Ananda in the Himalayas

I were on relaxing and leisure trip. I must appreciate the aptitude of the staff from reception to spa, restaurant, housekeeping. This aptitude is as in built and not compulsive, for which Head HRD and CEO vision are appreciable. Kindly Maintain. The physiotherapist Dr Sujata explained my problem with reasons and solutions. Food is simple and plain. Garwali thali is local cuisine and good. However, Green apple Jalebi was not upto mark and on pointing this they did not offer replacement. Except this restaurent experience, stay was pleasant and a must try in luxury.

We booked a 10 night stay here with packages specially created and selected for each of us . It was our second visit here after many years , and we were as happy as we’re on our first visit . This is a place you go to take a break from your daily life stresses and immerse yourself in taking care of yourself , body , mind & soul . From the moment you arrive , there is serene peace which is felt from all the staff in the property. Then when your program begins , from meditation, yoga , personalised massages and treatments to , healthy meals prepared by some of the best chefs to Vedanta evening talks . .. you know you are here to reflect and make your own journey of your stay here memorable . A huge thank you to everyone at this magical place of healing .

Simply iNCREDIBLE.. we have just celebrated our 25th anniversary here, and it could not have been more special. The place is magical. The lush greenery surrounded by the hills, beautiful views of the Ganges, the weather is cold but sunny (perfect winter settings)… The suite was very spacious, yet cozy.. the garden with it was large, overlooking the valley, with the Ganges and the city at a fair distance. The Staff were extremely friendly and warm.. clearly a HIGHLIGHT ..Aman standards.. Purohit and team serving at the restaurant were wonderful, with them hosting a special meal for us at the pool (accompanied by live flute). Chef Naveen customised our menu daily for our tastes, even though we were following the diet (Pita and Vatta). Divya and team at front office worked tirelessly to ensure they were on top of all our needs. The SPA therapists were exceptional, and very experienced in Ayurvedic treatments. The food was OUT OF THE WORLD.. very healthy yet tasty food… the chef was extremely nice to share the menus with us. We had a very spiritual experience first with a special prayer / havan organised for us, and then the Ganga Aarti. Overall, I will rate ANANDA as one of the best in the world, in terms of a wellness destination … from location, service levels, food, spirituality and spa experiences. Kudos to the management and the team at ANANDA… I shall be visiting again very soon.

Dear Ananda, I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for your incredible life changing experience which I will never ever forget. My full experience was above expectations, thank you to the whole team who was taking such good care of me, guiding me through every step of my journey and made sure I was comfortable with everything. Before my arrival I had some health issues and was dealing with a lot of stress and my 3 week stay helped me solve or alleviate many of my health problems for which I am extremely grateful. What really helped was learning about mindfullness and the Vedanta way of life, which really changed the way I view certain things in life, hopefully forever. Thank you for your personal approach, all your care and kindness to me the whole time. Magdalena Vildova

The experience was exemplary from the time of reservations. Everything explained in mails to any query raised, promptly. A confirmation number given even before payment! Thereafter calls are received a few days prior and on landing location is requested so as to track movement of vehicle. The room was scrupulously clean and pretty. Housekeeping services are top notch and polite. The restaurant was the surprise package, I didn’t imagine one had such a wide variety of dishes that one could choose from. The spa and the therapists were the best that one has ever experienced. The spiritual and philosophical sessions were beautifully conducted. The premises are sprawling. The bagpiper at sunset adds to the surreal feel. The trek to Kunjapuri temple was great value addition. The front desk, welcomes one with warmth and sends one off with love and affection.
