Typical Ayurveda treatments

Ayurveda offers a wide range of treatments that are tailored to an individual's specific health needs and imbalances. In Ayurveda treatments, the therapists use a lot of warm oils with herbs that are rubbed pretty much all over the body. The herbs are absorbed into the skin through the oil. The specific treatments recommended will vary based on your health needs and imbalances, and should be customized by an experienced Ayurvedic doctor.

Ayurveda retreats around Pokhara

The town of Pokhara, idyllically nestled at the foot of the Himalayas, is the perfect place to recharge and a popular destination for Ayurveda retreats, yoga retreats, and spiritual transformation journeys. For the most stunning views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks, you must visit Sarangkot, a small mountain village west of Pokhara. From here, you'll have breathtaking views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu mountain ranges, as well as Pokhara itself and Phewa Lake. Marvel at the grandeur of the Himalayas and admire the pyramid-shaped Machhapuchhre, especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. Also worth a visit is the Shanti Stupa, or World Peace Pagoda, beautifully situated atop a hill across Phewa Lake. Built by Japanese monks, it is one of 80 peace pagodas found worldwide. There are three paths leading to the top of the hill, with the easiest way being by taxi. However, the most enjoyable ascent starts with a boat ride across the lake and ends with a vigorous climb upward.
