My journey starts in 1990 when during my post-graduation in Ayurveda I went to Ayurvedic Institute at Jamnagar, Gujrat as it has the most extensive works on ayurveda. By grace of God there I met Dr Giorgio Barabino, a great exponent of Ayurveda, yoga and spirituality. A contemporary and personal friend of Dr P. K. Warrior of Aryavaidyashala,Kottakal and spiritual Guru Mrs Vimala Thakkar I was fortunate to meet them and learn from them.
He introduced me to the world of alternative medicine in Europe which eventually led my moving to Belgium in 1996. Together with Guy Leta a doctor of Accupnture , Mrs Hilde Verhulst a renowned therapist and Mr France Deprez an osteopath we created our first health retreat Yamuna Heath , Dehradun, India in 2002 . Later in 2007 with Mr Philippe Hansroul we created an Ayurvedic retreat in Provence, south of France which is running successfully for 17 years. Vanadevi (our latest and finest creation ) is opening its doors in the summer of 2024.
A 1987 graduate of Rishikul State Ayurvedic P.G. Collage, Haridwar was enchanted by Himalayas and great Rishis and Yogis living on the banks of its sacred rivers.

In 1996 he went to Belgium and worked with renowned therapists of various fields. He established Panchkarma /Yoga/wellness centres in Belgium, France and India.

Born and raised in the magnificent Doon valley, gateway to the Himalayas, he has learned and understood the intrinsic connection between humans and nature since childhood. Later for higher education he went to Kerala (God’s Own Country), the southernmost part of India, where people have extremely close bond with nature which can only be matched by the hill people. In 2017 he started his career in hospitality business by developing and successfully running Neer Ganga Resorts in Rishikesh. His second venture was to renovate a heritage property in Mussoorie, The Rink. Vanadevi marks his third project.
