This seven-night spa holiday starts in India’s energetic capital Delhi, with a stop at Shangri La Hotel and a chance to explore the city’s old and new districts. You will then head northwards into the state of Uttarkhand to arrive at Ananda in the Himalayas. The property is located on the site of a former Maharaja’s Palace, on the banks of a peaceful lake and surrounded by densely wooded hills. It has been voted the Worlds Number One Spa for two years running in the Conde Nast Traveller Readers’ Awards. It combines luxury accommodation with truly impressive spa facilities, and a personalized programme that blends traditional Indian and eastern treatments with more modern therapies.
There are plenty of opportunities to explore the fascinating surrounding area, with the Hindu holy cities of Rishikesh and Haridwar, which the River Ganges flows through, just a short distance away. Rajaji and Corbett National Parks are also within striking distance, home to Asian elephants, the Bengal tiger, leopards, jungle cats and the Himalayan black bear.
