Sense—five letters, five genres and a trip to the fifth heaven. From sight to sound to smell to touch to taste, an association with even one arouses distinct experiences. And certain fated destinations tap into all five—be it the amazement of an uber luxurious spa or the nurture of a traditional wellness centre. Illuminating all five sensorial experiences and incorporating five elements of matter—earth, water, fire, air and space, is Kshemavana, the forest of wellness. It is a sanctuary for those who seek to heal—naturally, holistically and sustainably.
