Ayurveda Tour

OVERVIEW

Enjoy the amenities of a nearby beach resort, the highlight being an Ayurveda massage with essential oils that is intended to balance your mind, body and spirit. After departing from the pier, you will enjoy a brief but scenic drive to nearby Koggala, a small coastal town on the edge of a shimmering lagoon. Here you will enjoy the amenities of a beach resort, including its therapeutic center where Ayurveda medicine is practiced. This holistic healing system was developed in India more than 3,000 years ago to promote good health by keeping the mind, body and spirit in balance. The term Ayurveda combines the Sanskrit words “ayur” (life) and “veda” (sacred knowledge). Ayurveda medicine is one of the world’s oldest systems of medicine and many of the practices predate written records. You will be given a full-body massage with heated herbal oils as an introduction to Ayurveda wellness. While traditional massage techniques may be used, tapping, kneading and manipulating areas of your body may also be beneficial to ensure balance and well-being. Ayurveda massage is thought to detoxify the body, boost the immune system, relieve stress and increase vitality. Your massage session will surely put you in the right state of mind to enjoy the resort’s other amenities. You might lounge by the swimming pool, take a refreshing swim in the lagoon and stroll through the beautifully landscaped grounds. You can expect to be relaxed and rejuvenated when it’s time to return to Galle.
