  ANANDA SPA, ANANDA IN THE HIMALAYAS
The enchanting retreat of Ananda Spa is nestled among the Himalayas and just a quick drive from the mythological city of Rishikesh (the birthplace of yoga, made famous by the Beatles’ many meditation trips here).  Traditional Indian wellness treatments of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta will guide you to reach a transcendental state through the union of mind, body and soul. Takradhara is a soothing, buttermilk cure for insomnia; perfect for deep rest on Ananda’s shaded daybeds along the winding Ganges.
