Are you about to embark on a wellness trip in India for the first time and want to ensure that you get the most out of your experience? Have you just booked your third or fourth trip and don’t want to make the same mistakes that you have on getaways past? In this article, we have shared some tips and hints to ensure that you make the most of your getaway and return home one hundred percent relaxed. You’ll be booking your next getaway quick smart!

 

1. Remember that not all retreats are created equally
   Every wellness retreat has something different to offer, not to mention that the services or the way they are delivered will differ from place to place. You need to know what you need or expect from your trip to ensure that you make the most of the retreat you have selected (and to help you select the right retreat for your needs).
   
   
2. Take a tour of the retreat
   Upon arrival at your chosen wellness retreat, ask the host or hostess what they have to offer. If you are offered a tour of the premises, do not decline – you might come across something that you would never have discovered otherwise. If you are not offered a tour, do not hesitate to request one after you have been shown to your room.
   
   
3. Prepare a list of questions
   Make sure that you have done your research before embarking on a wellness trip in India. This will allow you to prepare a list of questions if you require clarification before a particular treatment. There might be certain steps that you wish to be excluded, and you could end up paying for them anyway if you aren’t careful.
   
   
4. Ask if there are any existing promotions running
   When making your reservations, it is a good idea to ask about the package you are being offered. In many cases, if you don’t ask about discounts or special offers, you won’t receive them. It is also a good idea to check out the retreat’s website, as they will often advertise running and upcoming promotions here, as well as special discount dates.
   
   
5. Communicate your wishes
   Remember that the therapists in India will probably have different methods to those you are used to. If you are uncomfortable about a step or particular treatment, or you experience discomfort or pain during the service, make sure that you communicate this to your therapist clearly; they will alter their method accordingly.
   
   
6. Don’t be late for your appointments
   Even when visiting a wellness retreat, it is likely that you will have to book your treatments in advance and cannot simply turn up. Make sure that you arrive on time (if not earlier) for your appointment to ensure that you are ready for your therapist. They may need you to take a shower or fill out some paperwork.

 

We hope that the above tips and hints will help you to make the best of wellness trips in India. For many, this is the holiday of a lifetime and we would hate for it to be spoiled simply because you didn’t understand a particular treatment or were running a few minutes late. If you would like to further improve your experience, we recommend speaking with someone who has visited a wellness retreat in India before. They should be happy to share some tips!
