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 stress programme, running seven, fourteen or twenty-one nights on a Maharaja's palace estate above the Ganges at Rishikesh.
An Ayurvedic physician assesses your constitution and imbalance on arrival, then prescribes a daily programme of abhyanga, shirodhara and marma therapy, Ayurvedic and Western treatments, yoga, pranayama, Vedanta sessions and Emotional Healing work. The kitchen cooks to your dosha throughout.
Anyone whose stress has become chronic and who wants it addressed through a complete system rather than a course of massages.
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.
