Ananda & the Spa Experience

Traveling does not always mean that you are on a trek or beach or busy with some site seeing or activity. Sometimes you very much need to relax and take a break from your work. With this tour, offer yourself time to rejuvenate with Spa in the lap of the nature.

 

Once the residence of the Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal since 1910, Ananda in the Himalayas, is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in India and ranked in the Top 10 Spa hotels of the world. Located in the tranquil Himalayan foothills, close to the mythological cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh, surrounded by graceful Sal forests and overlooking the peaceful Ganga as it meanders into the distance, Ananda is the spiritual pathway to the ultimate, discovered through the union of body, mind and soul. It is not just a retreat that will leave you breathless with the enchantment of its surroundings, but assists in redefining lifestyles to include the well-known traditional Indian wellness regimes of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta.

 

There is a wealth of experience to enjoy both within the walls of the Ananda and in the spectacular scenery surrounding this wondrously located lodge, from white-water rafting to trekking, from visiting the beautiful and sacred town of Rishikesh (made famous-back in the day by The Beatles), to just nature walks. Or just witnessing the Aarti Prayers ceremony on the banks of the River Ganges can be mesmerising.
