Ananda Himalayas
Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Ananda is a place to go to disconnect from the world. Taking over what was formerly known as the Viceregal Palace, Ananda has long been an escape for foreign dignitaries and local heads of states who are accustomed to luxury and good service. The rooms all have a colonial feel to them, transporting guests out of the manic, gadget-obsessed world. Ananda operates on old Indian wellness traditions, such as yoga and ayurvedic wellness - however, it also features Western and other Eastern treatments. Their creative dining menu is specially tailored for each guest according to their body types and food restrictions, but all food is devoid of artificial salts, colours, or flavors, which makes for a good cleanse. If guests want a little bit more action beyond wellness, white water rafting, safaris, and treks in the nearby Himalayas can be arranged daily through the helpful team.
