Heavenly Spa Experience

The massages at Ananda are truly really good. I experienced the welcome massage, called pizchill, where warm oil continuously dripped onto me while two skilled masseuses worked their magic. This was hands down the best treatment I have ever had. Every session left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed, making it an essential part of my stay.

Fitness and Wellness

During my stay, I actively participated in the Active-Fitness package. The gym facilities were superb, complete with modern equipment. I was guided by an very nice trainer, Abhishek, who conducted a Body Composition Analysis for me and taught me vital stretching techniques. His personalized approach helped alleviate my previous foot pain, making my fitness journey enjoyable and pain-free.

Luxurious Accommodations

The rooms at Ananda are incredibly spacious and comfortable. I adored the valley views that greeted me each morning. The daily provision of traditional kurta pyjamas added a cultural touch to my stay. The attention to detail in the room's setup made it feel like a luxurious home away from home.
