The holiday season has always carried with it the promise of rest and renewal. However, even a short weekend getaway often comes with its own set of demands like flight fatigue, hectic itineraries, late nights, and social obligations

A restorative retreat:

Whether it’s a long holiday abroad or a short weekend escape, wellness therapies and massages are proving to be the missing piece for complete rejuvenation. Sonam Zangpo, Wellness Director at Ku Nye Wellness Centre at Sariska Lodge, explains how even small rituals can shift the tone of a holiday.

“Incorporate simple daily wellness rituals like morning meditation, breathwork, or gentle yoga to ground your day. Dedicate time for one or two full spa experiences to combat holiday stress, travel fatigue. Long flights, new environments, and disrupted sleep can strain your body. Spa therapies help recalibrates your system.”

Checking emotional stress:

From constant social gatherings to adjusting to new surroundings, holidays often demand more energy than expected. This is where wellness check-ins can make all the difference. A massage, a guided meditation, or even a short yoga practice can restore inner calm and balance. As Zangpo puts it, “Wellness practices enhance mindfulness, helping you truly feel the moment, rather than rush through it. These therapies are ideal for creating a balanced and revitalizing travel experience.”

Wellness therapies also have a universal appeal that transcends age and fitness levels. Gentle, restorative treatments work just as well for seniors as they do for young professionals looking for a quick reset. Zangpo emphasises, “Wellness therapies focus on relaxation, healing, and overall balance, making them widely loved and accessible regardless of age or fitness level. It helps in reducing stress, improves mental clarity, and enhances physical vitality while reconnecting with nature in a deeply restorative way.”
