The practitioners
The clinical eye behind every session.
Dr Krishna Chandran (P.T) is our consulting physiotherapist. He reads the body before anyone touches it — posture, gait, old injuries, the tension you've stopped noticing — and the treatment you receive is shaped around what he finds.

Physiotherapist
A consulting practice brought to the treatment table — clinical rigour behind every plan.
-
Consultation before every session
Pressure, pace and technique adapted to your body. Nothing templated, nothing guessed.

A bench of trained practitioners
The wider team works to a shared standard. You'll meet them in person.
Word of mouth
Answered plainly, by our guests.
Do I need a reservation, or can I walk in?
Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for rituals and couples sessions. Same-day slots often exist but cannot be guaranteed, especially November–February.
What should I do before my first treatment?
Arrive 10 minutes early, avoid a heavy meal beforehand, and mention any medical conditions, allergies or pregnancy at booking so your therapist can adapt in advance.
What if I need to cancel?
We ask for 3 hours’ notice. Later cancellations incur 50% of the treatment cost; no-shows are charged in full. Running late means a shortened session at full price — so the next guest isn’t kept waiting.
Is Hornbill suitable for couples?
Yes. Our two-bed room hosts two therapists side by side, and each of you can choose Swedish, Balinese or Aroma Therapy. Book ahead so the room is held.
Which massage should I book first?
For rest, start with Swedish. For tight shoulders or back, choose Deep Tissue. If you want no oil and some stretching, choose Traditional Thai. Message us on WhatsApp if you are unsure.
How much pressure will I get?
Aroma Therapy and Swedish are gentle to medium, Balinese is medium, and Deep Tissue, Sports and Thai are firm to high. You can ask your therapist to adjust at any time.
Where exactly are you?
We are on the second floor, opposite South Indian Bank, NH 183, Kulathupalam, Thekkady, Kumily. Open daily 8 am–11 pm.
