About Prakriti Shakti

Prakriti Shakti translates to ‘the power of nature’, and this retreat's spectacular natural setting more than lives up to the name. Perched 2,500 feet above sea level in the misty green hills of Panchalimedu, its authentic cottages are accompanied by wide open skies and a birdsong soundtrack.

A NABH-accredited naturopathy hospital, Prakriti Shakti focuses on restoring balance through four core pillars: the elements of nature, diet, yoga and energy medicine, as opposed to using invasive treatments. Holistic therapies – from soothing massages to guided movement – are prescribed daily following consultation, to support the body’s own ability to heal.

Programmes start from seven days, and are tailored to target a variety of concerns, from weight management and depression to stress and digestive issues. Every detail of your stay is personalised, from the food you eat (juiced, raw, colourful, detoxifying) to your daily treatments (mud wraps, reflexology walks and more) and yoga sessions (Asanas, Kriyas or meditative). And with an impressive staff to guest ratio, you’re guaranteed first-class, attentive service throughout the experience.

Prakriti Shakti welcomes guests aged 15 years and above. For residents between 15 and 18 years, medical treatments are offered only with prior consultation and approval from the attending doctor.

Wellness at Prakriti Shakti

Unlike most Indian retreats, which focus on the ancient practice of Ayurveda, wellness at Prakriti Shakti is rooted in naturopathy. Naturopathy takes a stripped-back approach to wellbeing, encouraging the body to reset and heal naturally through food, movement, rest and time in nature as opposed to using medication or invasive therapies. The core elements include diet therapy and fasting, yoga and meditation, hydro, mud, and sun therapies, and energy medicine to restore balance across body, mind, and spirit. 

Programmes run for a minimum of seven days and are personalised to address a range of concerns, including weight management, obesity, hypertension, cardiac health, low mood, stress, sleep, respiratory issues, gynaecological issues and digestive health. Each programme is guided by medical consultation, and you’ll check in with your doctor daily.

Treatments are delivered in 13 dedicated therapy rooms and the rest of the facilities are intentionally simple, and include a healing centre, yoga sala, and reflexology walking track, with the natural surroundings forming an essential part of the healing process. To help calm the mind and deepen the healing experience, the team encourages minimal use of phones and other devices during your stay. If you do need to use them, please do so in your room or the lounge next to the lobby.

What’s on the menu?

Meals at Prakriti Shakti are designed as part of your naturopathic healing journey, and served in a central dining hall at set times. The retreat follows staged diet therapy – elimination, soothing, and reconstruction – to support the body’s natural self-healing. You’ll begin by juice fasting before switching to a raw food ‘rainbow healing’ diet.

Guests enjoy a personalised diet plan of plant-based meals made up of fresh, local ingredients - cooked without heat to preserve nutrients. These are accompanied by herbal teas, fresh juices, and detox drinks throughout the day. Trusting and adhering to your plan will maximise the benefits of your wellness programme and your time at the retreat.

To support a focused and effective healing environment, coffee, tea, alcohol, cigarettes, packaged foods, non-vegetarian items, non-prescribed medications, and outside food are not permitted within the retreat.

The dining hall
The dining hall is the location for all meals – a simple venue with spectacular views of the hills. Sample dishes include carrot and cilantro gazpacho with kale chips, broccoli squares with almond and pistachio, avocado lemon tart, and fresh smoothies and alkaline juices tailored to your health phase.

Your accommodation at Prakriti Shakti

There are just 19 cottages at Prakriti Shakti, all of which are airy and authentic, with earthy tones and natural textures like stone, metal and warm wood. All have natural cooling properties and come with eco-friendly organic toiletries. A laundry service is available.

Cotton suits are provided for guests to wear throughout their stay, so you only need to bring clothing essentials. As Prakriti Shakti is located high above sea level, we’d recommend packing a light jacket and scarf or shawl, plus a pair of comfortable walking shoes for outdoor activities.

What We Love

  • A rare naturopathy retreat in India, focused on helping the body heal itself through nutrition, movement, rest and natural therapies – rather than medication
  • Slow mornings that begin with an alkaline juice followed by a barefoot walk on the grass to absorb the early sunshine rays
  • ‘Fireless kitchen’ – food is cooked without heat to best-preserve nutrients and support the body’s healing abilities

Who Should Go

  • Wellness enthusiasts looking for holistic healing in a natural, no-frills location
  • Anyone with a specific ailment or health goal, whether it’s weight loss, stress relief or help with better sleep
  • Travellers looking for peace and seclusion in a setting with a miles-from-anywhere feel

LOCATION

Praktiri Shakti sits among forests and tree plantations in the lush hills of Panchalimedu, Kerala. Despite the peaceful surroundings, it’s less than a 15-minute drive from Kuttikkanam, the nearest town. Nature lovers can explore Vagamon (one hour drive), Ramakkalmedu (90 minutes), or Thekkady and Periyar National Park (two-and-a-half hours) – all of which are popular for hikes, panoramic views, and wildlife encounters.

The nearest airport is Cochin International, a three-and-a-half-hour drive away. Alternatively, you can fly into Madurai Airport (around four hours and 45 minutes).

WHEN TO GO

Kerala’s main monsoon season runs from June to August, with a second monsoon occurring between mid-October and mid-November. It's best to travel outside these periods to avoid heavy rainfall and high humidity.
