Placement
Review of Atreya Clinic, Kottayam.
We went to Atreya knowing almost nothing about Ayurveda.
But I do have experience of health resorts, so I have something to compare it with, including in Europe.
I can say with confidence: Atreya is a very good health resort.
Here they really do take a comprehensive approach to understanding health and try to treat everything (well, almost).
Separately — the service. I do not like the word, but here I honestly cannot put it any other way: care, attention, complete oversight 🙂
If you did not come at the start of a meal — a WhatsApp message, and ten minutes later a call to your room. Every day there is a check on your condition, and if something has happened, everyone attends to you together.
The food: we adults liked it; our teenage son, like the other teenagers, was less impressed ;-))
Simple but tasty. You will not go hungry. It surprised us that with such a quantity of spices (including for medicinal purposes) the body responded well, and there was no stomach trouble anywhere.
Accommodation: we had a room of about 40 square metres, maybe more, for three. Of course, living three to a room like that for 21 days would be very uncomfortable — you need something bigger; for a week it is perfectly fine.
The room has a fan and air conditioning.
The grounds: small, located in a village, very cosy, on the bank of a river. Bring mosquito repellents from home, there is nothing of the sort here.
Where to walk: there are a couple of routes, one of them along the riverbank around a rice field. We walked it once, but there are actually snakes there and it is better not to go around the field, only along the paved roads to the river. You can also walk around the village, or go out onto the road and head to another village. And that is all.
There are two large Christian churches: an Assyrian one and an Orthodox one.
To buy something: 5–8 minutes by tuk-tuk to a large shopping centre, where there is everything. Things like Levi’s are 3–4 times cheaper than at home.
Laundry: very inexpensive and good-quality cleaning.
English: oh, well, Indian English is hard to understand, especially if your own is not great))))
They all speak it, and well. At times it was hard to follow, but in the end we managed)
The agency’s organisation of our trip: excellent, they were always in touch and helped us sort everything out.
A video diary review of Panchakarma at the Atreya Ayurveda Clinic in Kerala
We thank manager Olga Solovyova for recommending that we choose the «Atreya» clinic in Kottayam for treatment. Olga carefully accompanied us at all stages: clinic selection, paperwork, and initial consultations (assisting with translation). Olga approached her work with genuine care, sincerely worried about us, and rejoiced in our results. We always felt her support!
The clinic is excellent! All the staff: the manager, doctors, therapists, cooks, and housekeepers treated us like family. They created an atmosphere of kindness, care, and a sincere desire to help and heal us! Constant attention accompanied us from the first day to the last. After 21 days of staying at the clinic, we felt rested, rejuvenated, and full of energy. We definitely want to return next year!
The general rejuvenation of my body has given me the strength to take steps towards a healthy and happy life. I would say that I spent these three weeks on my health and rest at the same time.
The Athreya Ayurvedic Centre is a wonderful place for Panchakarma Ayurvedic treatments. The clinic has a completely family-like atmosphere, where you feel part of the community from the very first minute. Very attentive and responsive staff, simple but lovingly prepared food, comfortable cottages, wonderful grounds, peace and harmony. The initial examination and daily conversations with the doctor about your health give you confidence in the doctors' competence and their very individual approach. I can say that this was my first, but by no means last, visit to this clinic. And I will gladly repeat the treatment as soon as the opportunity arises. Thank you so much; I returned completely renewed, both on a physical level and, more importantly, mentally.
