Ananda Resort
Nestled in the Himalayas is Ananda, a world class destination spa dedicated to restore and rejuvenate body, mind and soul. Once the residence of Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal, Ananda is the ultimate escape not just from travel but from everyday life to the spiritual. Grounded in Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta combined with contemporary international therapies your experience at Ananda is a holistic journey that combines pure indulgence, complete well being and total rejuvenation of the mind, body and soul through a combination of spa wellness packages. Ananda’s food concept is based on principles from Ayurveda: Personal menus are designed to fit three body types - Vata constitutes air and space - Pitta is made up of fire and water, and Kapha is water and earth. The guest rooms, suites and villas at Ananda are designed with space and colors that echo nature, and views that leave one gazing into the enchantment. The 24,000 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. Located just 260 km north of New Delhi, Ananda is easily accessible by road, rail and air. A 45 minute flight to Jolly Grant airport or a 4 hour train journey from Delhi to Haridwar station, plus 1 hour transfer by car.
