I’m planning a trip to Kerala in 2025 and one of my main interests is experiencing authentic Ayurveda treatments. I know Kerala is famous for Panchakarma, massages, and herbal therapies, but most of the resorts I checked online seem to be quite expensive and focused on luxury travelers.
I want to know:
Are there places in Kerala where we can get genuine Ayurvedic treatments at budget-friendly prices without compromising on authenticity?
Do government-approved Ayurveda centers or hospitals (like those in Kochi, Trivandrum, or Thrissur) offer affordable packages for tourists?
Is it better to stay in an Ayurvedic hospital/clinic instead of a resort if we’re traveling on a budget?
What is the average cost of common therapies like Abhyangam (oil massage), Shirodhara, or a 7-day Panchakarma detox in a mid-range or budget setting?
Can anyone recommend trusted budget Ayurveda centers in popular Kerala destinations like Alleppey, Kovalam, or Wayanad?
I’d love to hear from travelers who have personally tried authentic but budget Ayurveda in Kerala. Any tips on how to avoid overpriced tourist traps and still get a healing, traditional experience would be super helpful!
