Ananda in the Himalayas occupies a Maharaja's palace estate above Rishikesh, 100 acres of sal forest looking down on the Ganges as it leaves the mountains. It has been the reference point for serious Ayurveda since it opened in 2000.
Every stay begins with a physician consultation that sets your dosha, your diet and your treatment plan. The 24,000ft² spa runs Ayurveda, yoga, Vedanta and Emotional Healing alongside Western therapies, and the kitchen cooks to your prescription rather than a menu.
Ananda's hormonal programme, seven, fourteen or twenty-one nights in the Himalayan foothills, addressing thyroid, adrenal and reproductive hormone imbalance through classical Ayurveda supported by Western testing.
An Ayurvedic physician and a Western doctor assess you jointly, then prescribe a staged programme of panchakarma therapies, herbal protocols, yoga and pranayama tuned to the endocrine system, and a dosha-specific diet. Reviews are daily and the protocol adapts as markers shift.
Women and men whose hormonal symptoms have been treated in isolation, and who want the whole system looked at instead.
A thoughtfully curated collection of experiences designed to enrich your stay. From wellness and nature to culture and gastronomy, each moment invites you to slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the essence of the estate.
