Nestled in the tranquil foothills of the Himalayas near Rishikesh and the sacred Ganges, Ananda in the Himalayas stands as India’s premier wellness retreat where ancient wisdom meets modern luxury. Once the Viceregal Palace of the Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal, this serene estate blends royal heritage with soulful rejuvenation.

Spread across 100 acres of lush forest, it offers breathtaking views of the Ganges Valley and snow-capped peaks. The resort’s world-renowned Ananda Spa harmonizes Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta with international wellness therapies, guided by personalized programs in weight management, detox, rejuvenation, and stress relief.

Elegant rooms, suites, and villas feature private balconies or pools overlooking the valley, inviting guests to reconnect with nature and inner peace. Gourmet wellness cuisine, daily yoga sessions, and meditation under ancient sal trees complete the transformative experience.

At Ananda, time slows down, the mind finds stillness, and every breath feels like a gentle prayer to the mountains a journey not just to a place, but to the self.
