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.


A long-form women's programme at Ananda addressing menstrual irregularity, pain, PCOS and cycle-related symptoms through classical Ayurvedic treatment over fourteen or twenty-one nights.
Assessment by an Ayurvedic physician sets a staged protocol: panchakarma and uttara basti therapies where indicated, herbal formulations, yoga and pranayama selected for the reproductive system, and a prescriptive dosha-based diet. The length allows a full cycle to be observed and treated.
Women whose cycles have been a problem for years and who want a system that treats them as central rather than incidental.
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.
