In India, there really isn't a line between "healthcare" and "retreat" or resort. The difficult part about coming to this country as a foreigner with a serious health issue, is being able to find the right balance between treatment and ambiance. While hospitals here may have more experienced doctors, the beauty of seeking a holistic cure is being in a... More

I have just returned from my third stay at KARE. If you would like to (or have to) do something for your health, you are in the best of hands here! Weekend or even day programmes are available, however, one benefits most from 10 days or more. Wonderful, friendly staff. The doctors are very experienced, so are the massage therapists.... More

We came to Kare for 10 days after Christmas and underwent the de-tox program. The yoga, the friendly and helpful staff, the serene location and delicious food - all made our stay a very good experience. Because Kare is small ie: caters for about 20 guests, you get to meet people from all over the place. I really liked the... More

Very nice and interesting guests to share meals, yoga sessions and the whole experience with. Kare is small and the perfect example of "small is beauifull". The ayurvedic treatments are given by...

it is a rustic place and not a five star resort. However, that is exactly why it is wonderful. The accommodations are much more than you would want, the food superb tasting and healthy to boost. Our table had 9 individuals from 8 countries, made for lively conversation. The Iyenegar Yoga classes, two a day were terrific as were the... More

We enjoyed a restful and rejuvenating vacation in October (perfect weather) at this lovely rustic wellness center one and a half hours from Pune in the serene beauty of the Western Ghats. The clientele is international. Your stay begins with a doctor's consultation, diagnosis and plan for your needs. The yoga was individualized and the use of props was brilliant... More

My husband and I spent 8 days at KARE in June. The monsoons were just beginning, adding to the natural beauty that abounds on this property. There are so many different types of birds and plants to observe during those quiet moments following yoga or treatments. The accommodations are beautifully rustic and very comfortable.
