Save to favouritesPrintMailAnanda in the HimalayasAnanda is the Sanskrit word for ‘bliss’ and this magnificent retreat certainly lives up to its name. Created from the palace and estate of the Maharajas of Tehri-Garhwal, it's set on a mountain ridge amongst the breathtaking Himalayan foothills. This part of India has a long tradition of yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, so being here is a feast for the soul and a delight for the senses. Unparalleled [i!http://www.i-escape.com/hotel.php?section=activities&hotel_key=IS038!spa] facilities (24 treatment rooms, more than 79 body and beauty treatments, yoga, hydrotherapy and heated pools) and awe-inspiring scenery (100 acres of virgin forest, with the Ganges valley below and snow-white peaks above) allow you to commune with nature whilst revelling in the lap of luxury. You can sign up for a tailored programme of diet, exercise and therapies, or dip into daily yoga, meditation or Reiki classes in tandem with temple trips, rafting, hill-walking and lazy afternoons around the stunning pool. Either way, the superb service, excellent cuisine and attention to detail will leave you feeling serene and refreshed.
