India is the land of Ayurveda. The word itself roughly translates into "a complete knowledge for a long life". For those of you, who want to benefit from this 3500 year old system of traditional medicine, we offer stays in renowned spas and resorts which not only help you escape the city lights but also cleanse your system. The South Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu offer a variety of ayurvedic massage therapies and treatments in the serene atmosphere of the backwaters or beaches. However, if a peaceful hut in the Himalayas is your thing, we suggest a trip to the Northern states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand which have many spas and resorts offering you a tranquil atmosphere where you can relax and rejuvenate your senses.
