Kalari Kovilakom, a 19th century palace in the hills above Palakkad, Kerala, recently converted into an ayurvedic resort. Although born in the Himalayas some 5000 years ago, Ayurveda evolved and continued in Kerala - a long strip of tropical lushness falling down to the south of the Indian land mass. While practiced as a life form by the state's inhabitants, ayurveda has been in the middle of a tourism boom in recent years. Spurred on by the spa industry, dozens of resorts have since opened their doors; Kalari Kovilakom the latest. With no shoes, news, meat, alcohol, salt, sugar or caffeine, mobile phones or laptops, plus hours of yoga, meditation and treatments a day, it is not for the light hearted. An attempt to "recreate the traditional ayurvedic sanatorium, but in palatial surroundings" says the hotel.
