What is so enchanting about the Himalayas?

The magnificent Himalayas do not cease to have an enchanting effect on anyone who visits. No mountain range in the world is as mesmerizing as the Himalayas. This is also a very special mountain range which harbors many health secrets. The Himalaya’s is the birthplace or Ayurveda. It all began when sages went off into the secluded mountains for solitude to meditate. They traversed to the depths and found herbs that had special healing powers.  

As soon as you begin the ascent to the Himalayas you feel a strong sense of rejuvenation. The refreshing cool and fresh air engulfs you in a welcome embrace. The lush greenery and dense foliage is a sight to behold.

 Ayurveda has thrived in the Himalaya’s for over 5000 years. Sages have used different herbs, plants, leaves and roots in different forms and combinations to heal a wide variety of ailments. Most of the Ayurveda healing herbs are found in the higher Himalayan regions. The ancient science of Ayurveda is practiced all over the world, but to experience the actual healing power of Ayurveda you have to visit the Himalaya’s. It is something about the mountain air that has a profound effect on your health.

 The Saukhyan program takes place in the Himalayas to give visitors the true Ayurveda experience where it is not just the herbs but the air and water which adds to the healing effect. Breathing the fresh mountain air and drinking the fresh sweet mountain water is the start of your healing.
