Mysuru, Karnataka — Manasthala Mindful Living, a homestay and wellness retreat centre located in the quiet lanes of Gokulam, Mysuru, is redefining the travel experience for guests seeking rest, reflection, and holistic healing. Founded by Ajay Kumar Warrier after his return to Mysore following 45 years abroad, Manasthala combines comfortable accommodation with authentic Ayurvedic care and a calendar of mindful events.
The property offers a range of clean, hospitable rooms starting from ₹1,100 per night, including the Srinivas Apartment rooms and the spacious Park View Bungalow, a 3BHK option suited for families and groups of up to six. Guests have access to a self-kitchen, filtered drinking water, high-speed Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and on-request laundry services, all within a peaceful, community-oriented setting.
Beyond stays, Manasthala runs fully customizable wellness retreats lasting three days or more, bringing together yoga, Ayurveda, nourishing food, and community living in a structured programme. For those seeking medical wellness, the Kottakkal Ayurveda Shala at Manasthala, an extension of the Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala tradition trusted since 1902, provides personalised consultations and classical treatments such as Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Njavarakizhi, Nasya, Netra Tarpana, and Virechana. These Ayurvedic services are open to walk-in guests as well, not just residents.
