"Gold Star Service from one of the loveliest humans you could meet"”
"As an educator and retreat leader, Aru was instrumental in organising activities for my group of yoga ladies to take part in. She hosted a cookery class from her kitchen and we all sat around her table and ate the Indian feast. We all had our Ayurvedic doshas diagnosed and had some amazing treatments too. Highly recommended "
Emma Newham - Retreat Leader, UK
"Aru is an excellent host and her home cooked food is delicious."
"It's not often you get a personal invitation to spend time in another persons home while on holiday. Aru's food is the real deal - genuine Indian authentic cooking. A feast was prepared on a thali tray for dinner that was so good, I returned for a traditional Indian breakfast the following morning"

"A fabulous Henna beauty party for me and my friends" "
"Myself and a group of friends wanted our last night in India to be special, so we had some Indian suits made and purchased some jewellery. Aru arranged a Henna party and we all had Henna designs tatooed onto our hands and feet at Aru's place. It was absolutely amazing."
Mrs A Ashman - Nurse, UK
”Aru is the most warm, friendly and welcoming host I've had the pleasure to meet"
"I met Aru at the Sivananda ashram in Kerala, where she helped me adapt to the Indian way of life in the ashram. She has helped me both personally and professionally in so many ways and treated me like family. She's a very caring and approachable lady and is a brilliant home maker, who will go the extra mile to help"

"Feel like a new woman after my Ayurvedic cleansing treatments""
"During my stay in Rishikesh, I was fortunate to discover the Ayurvedic treatments that are on offer at Aru's place. I felt like a new woman by the end of my stay, having indulged in the Panchakarma cleansing practices on a daily basis. Highly recommended"
