Holistic Medical Institutions in Rajasthan

Despite of the fact that several alternative medicine and fitness traditions had diminished over the last few centuries, there has been a revival, especially since independence, and a lot of headway has been made in establishing institutes where these vital sciences are not only taught, they are also offered as courses to visitors.
Some of the few good one are listed here.

Government Yogic Treatment Cum Research Centre (Jaipur) – It is the only government supported yoga centre in India; the institute was established in 1961. Ever since, it has found yoga-based remedies for ailments such as asthma, diabetes and other internal disorders. No medicines are used in the treatment, with yoga being the only method of finding relief from chronic problems. Naturopaths work in a fully-equipped laboratory, and treatment for its patients who reside on the premises is free, as is the board and lodging.

National Institute of Ayurveda (Jaipur)– Established as an ayurvedic college in 1946 by the former rulers of Jaipur, it has since been upgraded, and its impressive complex on Amber Road houses thirteen departments of medicine and an attached hospital.

Nature Cure Centre(Jaipur) – Colloquially called Prakritik Chikitsalaya, this nature cure institute has been a pioneer in the field for last five decades. A health farm, it uses the five elements in its treatment with fasting, sun bathing, mud baths, wet sheet packs, steam baths and water therapy to offer remedies for arthritis, acidity, asthma and other respiratory ailments, bronchitis, colitis, diabetes, heart problems, obesity, jaundice and lumber spondylitis.

Rajasthan Swasthya Yog Parishad (Jaipur)– Yoga consists of breathing and physical exercises, and the proper manner in which there are performed can lead to amazing results in people, curing them of ailments and increasing the longevity of their lives. The organisation here is a training centre in yoga, and has as many ten other centres in Jaipur alone, with more outside the city.

Vipassana Dhammathali Centre For Meditation(Jaipur) – One of the branches of the institute in Maharashtra, this beautiful centre disburses training in the ancient technique of vipassana meditation as practiced two and half thousand years ago by Gautama Buddha.

MICE Conventions Venue in Rajasthan

Meet up in the Pink City
(Hotel Trident in Jaipur)
undoubtedly the best place where the facilities are the most advanced. Till recently, the hotels provided the only venues in the city, and these were and continue to be respectable, both within the city, or just outside, as in the case of venues such as Samode Palace. However, with the addition of the BM Birla Institute in the heart of the city, Jaipur has geared itself for even international meetings.

There are also alternative venues near and around Jaipur where one can hold discussion groups from a large conference, or of course, separate smaller meetings. Most of these are heritage hotels and resorts. One of the best places to conduct a meeting is Samode Palace; a wonderful, old fortified palace that is lavishly painted. It has a Durbar Hall where erstwhile feudal chiefs would meet for important discussions, and where you can meet for your deliberations, of no less import. Another favourite place for domestic travellers is Sariska,a hunting preserve, with a royal lodge, perfect for a seminar or a sales meeting cum incentive.

Meetings in Jodhpur – The second largest city in Rajasthan, Jodhpur has a number of small venues where delegates can meet, but it’s most important converging point, and venue for any business of importance, is likely to be Welcom-group Umaid Bhavan Palace.

No surprise that there are a large number of meeting rooms here. It was the largest private residence in the world. Even today, no other building can rival that status, though the royal family only occupies one wing of the palace. Delegates can meet and stay at the palace. The in-house team also lays on lavish entertainment, whether or within the palace, on its extensive lawns, or on special request for incentives, at the Mehrangarh Fort, which perches above the city for one of life’s most memorable occasions.

Convention Tours in Pushkar – Pushkar is a city of immense religious importance for Hindus. The temples, the ghats, sadhus, colourful shops, and foreigners from around the world make this place a great travelling destination. In a very short time Pushkar has also gained popularity among business travellers. There are hotels and resorts in Pushkar that facilitate convention and business meetings. One of the very good resorts is Pushkar Resorts. It has excellent facility of conference and meetings and above all it almost like an oasis amidst dry stark land. Pushkar is the perfect spot to escape the hectic frenzy of the conventional heritage tourism circuits and instead reinvigorate and relax the body and mind. Forty luxury cottages are complemented by a large fruit orchard and domesticated birds: a veritable oasis along side of the holy lake of Pushkar city.

Spending time in Pushkar Resorts is an enchanting experience, one will find that cottages overlooks majestic Aravali ranges and at the same time as offering an undisturbed view of the surrounding stunning sand dunes. We have radically re-imagined the desert experience. Rather than scattering facilities to fulfill a static idea of luxury and exclusivity, Pushkar Resorts brings different sources of energy together.
