Indimasi – The Healing Village

A Quiet Village for Healing

Indimasi – The Healing Village is an Ayurveda retreat in the green countryside of Thiruvananthapuram district, at the southern tip of Kerala. It is designed for guests who come for a genuine course of treatment rather than a beach holiday: the daily rhythm is shaped by doctor consultations, therapies, yoga and meditation, and the whole village follows a strict healing regime. No meat, alcohol or tobacco is served, which helps to keep the atmosphere calm and focused on recovery.

Location

The retreat lies on a green hillside at Poovathoor near Nedumangad, inland from the coast and away from the busy tourist strips, surrounded by forest, plantations and small villages. Trivandrum International Airport is approximately 20 km away, about one hour by road, and airport transfers from Trivandrum are included in the Ayurveda package. The beaches of Kovalam and the city of Thiruvananthapuram can be visited on a day out if your doctor allows.

Accommodation

Guests stay in four room categories named Lotus, Jasmine, Tulsi and King Sas, so you can choose the level of space and comfort that suits a longer stay. Each category can be booked for single or double occupancy, and a companion who does not take treatments can share the room.

Ayurveda Treatments

Every programme starts with a consultation with an Ayurveda doctor, who prescribes the individual treatment plan and the diet. Therapies are carried out daily according to that plan, and all meals are prepared in line with the doctor's advice, largely from the retreat's own organic farm. The centre is NABH accredited and offers programmes from classical Panchakarma and detox to joint care, skin care and weight management. For Russian-speaking guests, a translator can be arranged for the consultations on request, so that symptoms and recommendations are clearly understood on both sides.
