The spacious yoga pavilion and meditation platform sit high above the tree line, offering 360-degree views across the mountains and forest area.

Location

Located an hour away from Chandigarh, Vrindavan Ayurveda Chikitsalayam is far away from the industrial hub of Baddi.

Common spaces and rooms, with their humble stylishness, pay homage to the Kerala themed wellness center, with architecture marvel in each corner.

Walkways lead to temples with intricate architecture, completing the tranquil setting.

Natural Setting

While opening the center in North India, a remote location in Himachal was required to give the benefits of healing in a tranquil setting.

Vrindavan Ayurveda Chikitsalayam enjoys a remote setting in one of the most beautiful spots of Baddi.

The wellness center is surrounded by mountains and forests, thereby helping in better quality of air, this aiding in healing.

The view of the surrounding rugged landscape – especially from the rooms and yoga hall – is truly spectacular.

The main building comprises two-story pavilions which form a meandering line, reflecting the lay of the landscape and intelligent engineering.

All buildings are connected through a series of plantations with ascending & descending walkways.

The wellness center’s understated design honors Kerala’s architecture, with wide verandas, tiled roofs walls which blend unobtrusively into the landscape.

As you enter the porch, the main lodge features a light, bright, and airy interior, styled with earthy tones.

Guests are welcomed with fresh glass of vegetable juice, and then led to the temple , where a small arti takes place with the help of the in-house priest.

Chanting mantras and praying for blessings is the first step taken to begin the healing journey.

Facilities

The pavilion houses the reception, dining area called Tulsi, a stylish reading room and a huge garden where you can enjoy lunch while soaking in the fresh air and the views.

The first floor has a waiting area, consultation room and a physiotherapy room. The waiting area is conceptualized as a social zone, where patients can meet other patients before or after dinner for networking.

Accommodation

The wellness center features rooms of different categories to suit solo patients, couples or families.

Every room has a lovely view of the trees and plants. Wood panelling and vaulted ceilings add cozy touches to the room decor, making it a great place to unwind after experiencing the therapies during the day.

Also, custom touches are everywhere, from soft blankets on the beds to the comfortable sofa armchairs upholstered in pale color.

The essense of the rooms thrive on simplicity and comfort.Satvik meals with natural and organic preparations, the curated food for each patient bringing local crops directly to their plates, enabling faster recovery and healing.

Each meal is curated based on the doshas of patients that would ail in healing. Taste, portion and health benefits are all taken care of in each meal.

Breakfast is between 8-9.Lunch is served between 12-1.Dinner- 8-9.

Therapies

Therapies are the most important part of the entire wellness package here. There are Naturopathy and Ayurveda therapies that are decided after the pulse of the patient is checked by the resident Ayurveda doctor.

I went for Abhyanga, Shirodhara and potli massage. The therapies are done by expert trained therapist from Kerala, who are well acquainted with pressure points. They begin with a small prayer and invoke the blessings of the divine before putting oil on the scalp.

Gentle, yet rhythmic pressure on the body is applied. Shirodhara is usually done for patients who are struggling with sleep issues.

The oil is gently poured on the forehead enabling deeper relaxation and a sense of calm. Patients mostly drift to a peaceful slumber during the treatment. I personally had the best experience, since I drifted to sleep in a few minutes and woke up fresh and relaxed after the 40 minutes therapy.

The potli massage next day was even better. Herbal concoctions tied up in a small cloth are tapped on the body to reduce pain, stiffness or any stress in the body.

Yoga and meditation

Yoga is practiced each day , begining at 7 and goes on to 8 AM. Light asanas are done keeping in mind the flexibility of patients.

Activities

There are several activities in the campus to engage the patients. Badminton court in the garden, a walking space, library with self improvement books, a Gaushala in the campus are all created to keep everyone staying in the campus occupied.

At Vrindavan Chikitsalayam, you can expect to acquire holistic wellbeing with a curated wellness package.
