Ananda in the Himalayas

I am just leaving Ananda after spending 21 days in the Panchakarma program. I decided on this program in pursuit of the physical changes- the rejuvenation and detoxification. But this experience was equally if not more about the mental detox. Dr Naresh constructed a personalized 3 week program that was both comforting and challenging in all the right ways. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the entire Ananda team for their meticulous care that extended through every aspect of the experience. As someone who has not experienced such next level hospitality, it was an adjustment on my end to feel comfortable RECEIVING this level of care. To the restaurant team, thank you for the exceptional care day in and day out. Special special thanks to Nidhi!! A few more thank you’s to the staff: Swati, your personalized meditation sessions were absolutely life changing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would return to Ananda just to experience a session with you again. Renju, Aleema and Lakshmi, you carry extraordinary skills as Ayurvedic therapists and it was a highlight of my day when I had a session with you. And front desk manager Diyva— thank you for going out of your way to ensure my comfort as a young solo woman. Couldn’t have made it through without you! Is it expensive? Yes? Is it absolutely worth it? YES!

From the moment you arrive, the hospitality at Ananda is exceptional. A special mention to Soumya, whose warmth, care, and attention to detail made this stay even more memorable. He truly made us feel at home. The personalisation was remarkable—they took care of even the smallest of needs without us having to ask. The therapies were excellent, especially the acupuncture and sound healing sessions, which were the absolute highlights of the trip. The trekking activity was beautifully curated. A big shoutout to Dinesh Singh, our trek guide, who was knowledgeable, encouraging, and made the experience both fun and meaningful. Ananda is the perfect blend of wellness, luxury, and connection—with nature, with self, and with the most thoughtful team. Can’t wait to return! Best, Namita Thapar

Following the death of my husband, my life spiraled into chaos, turned upside down. My mental, physical and spiritual state was catastrophic. I was looking for a clinic that could save me and it was ChatGPT who recommended Ananda les Himalayas! I stayed there for 3 weeks. Upon my arrival, the warm welcome, the beauty of this former Maharaja palace, the meticulously tended gardens, reminiscent of a Monet painting, everything is designed to bring peace and well-being to the soul and concentration towards healing. If you read the credentials of each doctor, each therapist, masseuse, kitchen staff, dining room staff, service staff or even gardener, you appreciate their kindness, dedication and professionalism! Every element and treatment makes you feel uniquely cared for, with all attention devoted to rebuilding both body and mind. Ananda is special in its approach to finding the right treatment for each case and giving back life to those who feel lost as I did when I arrived or more simply giving back youth or strength which gradually diminishes in a world of stress, pollution and violence. It has been 1 month since I returned home, and the observation is that - I feel strong, full of life and joyful! that the pain of separation from my husband has transformed into a spiritual love full of light and Love. My tears of longing have turned into smiles for life, I can now accept in calm and peace the eternal rest of my husband. Thank you all. Thank you for saving me ! Not only do I recommend Ananda to all those who read me but I will return every year to refocus my ethereal self to my physical body and also to see the Tree of Life I was honored to plant in the magnificent gardens of this Himalayan sanctuary. Many thanks to everyone at Ananda the Himalayas for your thoughtfulness and professionalism.

Amazing wellness clinic for absolute relaxation & high quality body massage. You need to go there for at least 3 nights. We were there for 7 nights & it has given me excellent results from health point of view. With Peacocks, Parrots & various other birds, you are close to nature. You can see Hrishikesh from your balcony.
