Reviews of Ananda in the Himalayas

Bland premium segment. Mycket bra indisk mat. Bra behandlingar. Fin pool. Lugnt och skönt. Bokade paket 5 dagar med 3 behandlingar om dagen. Yoga, meditation och alla fantastiska spa behandlingar. Minus för att frisör och barberare inte finns på spa.

I thought six nights might be too long, in fact we could have stayed much longer. We celebrated my birthday, the staff could not have been kinder and the surprise chocolate cake was a real treat. Good to see many women travelling alone, it is not always easy to feel comfortable doing this. You don’t need to be on a specific package to join the yoga, Vedanta talks and meditation, if you add a trek and some spa treatments the day soon passes. Or just relax and make the most of this uniquely peaceful place.

This place is just incredible and we will travel every year to be here again if I can. The setting with the Himalayas in the background and the Ganges river below is beautiful.as are the gardens and the buildings. Attention to detail is so well thought out and the staff and teachers are so thoughtful and well trained. Extremely peaceful and serine. This spa covers everything, from all aspects of yoga to spa treatments, exercise, lectures on philosophies of life and amazing food.

14 nachten gewichtsverlies pakket geboekt, en verbleven in kamer nummer 511. Eerder naar Kamalaya geweest en dit was een heel goede vergelijkbaar resort. andere invalshoek nl die van ayurveda met veel behandelingen met kruidenolie en ook sportlessen en massages. in 2 weken was ik zo'n 4 kilo kwijt. Eten was fantastisch, als ook de kooklessen en de informatie die de staff geeft. het zijn die kleine dingen zoals de ochtend thee bij het wakker worden, en de mediatie lessen en vedanta lezingen vond ik erg bijzonder. 

This is such a beautiful retreat in the foothills of the Himalayas. Given the fact that it is nestled just above the village of Rishikesh (which considers itself the yoga capital of the world), you feel like you are wrapped in a spiritual embrace. The people are so warm and welcoming. We were fortunate enough to stay in the two bedroom suite and the suite was absolutely stunning. It had it's own pool that was surrounded by beautiful greenery and a great view of the valley below. A big thank you to Joji who made sure we had everything we needed. If you have time, I highly recommend you take the Kunjapuri Temple Trek. The temple is beautiful and I think we could spot the mountain K2 way in the distance!

I seriously don't feel like words can fully describe this experience. I am so grateful for every moment at this place. 

To begin with the grounds are stunningly beautiful. The greens are so lush, you have bamboo trees, gorgeous flowers, stunning peacocks, beautiful buildings, the list goes on and on. The staff is comprised of the nicest people you will encounter. I did not have one negative experience, they were definitely part of what makes this place special. 

Now for me personally I went for more of a introspective purpose and this place gave me what I needed. The private meditations were so amazing, the yoga sessions were inspiring, the spa services were out of this world. Honestly every healer there was too notch. The rooms and food there were also wonderful! The bed was made for an amazing night sleep and the tea service in the morning was the best way to wake up! I loved it! All in all this place was a gift and I am very grateful for it. I definitely intend to go back and next time for longer than 4 days!
