Morning yoga session at Vedanjana Ayurveda retreat in Rishikesh

7-Day Panchakarma Retreat in Rishikesh

One focused week of classical Ayurvedic cleansing, with yoga, therapeutic meals and doctor supervision, in the Himalayan foothills.

Overview

A Week to Reset, Done Properly

This 7-day retreat follows the classical three-stage structure of Panchakarma: Purva Karma (preparation), Pradhana Karma (the main cleansing) and Paschat Karma (recovery). It suits you who want a real, supervised cleanse without committing to two weeks or more.

You'll receives one primary cleansing procedure, either Virechana or a short Basti sequence, advised by our Ayurveda Doctor.

FAQ

Questions Before You Book

Is 7 days enough for Panchakarma?

It is a good introduction and a focused reset. For chronic conditions or deeper cleansing, 14 days or more is the traditional minimum.

Are Virechana and Basti both included?

You receive one primary procedure, either Virechana or a short Basti sequence, chosen by our Ayurveda Doctor. Both in full are part of 14+ day programmes.

What is the difference between Anuvasan and Niruha Basti?

Anuvasan Basti uses medicated oil and is nourishing. Niruha Basti uses a herbal decoction and is more cleansing. They are often given in sequence.

What does the fee cover?

Accommodation for 6 nights, all treatments, daily doctor review, yoga, three meals a day, herbal medicines and drinks, a written wellness report and Wi-Fi.

How do I reserve my place?

Pay a 10% token online through our reservation page using cards, UPI, net banking or wallets. The balance is due on arrival.

Full refund if you cancel 30 or more days before arrival, 50% for 14 to 29 days, and no refund within 14 days. You can reschedule once for free with at least 21 days’ notice. See our refund policy.
