Fodor's Expert Review Kaivalyam Retreat

Pallivasal Estate, Munnar, Kerala, 685612, India

This simple, holistic yoga retreat on 11 scenic acres of vegetation and tea plantations is run by two yoga instructors and focuses on serenity and an organic lifestyle. The day begins with a yoga session, and all meals are set, strictly vegetarian—prepared with ingredients from the on-site vegetable garden—and served on a tight schedule. All rooms are equipped with modern facilities and are clean, comfortable, and soberly furnished with stone balcony areas outside.
