Overlooking the majestic Sahyadri mountains, the wellness retreat offerd integrated healing treatments from recognized alternative healthcare principles. Every guest is given customized lifestyle rebalance plans after consultation with Ayurvedic and Naturopathy doctors and this place also has Equine therapy (see the image of the horse).
