Dear Readers,

Namaskar and welcome to the Monsoon Issue of our newsletter.

At the outset, I would like to thank you for your continuing support which has helped Ananda reach yet another milestone - Ananda in the Himalayas was voted No. 2 in the Best Destination Spas in the World by the CondéNast Traveller Reader's Travel Awards 2010. With this award, Ananda carries the unique distinction of being the only destination spa to be voted within the World's Top 3 Destination spas for 6 years consecutively from 2005 to 2010 by Conde Nast Traveller Reader's Travel Award, considered the leading award in the industry.

Monsoon time brings with it a new mantra for health and well–being from Ananda in the Himalayas. September sees the return of Visiting Masters Roma Singh and Preeti Sethi, with their extremely sought after Healing and Meditation sessions.

Ananda is truly magical at this time of the year. The clouds play hide and seek through the trees, cool and misty evenings create a surreal atmosphere. Nature is at its best and enhances everything we have to offer – so enjoy the monsoon with us at Ananda this year.

I wish you the very best.

Ashok Khanna
Managing Director
