What are the details about booking a room, payments & fee?
We may be over-booked most of the times. So a minimum of three months advance booking is recommended.

If you are from within India, you should remit an amount of Rs. 10000/- as booking fee. Those coming from outside india should remit US$300, or its equivalent. Booking fee is not refundable. The balance can be paid at the ashram (in Euros, AU$, US$ or Indian Rupees) at the time of completion of treatments. Money changers are just 15 km away from the ashram campus

We have a daily all-inclusive fee (food, accommodation, therapies and all the medicines used during the stay) or tariff . We can email you the total fee for your stay once the type of treatment, date and duration of your stay are finalised

No, we do not encourage guests to bring valuables. Please do not wear any heavy jewellery, and please do not wear much gold on you if you are going to stay as an inpatient. You will have to remove part or most of your jewellery while getting the treatment done, so it is better to leave them at home.

We can arrange your travel from and to the airport for a fee. Please contact sabu.sunethri@gmail.com for your travel assistance.
What personal belongings should I bring while checking in?

Please get a couple of thin cotton hand towels for personal use. Also you could get some dry tissues and/wet wipes. During the monsoon season, it is best to get clothes that dry quickly. Thick denim material is best avoided. Please do not pack new or very good clothes for the patient, as the treatment uses medicated oils for treatment.

If you do knitting/ crochet, you can get your kit along as you will have lot of free time, especially if you are the patient’s aide. If the patient is a child, accompanying parents can pack some light activity items like a drawing book or story book etc. for the kids. Parents may also want to carry a notebook to note down the treatment details and chart their child’s therapy schedule/progress.

Please get essential medical records like X-rays, scan reports etc. Please inform in advance if you have any known drug allergies.
