Tashi Ananda Wellness Retreat Partners with Himachal Pradesh Tourism to Offer Transformational Healing in Barog
In a notable move to elevate wellness tourism in the state, the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) has partnered with Tashi Ananda, an emerging wellness retreat rooted in the serene pine forests of Barog. Designed as a sanctuary for nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and inner transformation, Tashi Ananda brings together ancient yogic practices and modern integrative science to offer a unique, immersive experience.
Barog, a quiet hamlet nestled in the Shivalik foothills, provides the perfect backdrop for this holistic retreat. With mist-covered mornings, the melodic whistle of the Kalka-Shimla toy train, and air thick with the scent of pine, the setting naturally invites introspection and renewal.
The retreat is hosted at the picturesque Hotel Pinewood, a HPTDC property that blends comfort with the timeless charm of the hills. The name Tashi Ananda—a confluence of the Tibetan word Tashi (auspiciousness) and the Sanskrit Ananda (bliss)—reflects the essence of the program: a convergence of spiritual wisdom, scientific rigor, and nature’s healing rhythm.
Curated by physician-scientists from WellnessTaru, the retreat is offered in two structured formats: a 2-night, 3-day foundational reset, and a 3-night, 4-day deep-dive experience. Both versions follow a thematic progression focused on Grounding & Intention, Integration & Expression, and Carrying the Calm, ensuring that guests leave with more than just relaxation—they gain tools for sustained inner alignment.
Program Highlights Include:
- Functional Yoga & Kriyas to promote emotional grounding and physical strength
- Breathwork and Swara Yoga to enhance mental clarity and energetic balance
- Yoga Nidra and vagus nerve-focused practices for deep nervous system restoration
- Masterclasses on lifestyle medicine addressing stress, anxiety, and chronic health patterns
- Therapeutic art sessions to facilitate emotional release and insight
- Guided nature rituals, including grape meditation and flower ceremonies, to foster a deep connection with the environment
The collaboration between Tashi Ananda and Himachal Pradesh Tourism marks a significant step in positioning the region as a premier destination for conscious and sustainable travel. As wellness continues to gain global importance, this initiative not only highlights the natural beauty of Barog but also introduces a new benchmark in mind-body healing experiences in India.
Getting There - Getting to Barog is part of the charm. Whether you drive through scenic roads from Chandigarh, take the iconic Kalka–Shimla toy train, or fly into Chandigarh Airport, the journey preps your mind to slow down even before you arrive.
