"Ananda in the Himalayas, set within a palace estate in the foothills of the Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, offers holistic healing programs focused on everything from stress and sleep issues to chronic pain. In March 2024, the spa launched a new Fertility Enhancement program based on Vajikarana, the branch of Ayurveda related to reproductive health, while incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga, and psychology. Individuals and couples looking for fertility support, including those preparing for egg freezing or IVF, can book retreats with a standard length of 14 nights. For guests with diagnosed medical issues that inhibit conception, the duration would be a minimum of 21 nights."
"One of the top Ayurvedic retreats in India, known for its comprehensive wellness programs that incorporate Ayurvedic principles."
"It is a sunny winter morning, and I can see snowcapped peaks in the distance. The fragrance of pine fills the air. Birds chatter in the trees above. All is peaceful. And yet I feel as though I have just climbed a mountain—and I don't mean my recent four-mile uphill hike to the temple of Kunjapuri. I am on day seven of a weeklong stay at Ananda in the Himalayas, the lauded palatial destination spa near the spiritual hub of Rishikesh in northern India. I've come to work my way through a glut of issues, including work stress, niggling joint pain, anxiety, loss of libido, constant fatigue, and sleep disruption. The uncertainty that followed the COVID-19 pandemic had worsened all of them."
