Meet Your Ayurveda DoctorWhy Choose Om Setu? Why Do We Stand Out for Ayurvedic Retreats?
We take our guests back to the times when Ayurveda was authentic and original. We still keep the ancient practice of Ayurveda preserved and offer the same to our participants. The Panchkarma and Ayurveda offered at Om Setu are untouched by modern contamination. It is as real as your natural roots.
Free Diagnosis
We offer a free diagnostic session with our BAMS-certified Vaid, Mohit Bhatt Ji, who ensures you get the right kind of Panchkarma and saves you from picking random, ineffective therapies!
Small Retreat Size
Panchakarma is a complex therapy of Ayurveda and requires special attention at every step!! Thus, we keep our batch size small to ensure detailed supervision at every step of the therapy offered to our guests.
Authentic Kerala Panchakarma
Panchakarma includes Purvakarma, Pradhanakarma and Paschatkarma and demands a classical flow. We ensure Kerala-style, traditional and most effective Panchakarma therapies for our guests.
Dosha-Based Meals
Vaidya Mohit Ji diagnoses your dosha imbalances and curates a special meal plan to balance your doshas naturally with the help of a sattvic and vegetarian diet!! Thus, our guests receive different sattvic meals depending on their body type!
Daily Yoga
Our Ayurveda retreat includes pranayama and yoga sessions to help your body prepare for various Panchkarma therapies! This supports the natural detox during your stay with us.

4.9★ average from 121 verified Google reviews.
"Vaidya Mohit actually examined me before starting anything — pulse check, questions about my sleep and digestion, a real plan. I've done Ayurveda massages elsewhere; this was the first time it felt medical, not just relaxing."
Linda
Canada"Rashmi's Shirodhara technique was the best I've experienced — precise and unhurried. And the fact the doctor's treatment plan was followed so carefully every day made the whole week feel looked after, not just booked."
Karen
United Kingdom"Only 4 of us in the cohort during my week, so the doctor genuinely knew each of our cases. My meals were different from the guest next to me — that's when I realised this wasn't a generic retreat menu."

United StatesHow to Book the Right Ayurveda Retreat in Rishikesh?
With the below five questions, you can book the right Ayurvedic retreat for yourself!
1. Who Will Diagnose You?
Always choose an Ayurvedic retreat where a BAMS doctor is leading it and curating your Panchkarma routine, instead of one that asks you to pick the therapies yourself.
2. Is the Diagnosis Available?
Make sure that your retreat starts with a detailed diagnosis using Ayurveda tools like Nadi Pariksha before applying any oil or Panchkarma treatment to your body.
3. What Is the Size of the Retreat?
Always avoid overcrowded or big-sized retreat batches because they will not offer personalised attention. Go for the retreats that are small in size.
4. Is the Treatment Sequenced?
Panchkarma demands a traditional flow. Offering random therapy will never help. Therefore, always check if the retreat is following the classical flow of Panchkarma or not.
5. What Kind of Food Will Be Served?
Panchakarma detox heavily depends on the food you eat! Make sure that you join a retreat where personalised diet charts and meal options are available.
Where Are We on These Scales?
Diagnosis by a BAMS doctor; detailed Nadi Pariksha is done, small group of 6 people max., Kerala-style sequenced Panchakarma; individual diet and meals supervised by the doctor!
