A doctor who brings diagnosis, therapy and progress together
Dr. Upul M. Rajapakshe is the medical director at Thaulle Resort and a registered Ayurveda doctor (BAMS) with the Ayurveda Medical Council of Sri Lanka. At Thaulle he has led the Ayurveda centre on the tranquil Yoda Lake since 2015. With over 25 years of experience and more than 3,000 European guests cared for, he combines classical Medical Ayurveda with an understanding of his European guests' concerns.
His focus is Panchakarma – the most intensive form of the Ayurvedic cleansing cure.

Dr. Upul is on site all year round and cares for German-speaking guests personally.

What your Ayurveda doctor actually does during the cure
A cure at Thaulle is doctor-led – not a series of individual treatments. Dr. Upul accompanies every step.
Initial consultation & assessment
A detailed medical history and pulse diagnosis. Dr. Upul determines your constitution (Dosha) and clarifies your symptoms, goals and history.
Individual treatment plan
Based on the assessment, your personal plan takes shape: treatments, doctor-prescribed medication from the resort's own organic pharmacy, Dosha-appropriate nutrition and daily rhythm.
Daily guidance & adjustment
Up to five treatments a day under medical supervision. Dr. Upul reviews your progress and continually adjusts therapy and medication.
Closing consultation & plan for home
A closing consultation summarises your progress – with concrete recommendations and remedies for the time after your cure.
