Swirled in the sacred mists of time, nestled in the Himalayas is Ananda, a world class Destination Spa. Once the residence of Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal, it is dedicated to today’s traveler, who is looking for innovative ways to restore and rejuvenate his energies.
 
 
Ananda-In the Himalayas is located in the region that gave birth to Ayurveda, a scientific process of identifying the imbalance in the main bio energies (3 Doshas, called Vata, Pitta and Kapha) of the body and correcting that to achieve health and harmony. For centuries most of the herbs used in Ayurvedic therapies have been sourced from the natural wealth of these forested foothills.  

The 21,000 square foot spa offers an extensive menu of over 79 body and beauty treatments, integrating the traditional Indian systems of Ayurveda with the more contemporary Western spa approach. The spa experience strives to achieve the ultimate harmony between the physical and the mental realms of the individual.
 


The preferred destination for the discerning traveller, Ananda offers 70 deluxe rooms and 5 suites, each with unparalleled views of the river Ganges, the town of Rishikesh or the Palace. Adhering to the concept of holistic health and well-being, is the tempting cuisine at the Restaurant, carefully prepared to rejuvenate, revitalise and renew you.

An array of outdoor adventure activities and thrilling explorations into the Himalayas, Ganges and surrounding National Parks thrills you as you exlpore the unbridled wilderness through wind, water and trekking encounters.

Location Guide


Located just 260 kilometeres north of New Delhi, Ananda is easily accessible by road, rail and air. A 45 minute flight to Jolly Grant airport, a 4 1/2 hour train journey from Delhi to Haridawar station and a scenic 6 hour drive from New Delhi to the spa are the different travel options.

Alongwith its geographical proximity to the holy Indian towns of Rishikesh and Haridwar, Ananda also echoes with the royal persona of the Maharaja of Tehri Garhwal, a ruler in whose times the palace precincts resounded with the footsteps of political and spiritual personages. His palace was also blessed with the divine presence of Ma Anandamayi, a renowned propitiator of universal love whose aura lingers in Ananda's premises.

Ananda- In the Himalayas has been voted amongst the top 5 spas in the world by lifestyle and travel publications like Conde Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure. In addition to superlative reviews in publications like Harpers and Queens, Harpers Bazaar, New York Times and International Herald Tribune, it is also the only spa in India to be awarded the prestiguous 5 wave certificate by BISA (British International Spa Association).
