About Ayurveda and Programmes

Layam is a doctor-led Ayurvedic centre. Every programme starts with a medical consultation, and therapies are prescribed for you, not chosen from a menu.

Ayurveda works best with time. We recommend at least 7 days for rejuvenation and 21 to 28 days for Panchakarma or weight management. Your doctor will advise.

You can share your health details with us before booking and our doctor will suggest a programme. A full consultation takes place on arrival.

Tell us your goals and health history; our team will recommend one. See also the guide on our Programmes page.

Send an enquiry or message us on WhatsApp. We confirm your programme, dates and stay, then share the booking details.

The nearest international airport is Cochin (COK). Shoranur Junction railway station is close by. We can arrange transfers. See our Contact page.

International guests usually travel on an Indian e-Tourist visa; India also offers an e-AYUSH visa for Ayurveda treatment. Please check the official Indian visa website for current rules. [client to verify]
