ð Horrible
ð Review of Haritha Yogshala, Rishikesh â 14-Day Panchakarma
My experience turned out to be extremely disappointing. Below are all the issues I encountered, point by point.
âž»
1. â Arrival & Logistics
⢠I was not picked up upon arrival, unlike other guests who were sent a taxi.
⢠I had to reach the center on my own, with heavy backpacks and multiple transfers.
⢠The location on the map is incorrect, and no one answered my calls. I had to walk around in the heat looking for the place â a very unpleasant start.
âž»
2. â Doctor Consultation
⢠The doctor spoke poor English.
⢠He didnât explain doshas, or how Panchakarma works.
⢠He insisted I get medical tests (for an extra charge), claiming I was ill â even though I said I felt healthy.
⢠In the end, the tests were normal and unnecessary. The doctor admitted he couldnât do Ayurvedic diagnostics without lab reports.
âž»
3. â Treatments & Scheduling
⢠Some procedures were mislabeled or mixed up, and I had to double-check and control my schedule myself.
⢠No daily yoga or meditation took place because there were only two patients.
⢠I tried joining another group for classes, but teachers either arrived 40 minutes late or didnât show up at all.
⢠In total, I attended just one yoga and one meditation class in two weeks.
âž»
4. â Diet
⢠The menu was not adapted for Panchakarma; there was no separate Ayurvedic meal plan.
⢠No dietary advice was given â I had to beg the doctor for information.
⢠No balanced approach â only 5 dishes on the menu were appropriate, the rest were heavy and unsuitable.
âž»
5. â Accommodation
⢠My room smelled like sewage, had no balcony, terrible Wi-Fi, and room service came every 5 days.
⢠When I asked to change rooms, they offered even worse options (old rooms, noisy construction views, or 5th floor).
⢠There was massive construction all around, with constant noise.
⢠The hotel was full of local guests drinking, shouting, and letting children run around late â in a so-called wellness center.
⢠Due to noise and poor internet, I couldnât do my online work â video calls were impossible both inside and out.
âž»
6. â Communication & Organization
⢠There were no lectures, no theory, no orientation.
⢠To go on an excursion, I had to organize everything myself â find a car, set a time, etc.
⢠The doctor was inattentive, distant, and even a bit rude.
⢠Not once did he check on my well-being during the detox.
⢠He only seemed interested in money.
âž»
7. â Self-Managed Detox
⢠I had to remind the doctor about taking ghee or fasting days â he never gave instructions.
⢠I was left to manage my own Panchakarma process, start to finish.
âž»
8. â Payment & Departure
⢠On the day of departure, the doctor did not show up at the agreed time for payment, which almost made me miss my transport to Delhi.
⢠Despite prior request, no transfer was arranged at the right time.
⢠The result â chaos and stress on my final day.
âž»
â
The Only Positive
⢠The massages were okay, but thatâs it.
âž»
ð Final Verdict
I expected a personalized, caring Panchakarma and got:
⢠poor organization,
⢠indifferent staff,
⢠constant issues with service and logistics.
I do NOT recommend Haritha Yogshala to anyone seeking genuine Ayurvedic care, guidance, or a proper healing environment.
