Ananda in the Himalayas
India's first destination spa, Ananda is a superb hotel, clinging to a ridge in the Himalayan foothills. Undoubtedly one of the best hotels in India and ranked in the Top 10 spa hotels of the world, this wonderful resort offers unbeatable spa facilities, peaceful solitude and a chance to get back to nature, whilst surrounded by luxury. It is, however, not only for those who want to spend time doing very little and being pampered - it is also the perfect base from which to go walking, bird-watching, rafting or fishing. The 'treehouse' restaurant has sublime views of the valley below, whilst the swimming pool is the place to top up your tan.
