ayurveda experience to join?
+
No. The retreat is open to everyone, and you do not need to know anything about Ayurveda or have a yoga practice beforehand. The yoga is gentle and guided, the treatments are explained as you go, and your Ayurvedic consultation at the start means everything is matched to you personally.
Should I choose the 7 day or the 14 day retreat?
+
The 7 day retreat is enough to slow down properly, rest, and experience the core treatments and rhythm. The 14 day retreat gives more time for treatments, deeper rest, and integration, and suits you if you can take longer away and want an unhurried reset. If you are unsure, tell us your situation when you enquire and we will give you an honest recommendation.
What happens in the Ayurvedic consultation, and what treatments are included?
+
You begin with a personal consultation to assess your constitution, or dosha, which guides the treatments chosen for you. These typically include Abhyanga, a warm herbal oil massage, and Shirodhara, a slow stream of warm oil over the forehead. If you have specific health concerns, raise them in the consultation, and also continue with any medical advice from your own doctor.
Will this retreat treat a medical condition?
+
We would rather be clear: no. Ayurvedic massage, a sattvic diet, gentle yoga, and rest are genuinely calming and restorative, and most people leave feeling rested and settled. They are a traditional wellbeing practice, not a medical treatment. If you have a health condition, please keep following your doctor's guidance and treat this retreat as rest that sits alongside that care, not in place of it.
What does the price include?
+
The retreat includes your accommodation on the ashram in a shared or private room, three sattvic vegetarian meals a day, a personal Ayurvedic consultation, your Ayurvedic treatments and massages, daily yoga and meditation, counselling sessions, and pickup and drop-off in Pokhara. It does not cover international flights or your Nepal visa.
