Many tourists come to Kovalam to take Ayurvedic treatments. Kovalam has evolved as a major Ayurvedic center. We offer Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapies and treatments. You can treat your worn out body and energize the nerves and muscles through time tested rejuvenation treatments. (Experienced Ayurvedic doctors are at your service)

An Ayurvedic massage increases the blood circulation, tones up the muscles and dilates the nerves thus effecting a new lease of freshness and vigor to your body. The herbal and naturalistic modes of treatments act on your bones and joints. These treatments cure you of many illnesses such as arthritis. Yoga and meditation are also can be arranged. You can also take up a training program. These programs usually last for about a month. Kerala’s equable climate, natural abundance of herbal and medicinal plants and the cool monsoon season (June-November) are best suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative programs. Ancient texts recommend the monsoon period to be the best season for Ayurvedic treatments. The atmosphere remains dust-free and cool, opening the pores of the body to the maximum, making it most receptive to herbal oils and therapy.

We also offer simple oil massages for relaxation, while full course treatments last for about 21 days. The full course treatments include a special restrictive diet and a daily massage. Twenty-one days are the minimum recommended period for achieving noticeable effect. Depending on the time you intend to spend in Kovalam, you can plan small tours to places nearby. Here are a few guidelines.

 About Sightseeing tours by Bakers Resort

The sanctuary is host to a rich variety of flora and fauna. Nearby is situated the Peppara Dam. Covering the dam and the sanctuary will take you around half a day.

Varkala - Neyyar Dam - Ponmudi

If you have a week at your disposal, go for a tour package covering the three places Varklala, Neyyar Dam and Ponmudi. In Varkala, the sea and the Papanasom beach is calm and serene, compared to Kovalam, which at times turns murky due to an overflow of tourists. You can spend up to three days in and around Varkala climbing the high cliffs and bathing in the mineral springs. Neyyar Dam, 32 km to the south of Thiruvananthapuram, has a watchtower, crocodile farm, lion safari park and Deer Park. You can spend two days here roaming around the parks and enjoying the boat safari.

Ponmudi, the beautiful hill resort, with its narrow, winding pathways and cool, green woods is an ideal place for trekking. Walking around the place immersed in lush greenery soothes you with a sense of cool. Two days will be enough to cover Ponmudi.

 

Thiruvananthapuram

If your stay in Kovalam is limited to one or two days, you can trip in and around Thiruvananthapuram. The capital city is known for its architectural magnificence. The many buildings built with red bricks and tiles also speak of the historical past of the city. A short skip around Thiruvananthapuram would take one day.
