Built on a grove of sal trees, Ananda is one of the leading spa retreats of the country. The retreat is located on a 100-acre Maharaja’s Palace Estate, and is surrounded by thick undergrowth of forests. The luxury spa overlooks the spiritual town of Rishikesh and the Ganges river valley below. Ananda manages to integrate traditional Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta with international wellness experiences, fitness and healthy organic cuisine to restore balance and harmonize energy for the guests. No wonder it is a destination spa, where visitors come with single-minded motive to take a step towards wellness.
