![Ananda in the Himalayas is a luxury destination spa in Narendra Nagar, Uttarakhand, set in the Indian Himalayas.
Set in a 100-acre (40 ha) Himalayan mountain estate set amidst sal forests, overlooking the river Ganges, close to the towns of Rishikesh and Haridwar, it was established in 2000, and was India's first destination spa.[1] Ananda focusses on Yoga and Ayurvedic practices,[2] combined with international spa therapies.[3] The property includes the royal palace of Narendra Nagar, of the Maharaja of Tehri Garhwal (an Indian princely state),[4] and the restored Viceregal Palace which was added to the palace in 1910–11 by the Maharaja for an expected visit of the Viceroy of India. Though the visit never materialized, the edifice remains,[5] and went to accommodate the likes of Lord Mountbatten of Burma, a later Viceroy of India.[6][7][8]
Today it is considered one of the best spas in the world by the The Telegraph[9][10] and rated No. 1 destination spa in the world by Travel + Leisure magazine.[11]](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/602009/851bf6ae-27a8-493f-89ca-00c155e1cbf2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=1920&ra=fit&ch=480)
