Munkudil Ayurveda Yoga Retreat

I stayed at Munkudil by myself and extended my stay not once, but twice. The breathtaking scenery, incredible staff, and Ayurvedic medicinal practices were the three greatest highlights of my time there! Meals are plentiful and fresh here, and taste like true home food. Additionally, there is guided meditation and low-intensity yoga each day. You can pass the days by swimming in the river (your backyard) and if you’re interested in excursions, the very friendly Jishnu will help organize birdwatching, morning kayaking, or a sunset boat tour through the jungle. My advice would be to not be shy and ask about what kinds of activities are going on so you don’t miss out on anything! If you are interested in ayurvedic trea**ents, you’ll definitely want to stay for at least one week — the ayurvedic doctor won’t be able to do much for you if you are only there for a short time (the folks who only stayed for 3 nights hardly saw their doctor at all). I stayed in the Mulla room as well as the Treehouse - both were fantastic experiences. The room was really big and luxurious with a semi-private balcony to give guests a stunning view of the river. The treehouse is perfect for backpackers on a budget, but be aware that you will be right in the middle of nature, so it’s not for the faint of heart! Overall, Munkudil was pure relaxation. I had the most perfect stay and can’t wait to come back!

Very friendly and intimate resort with amazing views, lovely food, nice Pancha Karma and best of all ( for us) daily swims in the river. All very chilled out and relaxed. Ayurvedic doctor on site and trea**ents to suit individual body types, also daily yoga.

fantastic staff , lovely location, great food, very good massages, all in all it was an incredible experience and vale for money on the day that I went kicking I saw a baby Elephant in the wild and a variety of birds

Wow! What a place! Spent two nights with my wife in one of these exotica rooms. Enough space for two! And the view is absolutely incredible! Food was excellent and the staff unbelievably friendly. We enjoyed so much! Don’t forget to book the morning kayaking! The sound of nature, the fresh smell of the river- you will never forget. Relax later with an Ayurvedic body massage or just have a little nap in the hammock. If we come back to Kerala, we most definitely will have a layover here again.

it was a fantastic stay, two days of relaxation, good food and fabulous massages. The terrace in front of the river, the morning banter and the evening light have prepared us for the journey that continues today towards Munnar. It's the best place we could choose to disconnect from everything, away from the noise of the city and surrounded by nature. The beautiful decoration with very good taste and very appropriate to create a**osphere. We must appreciate the attention to our dietary requests. Thanks for everything, great team!!

I usually choose hotels for my stays and Munkudil was out of my comfortable zone and it has changed all my perspective. They have the best crew, best food, best service and moreover the best location with amazing view. It was a rainy day and Me and wife did swimming in the river. They have cute pets which me and wife spent most of the time with. They have swimming pool, yoga class, ayurveda trea**ents. Hope to visit the place again.

Amazing riverside property, could also spot wildlife. Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Yoga in a refreshing hideout. We stayed with family & parents, homely food and great service. Traditional Kerala villa mud plastered for a healthy stay.

We chanced upon Munkudil a couple of months back online and instantly fell in love with the river that flows nearby. We called up, asked for a few more pics of the place and booked for a week's holiday with family. I enjoyed the peaceful life and Kerala food the most at Munkudil. We both were pampered by the staff. The best part was the Ayurvedic massage we got by the balcony. They arranged it especially for us so that we could enjoy the flowing river's murmur, the birds' chatter, and the fresh breeze. Food was awesome. We even saw a herd of elephants and deers dinking water beside the river on the other side.
