Ayurveda at Ananda
Panchakarma - (The full program takes minimum 14 days)Pancha means five, Karma means therapy. This five-fold purification therapy aims at correcting the imbalance of the body's bio energies (the Doshas: Vata, Pitta, Kapha) in order to maintain their inherent equilibrium. Like the earth these bio-energies also have their own seasons. When one of the doshas accumulates, the body becomes imbalanced and prone to illness.
Ayurveda recommends a thorough internal cleansing therapy to clear and balance the bio-energies. The clusters of five cleansing procedures or shodhanakarmas, comprise of emesis (therapeutic vomiting), laxatives, enemas, nasal cleansing and blood purification.

Spiritual Fitness
The ancient Hindus were known to be highly intellectual and sensuous people. One of their cardinal principles was that there is no dividing line in human personality between the mind and the body. The mind is body and the body is mind. Also, that if beautifying the mind is to beautify the body, the converse is equally true. Beautifying the body is to beautify the soul.
It is with this philosophy, together with the tools of Ayurvedic science, that Ananda's line of skin care products has been created.
The Ayurvedic system of medicine provides a fundamental understanding of the five basic elements of nature. These elements express themselves into three operating principles within the physiology referred to as the three Doshas -Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Individual constitution, which is acquired at birth, is expressed through Ayurveda in terms of these three doshas and Ayurvedic medicine draws upon its rich traditions of herbs and roots to effectively balance these. Each product at Ananda Line is steeped in this philosophy.

Each product at Ananda Line is steeped in this philosophy.
Ayurveda believes that the body produces certain toxins that are harmful if they are not flushed out regularly. The skin forms a large organ, which helps the body to rid itself of toxins and impurities. Ayurveda advocates three precise steps for this detoxification and cleansing process- Snehana, Swedana and Snana. Snehana extracts toxins from the body with the use of scrubs, wraps and packs. Swedana goes a step further, and here detoxification takes place through saunas and steam baths. Snana or the bath, is the last step in this holistic cleansing process. Ananda Line of skin care incorporates this philosophy and offers products for each step of cleansing.
The range of skin care includes moisturisers, exfoliating creams, hair care products and shower gels. All these products have been created with pure herbal ingredients and with the gentlest care in mind. Pure herbal distillates, essential oils, plant extracts, crushed flowers, roots and barks have been blended together to create unique formulations. Exotic fragrances of Himalayan herbs and flowers make the range uniquely Indian and an experience to remember.
The development process involved extensive research of ancient Indian manuscripts to learn more about the properties of various types of herbs, flowers and roots. Precise extraction methods were also learned in order to retain the essence of a old traditions. Thus this exotic line of products was born, exclusive and not available at any other destination spa.
Ananda - In The Himalayas has a vast commitment to the environment and has ensured that these skin care products have not been tested on animals. Also, they do not contain any alcohol or perfume. Care has been taken not to use any herbs on the Endangered Species list.
Each guest room features Ananda Line as part of the guest amenities. They are also used through the Wellness Centre and in all spa treatments.

How to Reach Ananda
Located just 260 kilometers north of New Delhi, Ananda is easily accessible by road, rail and air. A 45 minute flight to Jolly Grant airport, a 4 hour train journey from Delhi to Haridwar station and a scenic 5 hour drive from New Delhi to Ananda are the various travel options. Whatever your mode of transport, the raw, natural landscape is sure to leave you with a perfect taste of India.By Train
The Indian Railways offers an efficient and comfortable train service to and from Ananda. The Dehradun Shatabdi Express, with convenient daily services to and from New Delhi Railway station to the closest railhead at Haridwar Station, is the most convenient way to embark on your journey.
In addition, there are a number of other trains, which traverse the way to Ananda, thereby offering you a wide range of train timings. From Haridwar, the ride to Ananda takes 60 minutes, as you pass through the holy city of Rishikesh and drive along the intriguing ridges and valleys of the Himalayas.
By Surface

An extremely picturesque drive through the northern plains of India culminates in the final breathtaking ascent to Ananda, a winding mountainous route that offers unparalleled views of the valley of Rishikesh.
Excursions of Ananda
HaridwarIt is said that when Gods left their footprints on the land of Haridwar, metaphorically they also left an indelible mark on the spiritual ethos of every Hindu - more so the devout, which would later follow their holy paths all across this blessed land. Of such significance is Haridwar in the thought of India's traditional Hindus that it has earned its sobriquet of honor as The Gateway to the Gods.
Legend has it that the holy Ganga, the holiest of all rivers, which flows through this sacred city has actually been sanctified by the powerful trinity of Hindu mythology- Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh.
Down the ages, this special importance of Haridwar as the ever-refreshing mystic venue for the purification of the mind, body and soul gained more impetus and today manifests itself in two great events that take place here - the memorable Kumbh Mela which is held every 12 years and the Ardh Kumbh Mela, which is held once every 6 years.
Rishikesh
The town of Rishikesh lies in the foothills of the Garhwal region. Located 1160 feet above sea level, it is the gateway to the upper Garhwal region and the starting point to the Char Dham - four famous pilgrim centers namely Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamnotri. It is believed that meditation at this place leads to attainment of salvation.
The Ganges flows through the town and is worshipped here. Rishikesh has long been a spiritual centre. It has numerous ashrams, some of which are internationally recognized, as places for philosophical studies, yoga and meditation. An international 'Yoga Week' is organized here every year in the first week of February.
Back in the 1960's Rishikesh gained instant fame as the site, when the Beatles came to stay here with their guru, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi.
Narendra Nagar
The small hamlet town of Narendra Nagar came into existence in 1895, when Maharaja Narendra Shah decided to move his capital from Tehri to a more picturesque locale. The small town of Odathali nestled in the Shivalik foothills was chosen not only for its extraordinary scenic beauty, but also for its proximity to the plains below.
'Odathali' is a place of historic and mythological significance. It has been known to be a seat of spirituality and meditation since ancient times. According to legend, the sage Udhav is known to have performed severe penance at this spot. Also, Purasar, the founder of astrology, has been known to conduct various experiments on the movements of planets and stars. His observatory has now been converted into the local polytechnic.
Narendra Shah was an enlightened ruler, as you can see in the well ordered civic buildings of the neat little royal township of Narendra Nagar. Some of the buildings like the hospital and the secretariat are still in use today. The bazaar buildings too are a century old.
Garhwal
A venture into the Himalayas is more than a mere journey: it is a "yatra". A pilgrimage does not hold more importance than it does in Garhwal and Kumaon, once known as "Uttarakhand" - the 'northern territories' - in the pre Vedic era. This is the domain of the ascetic Lord Shiva, the destroyer and re-creator; it is land charged with "Shakti", the power and energy of the goddess Parvati, consort of Shiva and the daughter of Himavat, Lord of the Mountains. Together, Garhwal and Kumaon form a sizable wedge in the Central Himalayas, joining India and Nepal.
Garhwal today remains a land of myth and legend, where every stone tells a story. The earliest historical references to the region are found in the Vedas, paeans to the purity of the Himalayas. Specific mention of the mountains exists in the Mahabharata, dated around 1000 BC. This is when the protagonists of the epic, the Pandavas, are said to have ended their life on earth by ascending the slopes of peak in western Garhwal called Swargarohini - literally, the Ascent to Heaven'. The epic also mentions this region being the home of the Kirata, Puolinda and Tangara tribes.
