Back to Roots Ayurveda Retreat and Hospital
Back to Roots, as the name suggests, is a return to the basics of the ancient science of Ayurveda – in philosophy, practice and process and procedures – as described in the ancient texts.
At this full-fledged, premium Ayurvedic Resort in Kerala, we offer the authentic, traditional practices of medical diagnosis, cure, and rejuvenation under the guidance of a trained vaidya (Ayurvedic physician) in a beautiful, serene setting that in itself is relaxing and revitalizing. Our focus is on curing, managing, or controlling the root cause of the disease while providing symptomatic relief.
A journey back in time – Back to Roots Ayurveda Hospital in Kerala, India
‘Holistic’ is not merely a catchword at Back to Roots. Dr. Shyam’s deep understanding of Kerala Ayurveda and his decades of practice, had led to him to lay equal emphasis on an often overlooked contributing factor to sickness and ill health – the environment.
That’s why Back to Roots is a journey back in time, to a simpler, calmer, slow-paced life. It offers the luxuries of a rustic life, without eschewing the modern comforts sans its distracting features.
The scenic property, nestled along a river, is a slice of tropical village life at its best – clean air, pure water, refreshing silence and abundant greenery. The hospital and treatment facilities feel anything but hospital-like! Go fishing, cycling or for a stroll, pick vegetables and fruits from the gardens and orchards, help milk the goats, swim in the kulam (pond), learn a craft, do yoga, learn to cook a traditional recipe – do things that feed your soul as the treatments heal your body.
Path to health – Back to Roots Ayurveda
There are no shortcuts to health – while that may be a bitter herbal tea or a pill to swallow, for us, it is a guideline that steers us in all aspects of our treatment protocols.
Hence, guided by ancient medical texts, decades of experience, and documented scientific research, we formulate and manufacture all the medicines, oils, and mixtures for treatment and therapy. The medicinal herbs, plants, and other ingredients for the medicines are either grown on the property or procured from trusted sources.
It is said, ‘you are what you eat.’ That’s why at Back to Roots, we grow most of the vegetables necessary for a wholesome diet that promotes healing and wellness. Our dairy and goat farm provide the milk and milk products used extensively in Ayurvedic medicines and treatments.
Get away to get better
Kerala, the land of coconuts, was dubbed God’s own country for its scenic landscapes, verdant greenery, and relaxed pace. It’s no wonder that Ayurveda has flourished here for centuries where nature is calming, and the people are welcoming.
Back to Roots is a space meticulously designed to promote tranquillity and wellbeing; here nature is as much the physician as the vaidya. With its lush greenery, the beautiful river, the serene space, the simple village cuisine and activities that invite one to slow down and rediscover one’s rhythm Back to Roots has rightfully earned a place among the top Ayurvedic resorts in Kerala.
Ayurveda Packages in Kerala, India

Posted on Google Anja BambergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After an extensive online research and with the experience gained during 2 weeks staying there we are very happy that we found this wonderful Ayurveda Retreat. We spent two weeks at Back to Roots, and words barely do it justice. From the moment we arrived at the airport and were picked up, we felt genuinely welcomed, not as guests checking in, but as part of a family. That sense of warmth and belonging never left us for the entire stay. The medical care was attentive and thorough; the doctors Dr. Soorya Sugunan and Dr. Visak checked in on us regularly, and we always felt in safe hands. My therapist Adusha was a true highlight - professional, calm, and consistently kind, she made every treatment feel like a sanctuary. Thank you! The same can be told about Sijin, who looked after my husband - outstanding also. The kitchen team deserves their own paragraph. Day after day, they nourished us with care and creativity. I was even invited into the kitchen to watch and learn how to make Ragi Dosa, Puttu, and Rasam. These dishes will absolutely find a place in my kitchen back home. Twice a day, hot ayurvedic infused water arrived at our door - a simple, thoughtful ritual that grounded us in the rhythm of the retreat. Our cottage was spacious and cozy, with an outdoor shower that I would happily steal for my own home. Housekeeping was impeccable every single day, so we could fully relax without a second thought. What made it all truly special, though, was stepping outside to sit surrounded by nutmeg trees, palms, and aromatic ayurvedic herbs, birds singing overhead, striped squirrels darting through the branches. A quiet, living world entirely its own. We also had a wonderful trip to the Athirappilly Waterfall, and the surrounding region left a deep impression on us: lush, unspoiled, and utterly beautiful. It was the perfect complement to the stillness of the retreat itself. A special thank you I want to give to Mr Krishnakumar P, who was always available and supportive, from tiny things as receiving deliveries to organising our trips from/to airport and to the "Niagara of South India". Back to Roots feels less like a retreat and more like a homecoming. We will be back. Namaste 🙏🏻Posted on Google V NarayananTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is V Nara from Singapore. I was at Back to Roots from 3rd May 2026 to 17th May 2026. I took 14 days rejuvenation treatment. Overview of the place gives me resort feeling surrounded by greenery trees, scrubs, medicated plants, some domestic animals like cows, goats, goose, fish pond and even a swimming pool and gives enough space to walk around to breath in oxygenated air. The reception area was cosy and with Ganesha statue. There are 3 rooms and an therapist room, pharmacy and doctors consultation room. Furthermore, surrounded by cottages, therapist rooms, canteen and yoga hall. All the places were neat clean and airy. The manager Mr Krishana takes his time to explain what is around Back to Roots, receptionist was kind and helpful. The therapist does his job well one to one patient. Medication delivered on time. The 3 doctors are very well versed in their knowledge; diagnostic skills are good. My real appreciation to Dr Soorya, Dr Merin and Dr Visakh R S. Keep up your good work. The food that of vegetarian was good and tasty. The 2 Chefs and assistance very accommodative very well kept to their job. Overall the stay was very comfortable and very relaxing. My humble feedback to Back To Roots Organization for their consideration: 1. The reception office, Doctors consultation room, the pharmacy room and the guests rooms around fitted with light bulbs, it will not strain the eyes. 2. To provide a writing table in the guest rooms. 3. One therapist to one guest makes the therapist tired and he loses his momentum by running around the treatment table if possible consider 2 therapist to a guest.

Posted on Google Sun SangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great ayurvedic retreat for traditional Kerala ayurvedic treatments. Wonderful peaceful green resort near the Chalakudy river. Therapy by Ashik was superb. I would like to appreciate the genuine warmth of the hosts Amruta and Ramith who made sure I had a relaxed time. Only improvement area was in the quality of the bath towel, which was shredding. Overall, I highly recommend this place. The treatment packages are decently priced but the room rates might seem a little too high to the discerning one!Posted on Google Abdulrahman AlaboodyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are experiences in life that go far beyond words, and this was truly one of them. No language could fully express what we feel for the people here and for this extraordinary place. We came as a family” my wife, our young child, and I”and from the very first moment, we were received with such genuine warmth, kindness, and heartfelt care. What touched us most deeply was the thoughtful and loving care given to our child while we were attending our healing sessions and during the moments of rest and relaxation afterward. This meant more to us than words can express. It allowed us to be fully present in the experience, with complete peace of mind, knowing that our child was being looked after with real tenderness and attention. Every single person we met was part of what made this experience so unforgettable”the security guard, the gardener, the animal caretaker, the one who served the food, the therapists, the doctors, the hosts, and the manager. Each person, in their own way, reflected a level of sincerity, grace, and humanity that is very rare to find. What we witnessed was far more than professionalism; it was genuine care embodied in every detail. In just four days, I felt a profound improvement and a beautiful sense of harmony within my body. Everything was carried out with exceptional professionalism, yet it never felt distant or clinical. It felt deeply human, deeply intentional, and deeply healing. We may have left this place, but it will never leave us. It has become a part of us. We carry with us deep gratitude, love, and admiration for everyone here, and we can only hope that they felt even a fraction of what they gave us. This was not simply a stay or a treatment experience”it was something truly unforgettable. A rare and beautiful place, filled with beautiful souls. 💫Posted on Google Ragna LüdersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had two very beautiful weeks at this very peacefully located Ayurveda center. Surrounded by lush greenery and wonderful birdsong, it felt like a small oasis of calm. Within just a few minutes you can reach a beautiful river, which made the setting even more special. The treatments were excellent, the food was very good, and every wish was kindly fulfilled. Everyone on the team was incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a genuinely friendly and caring atmosphere. We look back on these two weeks with great gratitude.Posted on Google Ramanathan SuryanarayananTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my wife living in Paris thru google selected Back to roots ayurvedic resort to spend a week by 20 jan 2026. It was a total suprise to us when we reached this place being picked up by mr Leo from Kochi airport at 6 am or so. when we entered the resort thru some bumpy paths we had a total surprise to see a big forest where we heard only birds singing and no noise of any carS.It was relatively cool though outside temperature was around 26 C when we arrived. We were allotted a cosy cottage with a big cosy clean bed, nice shower and WC! There were hardly 14 people in the whole resort we were the only indians , others were from israel, Uk, Italy, France. Wonderful breakfast was served in the dining hall by a very friendly cook and the server.The manager Mr Krishna Kumar came personally and asked us if we were happy in our villa! In this wilderness, total surprise Wi-Fi was available free! Everyday we had a different menu and it was announced to us beforehand; The food was vey tasty and carefully prepared(vegetarian of course) In addition we were given fruits served in our room. It was a pleasure to have masala tea and some snacks at 4;30 pm in the open garden. we could go for long walks in the garden watching different birds and trees.Mr krishna kumar was kind enough to walk with us to Chalakudy river on one evening; Excursions were also arranged which we did not take because we wanted to enjoy the serene atmosphere. Dr Marie was available for free consultation and advice; I took oil massage for my leg pain and my wife had facial makeup. On the whole, we had a very enjoyable stay which we would never forget and love to come here again if we are lucky!

Posted on Google Matty KlopperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just completed 6 days of treatments in that amazing place . All phsical conditions were outstanding: peaceful gardens (you hear only the birds singing), the spacious, comfortable and clean cottage, the very tasty fresh and healthy food, the swimming pool, the daily classes and more... But most of all impressive are the staff.. the doctors, the therapists, the managers and all the staff.. all are so proffessional and are doing all to hug and make your stay effective and enjoyable. Thank you so much..Posted on Google Giancarlo AcciavattiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After almost three weeks at Back to Roots in Chalakudy, I can only express deep gratitude and praise. By fully following the diet, treatments, and my private yoga practice, the experience truly exceeded my expectations. From the very first day, there was a consistent sense of kindness, professionalism, and a genuine “being at home” atmosphere. Every single person — around 22 staff members, from the manager to the doctors, therapists, gardeners, security, chef, and waiters — took exceptional care of me. Their attention, warmth, and respect made every moment feel safe and supported. If you are looking for authentic Ayurvedic treatments in a peaceful, natural environment far away from city noise and daily temptations — a place where you can truly focus on your healing goals and the reason you chose this journey — look no further. During my stay, I regained energy, positivity, and creativity. The experience was deeply restorative, helped by long periods of silence and minimal social interaction. With a maximum of 10 guests at a time and only 6 rooms in total, the place feels very exclusive and intimate. I loved every single moment of my time at the clinic. Back to Roots is not just a treatment center — it is a space for real transformation.
