Relaxing in a spa can be quite an elevating experience, more so at 3000 ft.

Situated in the grounds of a Maharaja's palace in the Himalayan foothills, overlooking the sacred towns of Rishikesh and Haridwar, Ananda spa offers a benevolent regime that caters to the body, mind and soul in equal measure.

In a tranquil environment which evokes the five elements, smiling Buddhas, fragrant incense and the floating strains of an Indian flautist, Ayurvedic and an eclectic mix of international treatments will rejuvenate the skin, fight the flab, unknot the muscles and detox the liver. Simply put, Ananda in the Himalayas - a destination from where you will begin a new journey.
