Best Budget Ayurveda Resort in Kerala
Athreya Ayurvedic Centre is one of the best Ayurvedic health resorts in Kerala. While it offers basic accommodations and very simple meals, the quality and duration of treatments are exceptional. Athreya is located in a village area on the outskirts of Kottayam, a small city approximately two hours south of Cochin, Kerala. The surrounding area is quiet and the ambiance at the resort is conducive to health and healing. Having said that, Athreya is not for everyone. It is most suitable for someone who is looking for cost-effective treatment of a serious ailment and who is not concerned with luxuries, amenities, beaches, sightseeing, shopping, and culinary splendour. In short, Athreya is for the serious and the simple-minded.
