Ananda in the Himalayas is a sanctuary of serenity, where royal heritage meets world-class wellness in one of India’s most spiritually significant settings. Set within the historic Viceregal Palace, once the residence of the Maharajah of Tehri Garhwal—the retreat offers guests a rare opportunity to experience regal living amidst the tranquil beauty of the Himalayan foothills.

Surrounded by 100 acres of lush gardens and forested landscapes, the property commands breathtaking views of the mountains, the sacred Ganges River, and the ancient spiritual city of Rishikesh. This extraordinary location has long been associated with reflection and renewal, making it an ideal setting for those seeking balance and inner peace. Within the palace, echoes of its storied past remain.

Guests can unwind in the elegant Viceregal Tea Lounge or enjoy the timeless charm of the Maharajah’s billiard room, where old-world sophistication is preserved with care. Complementing this heritage are beautifully appointed rooms, suites, and villas, each designed to provide contemporary comfort while maintaining a sense of calm and understated luxury.

At the heart of Ananda lies its holistic approach to wellness, inspired by traditional Indian practices such as Ayurveda, yoga, and meditation. The spa offers personalized programs that integrate these ancient disciplines with modern therapies, creating transformative experiences tailored to individual needs.

Beyond wellness, guests can savor refined dining at the restaurant’s Tree Top deck, relax beside the pool with sweeping valley views, or indulge in private dining set in picturesque corners of the estate. Attentive service ensures every moment is seamless and restorative. Ananda in the Himalayas reimagines the timeless Indian tradition of retreating to the mountains, offering a peaceful escape from modern life and a path toward lasting harmony.
