Col & Mrs John Abraham - your local connection in Kerala will ensure you have a memorable KERALA EXPERIENCE. Kerala - "God's Own Country" - a land bestowed with beauty so enchanting that visitors and warriors alike have been attracted to its shores since ages - the warmth and hospitality of its people, the exotic produces of this Spice Garden and the inviting coconut groves that Mother Nature has gifted to its people have made it one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Asia.
At CGH Earth we celebrate the connections between old and new, between hospitality and tradition, between ancient cultures and the modern world, between man and his environment. Even the new name represents a connection. As CGH Earth, we look relentlessly into the future - yet remaining firmly rooted in our past.
The palace (or 'kovilakom') that Dhatri built came to be known as 'Kalari', because it was built on a site that contained a ritual space for 'Kalari Payattu', Kerala's ancient martial art. Today, Kalari Kovilakom has been restored and recreated into a unique experience in wellness. Combining the healing experience of India's ancient medicinal system, Ayurveda, with the grace and scale of palace living.
So is it a spa? A Palace hotel? An ayurvedic hospital? An ashram? Kalari is beyond these simply because it is a little of all of these. The intent and purpose of Kalari Kovilakom is to give you a chance to start your life all over again. Ayurveda, if correctly followed, promises not only a new body and mind, but a deep connection with the spirit. To the ancient Indians, this was a cosmic connection. A chance to be reborn in this life itself.
Just as Kerala is the original home of Ayurveda, Kalari Kovilakom is the one place where Ayurveda is practiced to perfection. Here, there are no compromises. Nothing has been re-invented, nothing diluted, nothing packaged to your taste. You will only have holistic, traditional Ayurveda, which understandably means you need to spend 14, 21 or 28 days in this Ayurvedic sanctuary.
Needless to say, for ailment specific therapeutic treatment, the physician will recommend the exact duration. But it is not just the alleviation of an illness, losing weight or looking younger and healthier that makes the difference - it is the holistic approach to the Ayurvedic way of life that makes this experience very, very special. An experience that transcends the ordinary. An experience that becomes a part of the collective unconscious, making this an annual pilgrimage.
