Veda5 Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat

We had a life transforming experience at veda5. From the food, to the hospitality, from the therapies to cooking sessions, everything was exceptional. We particularly loved the yoga and meditation sessions there. Sarita, my therapist, Ritika, the yoga instructor and the head chef Devendar went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and at home. The whole vibe of the place was really positive. We left a part of our heart there and will surely be revisting. Doctors there seemed to understand and diagnosed our health issues properly. We stayed there for a week but learnt so much and are continuing the saatvik way of living, cooking and even following up with the doctors. Location excellent Food excellent Yoga excellent Mediation above excellent Therapies excellent Crowd excellent Warmth and hospitality above excellent Things that can be improved- Cleanliness in washrooms Towel quality in therapy rooms

Absolutely fabulous experience at Veda5. I am fairly new to meditation and yoga, and wanted a supportive place to lean into both. Veda5 delivered. The experience from start to finish is par excellence. I was greeting promptly at the airport by their staff and shuttled to the facility (about an hour’s drive from Dehra Dun). The property is stunning, the food is excellent and plentiful, and if you come with an open mind and spirit - you will learn much about meditative techniques, yoga, Ayurveda, panchakarma, Indian culture and cuisine - you name it. The best part are the daily trea**ents at their on-site spa. Rishabh is one of the best massage therapists I’ve had anywhere (and I’ve had massage on six continents now). Each day was a little different from the last, incorporating various Ayurveda techniques, herbs, oils, and methods. All of the staff really go out of their way to make you feel at home. Dinesh showed me around Rishikesh on my sightseeing afternoon and made sure I was front and center for the Ganga Aarti ceremony on the riverbank. The meditation and yoga teachers were supportive and kind. The kitchen staff were attentive and made sure we all were satiated. My only regret is that I didn’t book a longer stay; but I will be back - soon!

I don't usually write reviews but this is worthy of an exception. I was lucky enough to stay at Veda5 in Rishikesh recently for 9 nights (I extended my stay by 3 nights). The whole experience was a delight, the location is peaceful and the facilities are awesome (lovely rooms and views) including a pool. The staff were faultless, all of them! Despite travelling ***** I had great company meeting the other like minded guests who travelled from around the world. This retreat is also great value for money with an uncomplicated all inclusive model. Whilst I'm not someone that usually does Yoga and I decided to embrace the experience and was very pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. The Yoga instructor, Master Negi (Yogi Gajendra Singh Negi), provided the perfect balance of making the Yoga accessible to all whilst providing a challenge. I signed up for some private Yoga lessons and was able to make huge progress in a matter of days - this was entirely down to Master Negi's instruction and support. The Ayervedic services were second to none. The doctor was insightful with endearing sense of humour and the trea**ents were excellent. My practitioner (Panchkarma Technician) was called Sarita Bhargava and she was a true professional whilst showing deep care. Finally, the food, I was slightly apprehensive about what this might be but was very pleasantly surprised by how delicious it all was - the food was always fresh and there was lots of choice for all three meals. Thank you to the Chef and his team, including Devendra S. Negi (Sous Chef) and all the waiting staff who couldn't do enough for you - the date [protein] balls will not be forgotten quickly! I am looking to plan a trip next year to one of their other retreats, either in Kerela or Goa. Fully recommend.

Everything at Veda 5 Rishikesh was of a high standard . The staff were all very friendly and helpful , there are ***y activities to choose from and the food is excellent . The yoga master Nigi had so much patience and taught me a lot . I would love to return one day

Great stay and great vibes. Location is beautiful and the staff is amazing. In only 6 days I was as good as new!! Very relaxed and helpful people in a perfect place. I’m going back for double the time at the first opportunity. Food is vegetarian only, freshly prepared and very satisfying and I’m not a vegetarian. Multiple classes of yoga, relaxation and meditation ***** with multiple trea**ent packages make the stay just amazing. Thank you guys🙏🏻

Great experience at Veda5. The hospitality was par excellence. The staff was warm, courteous and caring. The chief chef, Mr. Devender with his excellent culinary skills provided us with the best saatvic bhojan experience. Special thanks to Mr. Negi and Ashok ji for taking care with smiling faces.

Serene, peaceful place. Excellent services for everything.. room services, dining, ayurvedic trea**ent, naturopath trea**ent, yoga, and meditation. Very friendly and helpful staff. Sattvic and delicious food. Clean and beautiful room.

Veda5, nestled in the serene embrace of the Himalayas, is a sanctuary for holistic rejuvenation. Surrounded by nature's grandeur, it offers tranquility that soothes the soul. With tastefully adorned rooms boasting Himalayan vistas and private balconies, it's a haven for introspection. The absence of TVs enhances the retreat's serene ambiance, allowing guests to connect with nature and themselves. From the Ayurveda center to yoga pavilions and meditation caves, every facet fosters wellness. The pure vegetarian dining adds to the holistic experience. Veda5 isn't just a retreat; it's an odyssey to inner peace amidst nature's embrace.

My stay was wonderful. The staff was great. The food was great. The yoga classes and other activities were great. The massages and doctors were great. A truly wonderful and peaceful time. Thank you for everything. Will definately try to come here again. The place is secluded but its part of its charm. Thank you again.
