Vrindavan Ayurveda Chikitsalayam, a trusted name in Ayurvedic care, has entered into a strategic partnership with Kerala’s renowned Vaidyaratnam Group, marking a significant transformation in holistic wellness. Relaunched as Vaidyaratnam Vrindavan Ayurveda Chikitsalayam (VVAC), this premier wellness center is located in the picturesque Shivalik Foothills near Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. With its serene landscape and cutting-edge infrastructure, VVAC offers a unique blend of traditional Ayurvedic therapies and modern amenities, positioning itself as a go-to destination for holistic healing in North India.
Spread across a 25-acre hilltop campus, VVAC is surrounded by 500 acres of reserved forest, providing a tranquil setting for physical, mental, and spiritual rejuvenation. The center integrates Kerala’s classical Panchakarma therapies with a focus on “Ayurveda First”—a philosophy that prioritizes Ayurveda as a preferred option for preventive and curative healthcare.
Rishi Garg, Founder of VVAC, shared:“Our partnership with Vaidyaratnam brings world-class Ayurvedic treatments to North India. Guests who previously traveled to Kerala can now access the same expertise here in Himachal Pradesh, delivered by skilled professionals in a state-of-the-art facility.”
VVAC features 60 well-appointed rooms across three residential blocks—Madhav, Krishna, and Govind—offering options like Studio, Standard, and Premium accommodations to cater to solo travelers, families, and groups. With amenities like Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and laundry services, the center ensures a comfortable stay for up to 100 guests.
At its heart lies a three-story treatment block equipped with specialized rooms for therapies like Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and Pizhichil. Designed for accessibility and privacy, the block features separate treatment areas for male and female guests. Complementing this is a 7,500 sq. ft. yoga and meditation hall, ideal for spiritual and mental rejuvenation, with advanced audio systems and an elevated stage for sessions.
VVAC specializes in personalized Panchakarma treatments targeting ailments like arthritis, neurological disorders, skin diseases, hypertension, and anxiety. The collaboration with physiotherapy experts from ReLiva enhances care by offering rehabilitation for musculoskeletal and cardiovascular conditions, sports therapy, and pain management.
The center’s Kashyapura unit prepares fresh oils and herbs for treatments, ensuring authenticity and quality from start to finish.
Dining at VVAC is a unique experience. Tulsi Vanam, a sattvic cafeteria curated by nutritionist Sangeeta Khanna, serves meals made from organic produce grown on the center’s 15-acre organic farm. Each meal is customized to complement individual treatment plans, highlighting diet as a key part of the healing journey.
Spiritual well-being is integral to VVAC’s philosophy, with three temples dedicated to Lord Krishna, Goddess Kali, and Lord Dhanwantri on the campus. Guests can participate in daily aartis, cow feeding at the Govind Ji Gaushala, and meditation sessions, fostering a sense of peace and connection.
VVAC holds NABH certification and is empaneled with CGHS, the Haryana Government, and CAPF, offering cashless and reimbursable treatments. Health insurance coverage is also available. Strategically located 31 km from Chandigarh, the center is easily accessible by road, rail, and air, attracting guests from Delhi, Punjab, and neighboring states.
Internationally, VVAC has already garnered attention, with 60% of foreign guests coming from Russia and 40% from the UK. The center has also hosted notable Indian personalities, including families of Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana and musician B Praak.
VVAC is more than just a wellness retreat—it champions eco-conscious living and sustainable practices. With plans to expand its services, the center is set to become a beacon of responsible wellness tourism.
Nestled in the serene Shivalik Foothills near Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, VVAC is a state-of-the-art Ayurvedic wellness center that seamlessly blends Kerala’s classical Ayurveda with modern hospitality. Offering personalized treatments, holistic wellness programs, and a tranquil environment, VVAC is a premier destination for healing and rejuvenation.

TIA Wellness Resort is redefining how guests unwind with the launch of its new range of wellness bath rituals, designed to bring together relaxation, indulgence, and thoughtful experiences.
Set along the scenic coastline of Da Nang, the resort introduces four distinct bath rituals, Deep Slumber, Detox Harmony, Radiant Glow, and Romance Bliss each created to suit different moods and wellness needs. These experiences go beyond the usual soak, combining curated lighting, infused bath ingredients, personalised wellness drinks, and themed treats to elevate the overall experience.
Each ritual also encourages guests to begin with a pre-bath treatment, helping the body fully relax and making the soak more effective.
“There are many trends in wellness that come and go but a relaxing soak in a tub has long been known to be beneficial,” said Ramon Imper, general manager of TIA Wellness Resort. “We’ve taken a simple yet effective wellness practice and elevated it into an experience that we hope guests will remember long after their holiday.”
The Deep Slumber ritual focuses on improving sleep quality, starting with calming therapies before leading into a lavender-infused bath with natural ingredients like Epsom salts and dried mugwort. Soft lighting and a Lavender Reishi Latte add to the calming atmosphere, helping guests ease into rest.
For a more cleansing experience, the Detox Harmony ritual draws from traditional Vietnamese botanical practices. It blends native forest herbs with ingredients like ginger and lemongrass, complemented by a detox tea and healthy treats, creating a refreshing reset for both body and mind.
The Radiant Glow ritual is centred around skin nourishment, featuring a floral bath infused with green tea, rose petals, honey, and coconut milk. Guests can pair this with a refreshing collagen-based drink and skincare elements for a complete glow-focused experience.
Meanwhile, the Romance Bliss ritual is designed for couples, offering a candlelit bath setup with floral elements, essential oils, and indulgent touches like chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne, creating a warm and intimate setting.
With these new offerings, TIA Wellness Resort continues to focus on holistic wellness, blending traditional practices with modern comforts to create meaningful and memorable stays.
