We recommend the 8 day Panchakarma retreat which gives you the opportunity to thoroughly purify, relax and rejuvenate yourself. But we offer Panchakarma retreats ranging from 3 to 21 days. It is best if you arrive the afternoon before your treatment. You will be given a tour of the Retreat, have your Ayurvedic consultation and discuss your Panchakarma treatments (which will begin the following morning). You may want to schedule your departure the morning after your last treatment to allow the effect of your Panchakarma experience to sink in before returning to the busy world.
