On meeting Dr Sundara for a consultation and hearing of the marvellous results my friend had experienced herself and witnessed on others, I knew straight away that this was the place I was to return to for my first Ayurvedic Panchakarma. My friend had witnessed so many transformations in people that there was no doubt on the authenticity of Dr Sundara. Dr Sundara is incredibly knowledgeable and so interesting to talk to that I could listen to him for hours. I can't wait to come back!

“A place that is surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, A place that is truly magical, A place that allows you to be and feel connected to who you are. This is Mountain Top Clinic.

A good friend had recommended MTC and suggested I go and take the journey that is a Panchakarma. What a journey and what a place to do it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this transformative experience. To feel the amazing healing energy and have it work on me has been a privilege.

I cannot thank Dr Sundara, his wife and amazingly dedicated team enough for the experience I have had. And of course helping me begin my personal Ayurvedic journey. I know without any hesitation that I will be returning to the magic that is Mountain Top Clinic”

I have been a patient and have sent several friends to see Dr Sundara and cannot recommend him highly enough. Firstly in my experience he has complete integrity. A profoud presence and a deep understanding. The ability to listen with an acute mind and an open heart and developed intuition. These skills together with his training in Ayruveda make him an outstanding doctor in all the best senses of the the title. He is a healer. A comfort to the unwell, whether in mind , body or spirit. He does not make promises he cannot keep, he works with the patient and their fears to understand the causes of their imbalances and dis-ease, he is calm and holds the space beautifully in order for the patient to start of their healing journey. Because of his skill and intuition he can understand what each person needs from the point of view of herbs/medicine and diet and will tirelessly take care of them, beyond the call of normal 'duty'. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr Sundara, and not only will I visit him regularly, but I have recommended to many friends to go and see him, and they all have had incredible experiences and healing. And that is from dis-ease that western medicine has no answer for. His Mountain Top Clinic is beautifully situated, and Dr Sundara will pay attention to detail as no-one else would. I believe he has a true calling and if you are lucky enough, or wise enough, go and have an amazing experience, to rejuvenate, to heal, or to deeply rest. Namaste.

I first became acquainted with Dr Sundara in 2007 whilst on a year sabbatical from the corporate world. 6 months into my travels I took a leap of faith and enrolled on a 12 week Ayurveda therapist training course with Dr Sundara. From the first lesson on the concept of Ayurveda it all made perfect sense and my love affair with Ayurveda began thanks to Dr Sundara. Ayurveda is a simpler approach to looking after the body in a traditional way we have long forgotten in the West. If you are looking to address an underlying health issue or simply to disconnect and recharge your batteries you could not be in better hands than with Dr Sundara who truly cares about each and every one of his patients and students. His enthusiasm and passion for Ayurveda is infectious. In a fast world you need a slow and deliberate place to revive and rejuvenate. The Nilgiris Mountains are such a magical place amidst the tea plantations in the hills above Coonoor, the climate is perfect. I would thoroughly recommend Mountain Top clinic to anyone who truly wants an authentic Ayurveda experience.

Mountain Top clinic is one of the most special places I have been. It has an amazing healing energy. I was delighted with my visit there. I could feel so much peace and beauty around. Immediately I felt connected with myself and deeply relaxed. This place was carefully chosen by Dr Sundara, who has an awesome sense for healing. I have been patient and student of Dr Sundara I can say that from the moment I met him I could feel how great person and doctor he is. I admire his humility, honesty and above all, his deep love for everyone and his deep wisdom. All these qualities make him an excellent doctor. He is amazing diagnosing and treating the most complicated situations. Being treated and studying with Dr Sundara completely changed my life to a healthier and wiser way of living. He is definitely a top doctor. I loved the way Dr Sundara and his family make everyone feel like at home. It is such a healing and loving experience. Thank you Dr Sundara and family for helping so many people to discover the power and wisdom of Ayurveda.

I'm a student of Dr Sundara since 8 years. He teaches me Ayurveda and I became a therapist and open my own place in Palma de Mallorca. I decided to go back to him at the mountain top clinic this year because I had a lot of signs of imbalances. Like stiffness in the morning especially in the feet, my whole body was aching when i wanted to rest and a dull head when I wake up in the morning, a kind of burn out and the nerve system on top. My fingers started to deform in the joints( I thought is from giving massages). And I want to know more, to be able to help my clients. So I booked and he started directly with Panchakarma and the ghee-drinking. After 3 days I got up without pain in the feet. It's amazing, I tried everything before. Now I'm back at home I feel so good, clear, the joints in my hands recovered 60 %, my mind is clear, and I'm full of power and new wisdom. It was an amazing trip to myself to heal and to learn. He was in a special change to. I was testimony in the opening- ceremonies for his new mountain top clinic in the Nilgiris mountain among the tea fields, surrounded only by nature. It's a spiritual and clean place; you only can hear millions of birds. I had the luck to be one of the first one who stayed there and got treatments. It's the perfect place to heal easily. I'm happy for him and his family and for every patient WHO has luck to be there.

In order to go deeper into the ancient knowledge of Ayurveda I decided to go to India and study this science of life. I spent six months all together learning Ayurveda under the teachings of my guru Dr. Sundara. It fascinated me to learn about its philosophies and to see in practice how patients responded to Dr. Sundara's Ayurvedic treatments during my internship with him. Studying Ayurveda under Dr. Sundara continues to be a blessing because besides from being extremely kind he is very knowledgeable in Ayurveda, the science of life. His differential is that he is fluent in Sanskrit and familiar with many classical Ayurveda textbooks. Knowledge provided by him comes from the source. It comes from the Vedas and ancient classical textbooks such as Charaka Samhita, Susruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hrudaya. His teachings are designed to help you use Ayurveda in a practical way without loosing its ancient, traditional knowledge. This is particular interesting to me so I can integrate the Ayurveda knowledge appropriately to my nutrition practice in a way that I can continue to help counseling and guiding my clients to understand how their eating habits and lifestyle practices affect their health and happiness.
