In the Himalayan foothills above Rishikesh, Ananda in the Himalayas occupies a former palace estate surrounded by forest, mountain air and views towards the Ganges valley. Rooms, suites and villas are understated and serene, with balconies, traditional detailing and a wellness-led sense of quiet. The retreat centres on Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, fitness, spa therapies and tailored wellbeing programmes, supported by nourishing dining and landscaped gardens. Its character is contemplative and restorative, shaped less by conventional resort life than by the rhythm of a structured Himalayan wellness stay.
