Monsoon season note

Please note that, from June to mid of August, it is monsoon season in Kerala. The people who are looking for ayurvedic treatments, usually, prefer the monsoon season. This period is also considered as the off-season, due to less foreigners’ visits and to having most of the restaurants and accommodation facilities closed.

It is a good time to do indoor Ayurveda treatments, as it may rain a lot and the temperature is cooler, but in the same time, please keep in mind that many activities, like swimming, star gazing, trekking, biking, walking in the forest and others might become impossible to embark upon.

The retreat includes an opportunity to explore more of Kerala with a boating and sightseeing tour, a visit to Lions park and an exciting elephant ride.

The School of Yoga Vidhya hill resort in the idyllic forests of Trivandrum, Kerala, India will be your haven for this retreat. Just an hour away from Trivandrum and Kovalam, experience the tranquillity of a resort in the hills. Situated with breathtaking views over Neyyar Dam, Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary and Agastya Mountain, this is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the cities and coast.
