Veda5 Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat

I have just spent 8 days at the Veda 5 yoga and meditation resort and I highly recommended it. It is a magical place with a full daily program of yoga, meditation, cooking classes, and of course the opportunity to indulge in naturopathy and Ayurvedic treatments…. All the staff are highly professional and very personable. I would like to mention specifically Dr Anjali Srivastava and the Naturopathy team, Chef Devendra Negi for the delicious and healthy food and cooking classes, the team in the dinning room, the driver and last but not least Yogi Gajendra Negi for his excellent one on one session in yoga which certainly helped me immensely in gaining confidence and flexibility!! I was a wonderful experience . I hope to return on day soon.

The location of Veda 5 is beautiful. The rooms are all surrounded by breath-taking views of the mountains. The staff are all so welcoming and so very helpful. A shout out to Rahul & his Team in the restaurant who went out of their way to serve the delicious banquet of food made by the amazingly talented chefs. Another shout out to Naveen & the staff at the Ayurvedic treatment centre. Manju, was the therapist who looked after me & she was extremely professional. The yoga teachers, reception staff, cleaning staff, gardeners & maintenance staff were all friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend Veda 5 to anyone looking for a spiritual retreat to unwind and rejuvenate. Thank you Veda5 from Bhavna.

This was our first visit to India, without any special expectation... But! It was GREAT! Veda5 is a very clean Retreat in every aspect: room, kitchen, restaurant, yoga hall, treatment rooms, garden...everything. Our room was beautifully cozy with nice terrasse. Veda5 is situated on the hillside with beautifully designed garden, pool (was not working during our stay), outside gym, etc. The view from Veda5 is wonderful, too. The food was excellent, and the main Chef Devendra Negi is a great guy - always ready to meet your special wishes (as long as it does not include Lamb chops 😊). We found it very important because in Veda5 comes people from all around the World with different cultures and taste. Not all Indian tastes are common worldwide 😊. But all meals made by The Chef are super healthy and he led cooking classes to teach you. Generally, all Veda5 staff are outstanding individuals and professionals. All our requests and needs were fulfilled in the best manner by charming Mr Abhvdav Sindgh and beautiful Lady Itara (pronounced Arti – like Hindu ceremony). All staff are supervised and led by Mr Rahul Patil (The Captain – The Legend). Regarding the treatment, therapists Mrs Neeraj, Mr Luvprasad and Mr Rishabh are top professionals, and they made us younger at least 10 years 😊. They are extended arms for Dr Ravi Joshi, the main doctor in Veda5. Dr Joshi radiates with confidence and the knowledge to solve almost any health problem. Yoga and meditation were real revelation for me. Mrs. Ira and Yogi Gajendra Negi are on another level. Thanks to them yoga and meditation will be an important part of my future life. The way Mrs. Ira performs OM sound - I will remember for the rest of my life... it is not possible to describe... you have to hear it... Our driver and tour guide Mr Dinesh Negi showed us Rishikesh in the most interesting way. We were on the trip to Kunjapuri Temple to wait for sunrise, too. Wow, what an experience! Mr Dinesh is very patient and attentive, and he helped us to understand hundreds of scenes ***** the way… very, very informative and useful. Thank you very much Veda5, thank you very much all wonderful people I mentioned here (sorry if we misspell some name 😉)! It will be our great pleasure to meet you again. Milenko and Jelena from Serbia
