Panchakarma treatment in Nepal

Panchakarma, meaning "five actions", is Ayurveda's traditional cleansing programme. Under the supervision of a qualified practitioner, it combines a special diet, internal and external oil therapies, herbal steam and a series of cleansing procedures, followed by a gentle recovery period. A full programme usually takes from one to three weeks.

We arrange stays at established Ayurvedic centres in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Panchakarma is demanding, so a consultation is required first; tell the practitioner about any health conditions, and do not plan a trek straight afterwards.
