A wellness-led journey that moves from Delhi's imperial layers into the Ganges valley, before slowing fully into a structured retreat at Ananda in the Himalayas. From there, the route shifts into Rajasthan's palace heritage at Rambagh, then closes with Mumbai's coastal energy. Ananda is the centrepiece: set above the Ganges valley near Rishikesh, it is one of India's most celebrated wellness retreats, known for integrated programmes combining consultations, therapies, and daily movement practices. The pacing is designed so that the wellness days are genuinely restorative rather than another thing to do. Your senior Farbound trip lead adjusts everything in real time and stays invisible during the Ananda chapter so the retreat flow is uninterrupted. All meals are included from arrival. Domestic flights are included. July to April is the most comfortable operating window.
