Really good Dining Experience

I was thoroughly impressed with the dining options at Ananda. The restaurant offered a fabulous array of both international and wellness menu items. Every dish, from freshly made jams to scrumptious desserts, was meticulously prepared with high-quality ingredients, making meal times a true delight. The servers, especially Purohit and Puran, provided really good service that made each meal feel special.

My room at Ananda was spacious and elegantly furnished, offering amazing views of the lush valley below. It was equipped with all the comforts one could desire, including a well-stocked minibar and a cozy sitting area.
