Vana Retreat
Sowa Rigpa + Ayurveda + TCM · 6-night packages from $4,500
Vana is a quietly intellectual wellness retreat in the Dehradun foothills. The 21 rooms, the integration of Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medicine) alongside Ayurveda, and the unusually thoughtful programming make it different from the rest of the Indian luxury wellness category.
"Vana takes wellness seriously in a way that doesn't take itself seriously. That's hard to do."

Why we curated this centre
The audit, in one paragraph.
Vana is the choice for the traveller who wants depth without the Kalari Kovilakom-level austerity. The Sowa Rigpa integration brings a distinct character. Pair with Ananda for a Himalayan-cluster two-stop itinerary.
