Treat Yourself to World's Number One Destination Spa

Tucked away in the Himalayas is

Ananda, the world's number one destination spa as designated by Conde Nast

in 2005, 2006 and 2007 that is dedicated to today's travelers. This

magnificent spa destination is another gem included in Picasso Travel's new

Ports of India packages.

Ports of India offers a luxuriating four night/five day package to

Ananda beginning at just $1255 per person, double occupancy, and $2365 for

single occupancy through April 15, 2008.

The package begins with a night in Delhi with a transfer by reliable

private car for a scenic drive to Ananda the following day. It also

includes accommodations for three nights in Ananda, daily breakfast and

private car transfers back to Delhi. Guests can partake in Ananda's

restorative amenities such as yoga, meditation, Vendanta (means culmination

of knowledge) sessions or the traditional healing art of Ayurveda, which is

an intrinsic part of the wellness regime for guests. There are also many

other activities for guests to enjoy, such as rafting, hiking, wildlife

safaris, golf or cultural programs. The spa menus do not overlook good

taste while providing maximum nutrition and a constant release of energy.

This exotic location, also the former residence of the Maharaja of

Tehri-Garhwal, is exactly the place to rejuvenate one's senses and

rediscover tranquility. The 21,000 square foot spa offers an extensive menu

of more than 79 body and beauty treatments.

All ground arrangements are managed by Kuoni India, which has an

impeccable reputation gained by travelers having an exceptional experience

in this destination.

The ancient Hindus were known to be highly intellectual and sensuous.

One of their main principles was there is no dividing line in human

personality between the mind and body. Beautifying the body is to beautify

the soul and the Ananda experience strives to achieve that ultimate harmony

between the physical and mind of the individual.
