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]

"I stayed at Moshams for one night and had a great experience overall. The staff and hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The property itself is well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. The room was cozy and had everything I needed for a short stay. What really stood out was the genuine hospitality of the team – they went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend Moshams to anyone...

Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa, Uttarakhand

10/10 Excellent

Golden Healing Journeys Homestay

2/10 Terrible

"I do not recommend this property for the following reasons: Location- terrible. We couldn't find any mode of transport to the Ghats & market. There is also no sign board on the road to guide you to this place and one has to ask around people on street, guards to help if they help. Service- our food order arrived 30+ minutes late and after several follow-ups. Aircons have no remote so you need to keep furniture to stand on and then reach for the controls. Bathrooms - the washbasin taps open with a sudden of gush of water so fast it will wet you :) "

The Roseate Ganges Rishikesh

6/10 Okay

"Very nice property at the Ganges, around 200 steps down but a steep climb. Food was exceptional and service as good. Very nice breakfast and great service standards! The rooms are not designed properly, even a hair dryer doesn't have a socket in the washroom or next to any mirror. Very stringent on their rules which may rightly suit them but can be quite hard on the guests. Adjacent to road hence even at night the cars sound etc is very loud in the rooms. Very nice bar and good cocktails offered. Expensive overall. Cant directly easily spot the ganges from the rooms / property however a little walk down and voila you are inside the river! We did an aarti at the ganges with all friends and was very scenic! Some of us did a yoga session at the poolside and was quite serene. Location is away from main city rishikesh hence away from the hustle and bustle. Taj Anand Kashi just 5 - 10 mins drive away."
