Posted on Robert MVerified Elephant Pass Ayurvida and Yoga Centre Elephant Pass Ayurvida and Yoga Retreat is a calm, relaxed resort in a beautiful setting. Don't expect to see any elephants, they're a little further up the road. The staff were very helpful. My friend and I stayed for two nights (we were in transit at the time) and practiced Yoga in the morning and also took on a relaxing full body massage. The rooms are basic but adequate. As hungry cyclists we would have preferred more food options with the meals (don't expect a full on buffet) but the staff did make an effort to supply some addional requested items for our dietary needs. We booked late and all in all this was a nice quiet unfussed place to stay with beautiful sunsets thrown in too.Posted on Dasha - Sun of BeachVerified A place with a Soul My stay at Elephant Pass was a very calm and grounding experience. Life here follows a natural and gentle daily rhythm that quickly feels comfortable. The position of the building itself is just perfect: while it is hot, there is a natural shadow and you can stay freely out of your room. At the same time you can e joy both - the morning and the afternoon sun for sunbathing. In the morning wake up to birds singing, with no traffic or noise, only greenery and the river nearby. The day starts with morning yoga. The teacher is very well educated, with a strong theoretical background, and always available for questions. She explains the body, breathing and yoga principles in a clear and thoughtful way, which adds a lot of depth to the practice. After yoga, there is time for a short walk through the nearby village. The local people are kind, open and welcoming. Bringing small gifts or treats from your home country is a lovely idea and is always appreciated. Breakfast is served either indoors or in a gazebo by the river. You can quietly watch birds flying and singing while enjoying freshly prepared Ayurvedic food. The meals are simple, traditional and extremely fresh. Everything feels clean, safe and nourishing. As a sophisticated traveller I can confirm that. Later in the morning, the first treatment takes place. The therapist is gentle, attentive and professional, and the sessions are relaxing and comfortable. After some rest, lunch is served, followed by a second treatment later in the afternoon. In the evening, yoga focuses on relaxation, breathing and meditation. After dinner, the day naturally slows down, and you go to sleep early, falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of nature. The rooms are spacious, very clean and comfortable. Air conditioning works perfectly, and there is always hot water with good water pressure. Every evening, the entire property is gently fumigated with natural herbs, which keeps insects away. This makes outdoor dining comfortable, and during my ten-day stay I did not see a single insect in my room. The location is also convenient. The retreat is not far from the airport (Cochin) and the transfer is easy and not tiring. I truly believe this place has a soul. And its soul is the people who work here! Their warmth, care and presence are what make Elephant Pass a special and meaningful place to stay.Posted on pammiewallisVerified A great experience Staying at the elephant pass resort was an unforgettable experience Accommodation food treatments and professional people quite amazing. I just wish I could have stayed longer. This place is a special gem. Thank youPosted on Kiran AVerified Worth the journey Amazing location. Epitomises the term ‘God’s own country’ perfectly. Fantastic massage and treatment options. Good vegetarian food. Extremely helpful and supportive staff.

Would stay longer next time- the treatments were so good- best ever! People adorable ???? thank you ????????Posted on Alexis SVerified Relax and disconnect in tropical paradise I spent one week at Elephant Pass and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The location is absolutely stunning, set along the Periyar River, and offers a truly peaceful and serene atmosphere. The resort grounds are beautifully maintained and enhance the sense of calm throughout the property. What truly made my experience special was the staff. Everyone was exceptionally kind, friendly, and welcoming, and they went out of their way to make my stay memorable. I felt deeply relaxed and rejuvenated after my Ayurvedic treatments, and I appreciated that the doctor checked in on me almost every day. The food was another highlight—delicious, varied, and full of wonderful local flavors. While the rooms could benefit from some modernization, the overall experience more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend Elephant Pass for the warmth of the staff, the quality of the food, and the overall sense of care and tranquility.Posted on Hassan AVerified مكان هادئ وجميل، خدمة رائعة وتجربة أيورفيدا مميزة تستحق الزيارة تجربة من أجمل ما يكون! المكان هادئ بشكل يخليك ترتاح من أول لحظة. الطبيعة حوالينك خيال، والنهر يعطي إحساس رايق وطاقة إيجابية. العاملين محترمين جدًا وتعاملهم راقٍ ويهتمّون بكل التفاصيل. جلسات الأيورفيدا كانت مريحة ومفيدة بشكل كبير، والأكل صحي ولذيذ. الجو العام كله يساعد على الاسترخاء وتجديد الطاقة. باختصار: مكان يستحق الزيارة وبقوة، وراح أرجع له أكيد.Posted on Susanne KVerified Wonderful Ayurveda & Yoga experience at Elephant Pass Resort We had 11 days at Elephant Pass next to the holy river Peribavour with daily Ayurvedic treatments, massage and yoga morning and night. We woke up every morning with stunning birdsong and running squirrels in the lovely garden. Our yoga teacher was brilliant. All staff very kind, professional and service minded. The massage and treatments were great. Food all together vegetarian and Indian was a true experience. We can strongly recommend a stay at Elephant Pass.Posted on Cruiser36282376745Verified Wonderful , serene , peceful escape to stay .. very rare at this price !!

Posted on Olivia MisuracaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of staying at this Resort which I had originally planned to stay at for five days but ended up extending for two weeks. The location of the Resort is right beside the beautiful river which every afternoon you can see the most exquisite sunsets. It’s quite relaxed and if you’re looking for a place that is amongst nature like I was this is the place to be. The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff are friendly and go out of their way to help you. They even hosted a cooking class and took us on day trips as well. I took a full board package while I was staying there and the food was absolutely delicious and also they gave a large variety of different dishes. The only downside to this place would be that the Wi-Fi was very slow so maybe keep that in mind if that is something that’s really important to you. But in all it is a fantastic place to stay.Posted on Julie HolmesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed for 17 nights. We signed up for the rejuvenating package of two daily treatments. All meals and herbal drinks. On site doctors visits.Two sessions of daily yoga and meditation. We enjoyed the food. The team led by Thomas are great, nothing is too much trouble. My therapist Nimisha was gentle and professional. Dr Sara helped to calm my anxious husband. When we arrived we were stressed from a difficult year having moved house. After a week our health mentally and physically improved. We met lovely people and we felt part of a warm caring family. We loved the river and peaceful surroundings, where the many birds came, the fish jumped and the locals fished and bathed in the holy Perivar river. We really slowed down. We had a cookery demonstration a typical buffet meal served on a palm leaf. We also had a couple of trips to St Thomas Church, a temple in the forest and a longer road trip to Fort Cochin. We would thoroughly recommend this place to restore peace and vitality into your life. My skin, hair and nails are glowing first time in ages. My husband seems calmer and healthier. He celebrated his 76 th birthday and we had a lovely cake and small party. A big thanks to Thomas the manager for sorting out everything. Dr Sara for starting and monitoring our health. Dr Archanaraj for the yoga particularly the breathing exercises. Saneesh for the delicious food. Saratha for the gentle service. Pushottsma for his maintenance. Nimisha for my treatments, Shinto for collecting flowers and administering my husband’s treatments. Vishnu for accompanying us out to the bank. The owners for a their attention.Posted on Pammie WallisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the great pleasure of staying at elephant pass resort.
