Luxury hotels in Himalaya.

Once the residence of Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal, Ananda is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in India and ranked in the Top 10 spa hotels of the world. The calming integration of lush greenery, fresh mountain air, Himalayan spring water, the luxurious therapy rooms overlooking the holy River Ganges and the mystifying Himalayas, together with unbeatable spa facilities provides the ideal environment for rejuvenation of the body, mind and soul. It is, however, not only for those who want to spend time doing little but being pampered - it is also the perfect base from which to go walking, bird watching, star-gazing, rafting, fishing or game viewing. The 21,000 square foot spa offers an extensive menu of over 79 body and beauty treatments, integrating the traditional Indian systems of Ayurveda with the more contemporary Western spa approach. The spa experience strives to achieve the ultimate harmony between the physical and the mental realms of the individual.
