India is the origin point of Ayurveda and yoga — the two most influential wellness systems in the world — and its retreats offer access to these traditions with a depth and authenticity that hotel-spa iterations elsewhere cannot replicate. Ananda in the Himalayas delivers classical Ayurvedic medicine and yoga from a maharaja's estate above Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga itself. Six Senses Vana in the Doon Valley draws on Ayurveda, Tibetan healing traditions, and holistic wellness through a team of resident practitioners working within twenty-one acres of ancient sal forest. For anyone serious about these traditions, there is no substitute for the source.
