The approach at Ananda in the Himalayas

Ananda in the Himalayas adopts a holistic wellness philosophy that integrates traditional Indian practices with modern health concepts. The resort offers personalized programs encompassing Ayurveda, yoga, and Vedanta, tailored to individual health goals.

Upon arrival, guests undergo a comprehensive consultation to determine their dosha (body constitution) and specific wellness objectives. Based on this assessment, a customized itinerary is created, including Ayurvedic therapies, yoga sessions, meditation practices, and lifestyle counseling.

The Ayurvedic treatments utilize natural herbs and oils to detoxify and rejuvenate the body, while yoga and meditation sessions aim to enhance mental clarity and spiritual growth. The integration of Vedanta teachings provides guests with philosophical insights to achieve lasting inner peace.

This comprehensive approach ensures a transformative experience that addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being.

The nutrition at Ananda in the Himalayas

Ananda's nutrition philosophy is rooted in Ayurvedic principles, emphasizing the consumption of fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients.

The resort offers personalized meal plans designed to balance the doshas and support the body's natural healing processes. These plans are crafted following a consultation with the in-house Ayurvedic doctor, who assesses the guest's constitution and health goals. The cuisine focuses on whole foods, including grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables, prepared in a manner that preserves their nutritional value.

While there is no strict calorie restriction, portion sizes and meal timings are tailored to optimize digestion and energy levels. This individualized approach ensures that nutrition complements the overall wellness journey, promoting harmony between the body and mind.
