5 Unexpected Reasons Why You Shouldnāt Go for Ayurvedic Treatment On Your Own
Reason 1. Itās hard to choose a good place
There are thousands of Ayurvedic retreats in India, but only a handful are any good. Many centers are focused solely on making money, which may have an impact of your general experience.
Reason 2. Lots of fake reviews and edited pictures
Just because a center is popular and has a lot of positive reviews doesnāt mean itās actually high-quality, because in India itās very common to hire people to write reviews. Photos of the rooms and facilities are also often edited to make them look better, but when you arrive, you end up feeling disappointed.
Reason 3. You may have to pay more
At the end of your treatment, you may be shocked to find that your bill has gone up by 20 percent, since India has a system of additional taxes that few people mention in advance. Furthermore, you will often be asked to pay full price for accommodation and treatment upfront.
Reason 4. Are there no other visitors?
Even during peak season, you might find yourself in a place where thereās no one around but you, and youāll feel lonely. Iāve heard stories like that more than once.
Reason 5. No entertainment options
Most Ayurvedic centers do not offer any services other than treatment, which means that all your free time will be spent without any interesting experiences, unless you organize them yourself.
