Solar Plexus in the human body is the nerve center where the body accumulates stress. Pressing the right point in the foot reflexology massage the stress can be released and bring about a state of deep relaxation. It also helps in blood circulation. The blood flow to the vital organs is accomplished by stroking certain points on the foot by hands and fingers. This technique can help to heal injured tissues.

A general session of foot reflexology lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. You will need to lie down with bare feet. During the massage you can relax and even fall asleep. This form of massage helps to relieve you of migraine, arthritis, ankle pain, plantar fasciitis, anxiety etc. If you have a particular condition in mind you should communicate the same to the massage therapist. He or she will feel and work around the area on the foot corresponding to the problem. If the therapist finds some congestion or tightness in certain region of the foot, he or she will apply certain amount of pressure to smoothen the part thus achieving the balance in the body.

Having an idea about foot reflexology will encourage you to try it out in our Himalayan hotel Kalmatia Sangam. This type of relaxation will definitely give you a restful and relaxing holiday. 

 

 

Experiencing Kumaoni Village Life

It is not often that a city dweller gets a chance to experience village life and culture amongst the breathtaking scenery of majestic Himalayas. Take the opportunity to walk through the unspoiled Kumaon villages with their terraced fields, pine and rhododendron forests and meet the gentle hospitality of the Kumaon people.

Kalmatia Sangam with Himalayan village resort offers you an opportunity to enjoy the Kumaon rural life during your stay. Take a walk through the forest to the valley and you will be able to see the prominent peaks of Nanda Devi and Trishul ranges.

Staying in a village house provided by the resort is an experience in itself. To retain the authenticity, the cottages are not renovated to any kind of modern architecture. They have mud and lime walls with slated roof as is common in Indian villages. The hut is kept spotlessly clean with comfortable sleeping arrangement. You are provided with fresh sheets and mattresses. What one lacks in an original village house is a modern bathroom. This has been taken care of by the resort and the washrooms are renovated to meet our basic needs. The bathrooms have western toilet, fresh towels and organic soap. The only thing lacking is a hot shower which is more than made up by the provision of bucket of hot water after a tiring

day’s walk.

As the sun sets you can sit in the stone courtyard with a hot drink and watch the sun go down over the mountains turning the peaks to a glowing orange. The view is truly awe-inspiring. In the evening the dinner is cooked in your presence in a healthy and hygienic manner. It is traditional Kumaoni food that you get to taste and enjoy. During the meal you can sit and chat with the locals, listening to their tales from past and anecdotes from their lives. Sometime an entertainment program is put up for your benefit.

The people in the villages are very friendly. They are ready to talk to the guests, show them their lifestyle, and offer them easy hospitality. Here you can shop for some organic food products and hand- made organic jewelries. The overnight Himalayan village resort of Kalmatia Sangam is mainly set up for the guests who take up the trekking program and need to stay overnight after walking.
