Set inside the former palace estate of the Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal, Ananda is one of India's original destination wellness retreats — built around a 24,000 sq ft spa and structured Ayurveda, yoga, and wellness programmes rather than à la carte stays.
The estate sits above Rishikesh in the Himalayan foothills, with views down into the Ganges valley. Most guests arrive for multi-night wellness programmes — detox, stress management, Ayurvedic rejuvenation — though shorter stays focused on the spa and forest trails are equally common.
Signature experiences
- Personalised Ayurveda and wellness consultations
- Sunrise yoga overlooking the Ganges valley
- Guided forest trails through the Himalayan foothills
- Evening meditation in the palace gardens

FAQ
Flying to Ananda in the Himalayas — questions answered
How do I arrange a private flight to Ananda in the Himalayas?
WhatsApp FlightKlub with your travel dates and passenger count. We arrange a private jet or turboprop to Dehradun (DED) and coordinate the roughly 1-hour road transfer to the estate. We don't book the wellness programme or hotel stay itself — that's arranged directly with the property or your travel advisor.
What's the flight time from Delhi or Mumbai to Dehradun?
A turboprop or light jet from Delhi to Dehradun takes around 45 minutes. From Mumbai, roughly 2 hours. Both are considerably faster than the 5–6 hour road drive from Delhi that many visitors to Rishikesh make by car.
Should I arrive a day before my wellness programme starts?
Most guests fly in the same morning their programme begins, since Dehradun is close enough that a private flight plus the 1-hour drive comfortably fits a morning arrival. Guests on longer programmes sometimes prefer an evening-before arrival to settle in.
