Ananda In The Himalayas

Residing in the former Palace Estate of the Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal, it sprawls across the 100-acre grounds, gardens and surrounding forests, boasting world-class wellness facilities and a chance to return to the peaceful solitude of nature. 

This spiritual location, the birthplace of Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation, has attracted wellness seekers from around the world to Ananda on an annual pilgrimage. Ananda integrates traditional Ayurveda and holistic wellbeing with yoga and meditation, emotional healing, spiritual awareness, and healthy organic cuisine to restore balance and harmonize energy. 

At Ananda, specially curated menus are tailor-made to each dosha, incorporating seasonal variations in cuisine as well as recommended styles of cooking. The six fundamental food categories of sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent are combined with the three macronutrients of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, all of which provide certain nutritional factors that are key to good health. The emphasis is on fresh, natural foods that are low in fat and calories- using whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins like chicken and fish, low-fat dairy products, and avoiding added or artificial salts, colours, flavours, or preservatives. 

All therapies, counselling sessions, and healing interventions are conducted in a serene, Himalayan setting - encouraging introspection and inner stillness. The peaceful surroundings of Rishikesh, combined with Ananda’s expert-led guidance, help guests reconnect with their authentic selves and access deeper states of awareness.
