Welcome to Mitra Hermitage

A Hidden Sanctuary Where Time Slows Down & Healing Begins

Tucked away on the lush, whispering banks of the Karamana River in Kerala lies a place where ancient wisdom meets gentle stillness. Welcome to Mitra Hermitage Ayurveda Hospital—not just a hospital, but a sanctuary where authentic Ayurveda is lived, breathed, and passed on through generations.

Here, you won't find the rush of modern clinics or the cold sterility of standard wellness centers. Instead, you’ll discover a soulful retreat wrapped in greenery, birdsong, and the soft pulse of flowing water—a place where healing is personal, not procedural.

Mitra Hermitage believes in the Japanese term Kaizen – continuous improvement which reflects the quality of treatments offered , food served and the hospital infrastructures.

Panchakarma Therapy

Provides effective treatments for a wide range of ailments

To achieve a balanced state of body, mind and consciousness, Ayurveda treatments prescribe a cleansing Panchakarma Treatment to eliminate body toxins. The Ayurvedic medicine in India practised Panchakarma treatments since pre-historic times. Panchakarma treatments, which include five major procedures, are meant to purify the whole body by eliminating the accumulated toxins from it.

The five major Ayurveda treatment procedures are Vamana (Emesis), Virechana (Purgation), Snehavasthi (Medicated Oil Enema), Kashayavasti (medicated decoction enema) & Nasya (Nasal Administration). These five Panchakarma treatment procedures are undertaken for the purification of the body channels and Ayurveda considers it necessary before the start of any other Ayurveda treatments to get an effective result.

I underwent a 21-day Panchakarma treatment at Mitra Hermitage. This stay was an incredible, life-changing experience for me. The meticulous treatment plan by the doctors gradually improved long-standing ailments and fatigue. It felt almost magical, a deep reset of both mind and body. The therapists were highly skilled and professional, the staff provided attentive care with warmth, and the quiet, natural environment made my stay incredibly comfortable. The rooms were always spotless, and the food was absolutely delicious. Above all, the entire place was enveloped in a very peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, allowing me to spend invaluable time quietly reflecting on myself. This is an Ayurvedic hospital, not a typical resort. That's precisely why I believe I was able to deeply benefit from the wisdom of Ayurveda by receiving authentic treatment and care here. I am truly grateful. I will definitely return.

Mitra Hermitage Hospital is a place that has been recommended through word of mouth for many years. Friends, family members, and many people I know have come here before me, and now I completely understand why. I completed a 21-day Ayurvedic treatment program here, and my experience was extremely positive. This is a serious and professional institution where people come to heal and achieve lasting results, provided they carefully follow Dr. Mahesh’s recommendations. The entire team is outstanding. The staff is attentive, caring, and always willing to help. The therapists are wonderful, compassionate, and highly professional. They genuinely care about each patient and make you feel supported throughout your stay. I would also like to mention the food, which is simply delicious. Every meal is freshly prepared with care using wholesome ingredients. It is a real pleasure to eat healthy, nourishing food every day, and each meal becomes something to look forward to. I came to Mitra Hermitage Hospital because of digestive issues that had persisted for more than two years despite numerous treatments and consultations in conventional medicine. The Ayurvedic treatment program brought me significant improvements and, most importantly, helped me develop a much deeper understanding of my body. Here, everything makes sense: the treatments, the diet, the daily routine, and the medical guidance all work together in a coherent and holistic way. Ayurveda, a medical tradition that has been practiced for over 5,000 years, remains remarkably relevant today. Its approach focuses on addressing the root causes of health issues rather than simply managing symptoms, using natural and personalized methods. I wholeheartedly recommend Mitra Hermitage Hospital to anyone looking to improve their health in a serious, caring, and authentic environment. It has been a truly valuable and life-changing experience for me.

My stays at the Mithra Hermitage Ayurveda Hospital have been consistently exceptionally positive. As an osteopath and naturopathic practitioner, I have extensive experience with Ayurveda and have visited various Ayurvedic centers. I am therefore all the more delighted to have returned here for the fourth time. I am particularly impressed by the high level of professionalism among the staff and their palpable focus on genuine health and sustainable regeneration – not superficial wellness. The multiple doctor visits, regular check-ups, and individually tailored nutrition based on the specific doshas being supported demonstrate the meticulous care and expertise with which the staff works. The support throughout the stay is also superbly organized: it begins with airport pickup and continues through to the return transfer. I find the value for money to be absolutely excellent. The location is not directly on the sea, as is the case with some other centers. However, for me, inner regeneration and the therapeutic quality are paramount – and that is precisely why I keep coming back. The hospital is not located directly on the beach, as is the case with some other centers. India isn't always easy culturally, although South India, in my opinion, is very pleasant and accessible. At the same time, it's important to know that Ayurveda doesn't automatically mean wellness or a vacation. A true Ayurvedic cleansing can be challenging and requires abstinence as well as honest self-reflection. However, this is precisely where the lasting effects often lie. I'm very enthusiastic about this place and the entire team, and I'm happy to answer any questions or share my personal experiences with anyone interested.

I would like to sincerely thank the Ayurveda team and everyone involved. The treatment was highly professional, and the whole team was extremely kind, friendly, and attentive. Everything was very well organized, the food was excellent, and I felt very well cared for throughout the entire stay. Dr. Mahesh and his team were always supportive and welcoming. The treatment was successful, and I truly appreciate the experience. I would be happy to come again. 🥰
I can only recommend this place for authentic and good Ayurvedic treatment in Kerala. + Close to TRV Airport + Dr Mahesh and his team are fantastic, caring and making sure Ayurveda is a good way to take care of yourself + Good Consultation and medicines + Stay and food are just too good + Safe and secure PS: As an Indian, I researched a lot on Ayurvedic places in Kerala and am absolutely happy about my choice with Dr Mahesh. My review is based on 2 visits over last 5 years.

My husband and I stayed here as a couple at the same time as the previous 3 reviewers. We originally came for a one day experience and enjoyed it so much we asked if we could come back to do the 15 day panchakarma detox/rejuvenation treatment program. They were booked out until April but luckily they had a cancellation so a few days later we changed our travel plans and returned. We thoroughly agree with everything that Ayuko said in the previous review so won’t repeat here, but would like to add that what also made our experience so special was meeting and making friends with a lovely bunch of people who we hope to remain in contact with in the future. Also special mention must be made again about the doctors and the staff who were all amazing. Everyone worked so hard to provide counsel and treatments, great food, spotlessly clean rooms and linens and tidy well maintained grounds. Whenever we met any staff member we were greeted with a smile and a polite greeting . We were treated with such kindness and respect which we will never forget . Our first room was overlooking the garden and then a week later we were able to move to one of the larger upstairs rooms next to the river which was lovely. The sound of the river, the birds and the mosque were wonderful and all added to our experience. I spent many an hour just relaxing in the hammock watching the birds flying over the river. It’s important to note that Mitra is an authentic Ayurvedic hospital and definitely not a resort. People come here with a variety of health issues, and the care and treatment of their patients is first and foremost. We were glad to hear that the team at Mitra intend to keep it this way.

I can not say enough about the three weeks I spent at this unbelievable facility. This is a true Ayurvedic Hospital that offers Panchkarma treatments the way they are truly meant to be presented and prescribed. From the very competent doctors, the treatment specialist, the healthy tailored delicious diet for each attendee in the dining area, to the professional management team, I am truly grateful I made the decision to book here for my custom and very successful health treatment. It was a real experience of a lifetime, and thank you so much to the entire Mitra Hermitage team.

Thanks for the response Manager, Prices have never been a deal breaker for me, You have seen that I have tipped people in thousands while leaving. Went to this Place in Dec 2021. The doctor Mahesh and His wife are very nice. They try to take care of you very well. I had a big problem with the room and kitchen. The food was extremely poor and the treatment at the kitchen was pathetic. The bedsheets were unclean had to buy my own . There was no rug to wipe the feet , had to buy myself . There were too many mosquitoes had to buy my own mosquitoes repellent. Over all good Doctor’s but jail like facility . The area is too small even for a brief walk.

Wonderful atmosphere where you can relax, have time to pray, read, go for walks and have time for yourself. Each and every treatment is tailored to your needs- and all the staff, each and every single one of them no matter what their role at the hospital- are so caring and loving to the patients and to each other. I never felt uncared for and I was looked after so well. I have so much relief for my arthritis and my wound on my foot which I was suffering with for a year and half- completely healed and I was able to walk again. I miss my therapist girls....and my doctors- they are truly my angels. I am looking forward to returning next year summer to have a rejuvenation again. Thank you Dr. Mahesh, Dr. Lakshmi, Dr. Karthika, Dr. Anita- and all the therapists.

My mother had a very happy experience from the treatment for Diabetics at Mitra Hermitage, Thiruvallam. 3 months back the Fasting Sugar was 150 units, at that time we contacted and gone under the treatment of Dr Mahesh, Director Mitra Hermitage. He recommended medicine and suggested proper dietary practice. After that a very drastic change was seen. After taking regular medication for one month and after when Tested Fasting Blood Sugar lowered at 110units. It was very great surprise and satisfaction for us. At the time the doctor instructed to continue the same medications with little changes in medicine and in diet Now she had completed 90 days treatment at Mitra Hermitage. Now the Fasting Blood Sugar came down to 80units and blood sugar is now came under control and the medication completely stoped and now she is under strict diet as instructed by Dr Mahesh Thanks to the support and treatment of Dr Mahesh and team at Mitra Hermitage. I strongly recommend all to get treated at Mitra Hermitage.

I was suffering from severe neck and shoulder pain which radiated to down both hands disabling me doing daily household chores. I had tenderness in both hands which prevented me even from opening a door. I consulted with Dr.Anita Mahesh (Mitra Hermitage Ayurveda Hospital). I was advised to undergo 5 days Ayurvedic treatment and the results I got was beyond my expectations. I would like to refer this hospital for others suffering from the same issues.

I was suffering from pain and restricted movements of shoulder joints and I took anti inflammatory medicines which gave a temporary relief. On stopping them, the pain and movement restriction increased. I consulted with Dr. S Mahesh (at Mitra Hermitage Ayurvedic Hospital) and underwent 3 days of external treatment which had a miracle affect in relieving my pain and regaining all shoulder movements. Before this experience I thought Ayurveda was just massages and the change in my physical condition, after the short treatments, my point of view about ayurvedic treatment changed completely.
