India: A Journey of Wellness and Himalayan Serenity
For those seeking something truly restorative, this carefully curated journey to India offered the opportunity to step away from the pace of everyday life and immerse themselves in one of the world's most renowned wellness retreats
Set against the tranquil backdrop of the Himalayan foothills, this exceptional 21-night escape at Ananda in the Himalayas was designed around relaxation, wellbeing and a deeper connection with mind, body and surroundings.
Arriving in India via Mumbai before continuing to Dehradun, the journey quickly left the energy of the city behind.
Nestled among graceful Sal forests and overlooking the Ganga, Ananda in the Himalayas occupies a wonderfully peaceful setting close to the spiritual cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh.
For three weeks, the resort became a sanctuary dedicated to wellbeing. Surrounded by nature and immersed in the serenity of the Himalayas, guests could embrace a slower pace of life while experiencing a holistic approach to wellness inspired by India's ancient traditions.
At the heart of the Ananda experience are the principles of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta, complemented by a range of contemporary international wellness experiences. Rather than simply offering a relaxing break, the retreat provides an opportunity to focus on wellbeing in a way that can become part of everyday life long after returning home.
With full-board accommodation and a Deluxe Garden View Room, every aspect of the stay was designed to make relaxation effortless. Days could be spent reconnecting with nature, embracing traditional wellness practices or simply enjoying the remarkable peace of the Himalayan foothills.
The location itself is an important part of the experience. From the surrounding forests and mountain scenery to the sacred River Ganga winding through the landscape below, Ananda offers a rare sense of tranquillity, while its proximity to Haridwar and Rishikesh provides a connection to some of India's most spiritually significant destinations.
After 21 nights of complete immersion in this extraordinary environment, the journey returned to Dehradun and onwards to London — refreshed, restored and with an entirely different perspective on the meaning of luxury travel.
This was not simply a holiday. It was an opportunity to slow down, reconnect and invest in wellbeing, surrounded by the timeless beauty of the Himalayas.
A truly transformative wellness escape, thoughtfully curated by Club Voyages Leicester.
