We publish this schedule for several reasons

  • To ensure transparency in our medical treatments. Guests are able to see the treatments we offer; the approximate number of treatments for the duration of their stay. Thus, they know what they can expect from a Panchakarma cure at Surya Lanka.
  • To give potential clients a base by which they can compare the cures offered by other Ayurveda centres.
  • To clearly delineate the 3 stages by which our Panchakarma cure is administered – pre, primary and post treatments.
