What this actually is
Ananda describes its Ayurvedic Rejuvenation and Immunity Booster as a programme of Ayurvedic treatments, a nourishing diet, rasayana (restorative) preparations and yoga, aimed at better immunity, energy, metabolism and skin. It sells it at 7, 14 or 21 nights, with other lengths allowed, in its Comprehensive and Intensive categories.
The brochure describes each length in turn. At 7 nights it works on digestive fire and circulation, with Purvakarma preparatory measures. The 14-night Sodhanam adds three to four days of intensive cleansing, then a prescribed aftercare diet. The 21-night Rasayanam moves on to rasayana therapy after two weeks of cleansing, with medicated enemas on five to six days.
The property says the listed inclusions can change: the lead consultant may alter them, or recommend further therapies, after assessing the guest on site.
Is this your kind of stay?
Use both columns as travel-planning guidance. Final medical suitability must be discussed with your own doctor and the qualified team at the property.
The shape of it
The structure of the programme as the property describes it — a shape, not a timetable.
7 nights
The property calls the 7-night option an introduction to detoxification. It works on digestive fire and circulation, and includes Purvakarma, preparatory measures the property says ready the body for major cleansing therapies.
14 nights, with 3 to 4 days of cleansing
The property describes intensive cleansing procedures over three to four days, aimed at eliminating toxins and balancing the doshas. Paschatkarma aftercare follows: a balanced diet and Ayurvedic daily routine matched to body type, which the property says hold the results and support metabolism.
21 nights
The property says that after two weeks of cleansing the body is more receptive to rasayana, a medicinal programme aimed at longevity and physical and mental capability. It says this length includes major cleansing treatments, such as medicated enemas, on five to six days.
A day, hour by hour
The property publishes one typical day for all guests: activities starting 7am to 10am and 4pm to 6pm, and spa treatments at 11am.
Where you stay
A wellness retreat on the 100-acre former palace estate of the Maharaja of Tehri-Garhwal, overlooking Rishikesh and the Ganga valley. Its press kit says it opened in 2000 as India’s first luxury wellness retreat.
The property says it is a wellness destination, not a clinic, and that its therapies offer no immediate cures. Leaving early is charged 100% of the booked value with no refund. Children under 14 are not admitted, and some spa treatments are restricted for 14–18-year-olds. Several programmes start at 14 nights, and Panchakarma runs 21.
The full profile →Who looks after you
Clinical and practitioner teams are described by role and qualification rather than by individual name, because staffing changes. The property will confirm the current team and explain how practitioners are assigned before or on arrival.
Counted, so you can compare
Counted inclusions make it easier to compare the rhythm and value of different programmes alongside their prices.
