Ananda In The Himalayas

Ananda In The Himalayas

Rawnaq hotel collection

Not all five stars shine. We’ve visited thousands to find the ones that truly do. Why Ananda in The Himalayas ?

Built in 1910 as a palace for the Maharajah of Tehri-Garwal and later transformed into a wellness retreat, Ananda in the Himalayas is an escape from the world. The hotel sits in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India.

 

The most enchanting thing about the Ananda is its setting, 3,000 feet above sea level and in a quiet Sal forest overlooking the spiritual town of Rishikesh. The town is known the world over as the ‘yoga capital of the world’, and sitting just 11 miles away, the hotel is a portal to experiencing the art of ancient Indian healing. Ayurveda, yoga, Vedanta, a stay at the Ananda rejuvenates on every level, and the palace spaces retain much of their former majesty. The decor is neutral and traditional but tasteful, and experiences include high tea, playing billiards in absolute luxury and peacocks wandering about the grounds. On the culinary front, the Ananda’s restaurants draw on the teachings of Ayurveda, which takes into consideration not just taste but also body type suitability. There is the hotel’s main restaurant and tea lounge. There is also a lounge by the hotel’s pool. For more wellness, the spa at the back of the gardens spreads over 25000 sq. ft. Its menu features more than 80 body and beauty experiences alongside an array of other programs and workshops.

 

At Ananda In The Himalayas, your Rawnaq membership rewrites the rules of your stay.
