I’ve been meaning to write this review for months and am finally getting around to it. I spent 12 days at Veda5 in Rishikesh in October 2025, and it was an exceptional experience. The serenity, the staff, and the food made for an unforgettable retreat.Initially, I was assigned an older room on a lower floor, but the staff was kind enough to move me to a newer room on a higher floor. The mountain views from the balcony were spectacular, offering the perfect space to enjoy the peace and tranquility. I’d rate the room a 4 out of 5, only because the bathroom could use a bit of an update.The daily Ayurvedic treatments were deeply therapeutic, not just relaxing. My assigned masseur, Vivek, was highly skilled, humble, and kind. Thank you, Vivek. 🙏The food was outstanding throughout my stay, thanks to Chef Negi. The entire restaurant staff was attentive and welcoming, particularly Shubham, who led the team wonderfully during my visit.As a beginner, the yoga program was excellent. While I can't recall the name of the morning instructor, his classes were challenging but highly effective—though my one critique is that the practice room was consistently baking and could have used less heat. Still, he built a great foundation, and I continue to practice my sun salutations today.I also attended afternoon and evening yoga and meditation with Anjana. She was fantastic; her guidance and beautiful mantra chanting made meditation truly click for me.On the medical side, the Ayurvedic doctors were attentive and supportive. I particularly appreciated the care and guidance provided by Dr. Ranjith. Additionally, the daily 6:00 PM puja was a beautiful ritual that I looked forward to every evening.Overall, it was a fantastic, restorative experience, and I look forward to returning.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Veda5 Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat on Neelkanth Road booked via HANU HOLIDAYS, and I can say without exaggeration.. this experience went far beyond hospitality; it felt deeply personal and almost spiritual.I was traveling with my entire family.. parents, extended family, my wife, siblings, and our kids.. and choosing the right place was critical. After researching multiple options, I finalized Veda5 based on its reviews and visual appeal. What we experienced there exceeded every expectation.First Impression & ArrivalThe moment we reached, the experience began seamlessly. Chauffeurs were already waiting to escort us up the steep mountain road.. a thoughtful touch that immediately signaled professionalism. Upon arrival, the welcome was warm, respectful, and genuinely heartfelt.Hospitality & StaffWhat stood out consistently was the staff's demeanor.. exceptionally polite, attentive, and proactive. This wasn’t forced hospitality; it felt natural.One small but powerful moment: I requested milk at midnight for my 2-year-old. Despite the kitchen closing at 9 PM, it was delivered without hesitation. Not just once.. we requested milk multiple times during our stay, and they never charged for it. In a time where most places prioritize billing over experience, this level of care was rare. Their housekeeping standards are outstanding.. everything is spotless at all times.Rooms & Stay ExperienceThe rooms were another highlight. We were given deluxe triple-sharing units that were essentially duplex-style (2+1 configuration downstairs) with separate washrooms. Spacious, thoughtfully designed, and comfortable.. perfect for families. It was one of those rare moments where reality exceeded the pictures.Food - The Soul of the ExperienceThe food deserves special recognition. It wasn’t just good.. it was healing.The variety of sattvic meals, digestive drinks, fresh fruits, live counters for chapatis and pancakes.. all prepared with care. The head chef personally checked on guests, ensuring everything was perfect. You could feel intention in the food.. it nourished, not just filled. Chef and his staff are amazing. They gave us a lifetime experience..Amenities & EnvironmentEvery part of the property is designed for calmness.. pool with breathtaking views, meditation zones, game room, walking areas, parks, and quiet sitting spaces. Even small details like towels being pre-arranged at the pool or drinks being served proactively showed how well-trained and thoughtful the team is.The environment.. combined with soft music, natural aroma, and the Himalayan backdrop.. creates a sense of peace that’s hard to describe.Final ReflectionWhat truly made this experience unforgettable was seeing my parents happy.. genuinely happy, at peace, and content. That is something no luxury rating can measure.This wasn’t just a stay. It felt like a blessing.If you are looking for a place that delivers not just comfort but care, not just luxury but intention.. Veda5 Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat is exceptional.Thanku Hanu Holidays (Mrs. Diksha) for suggesting a great resort and making our family trip memorable..

Five nights here was truly a restorative experience. The Ayurvedic doctor was knowledgeable and exuded a positive energy that was healing just being in proximity to him. The treatments were administered by knowledgeable and genuine caregivers. The chef provided excellent vegetarian fare at every meal. Every staff member at Veda5 provided excellent service with a smile. I left feeling rejuvenated in body, mind, and spirit... a treasured experience I will never forget. Highly recommend.

We had some of the best days of our lives at Veda5. Every meal was OUTSTANDING. Any given meal we had during our stay was one of the best we had in India. As a lifelong meat eater, I was worried about eating vegetarian only. I was proven wrong with every bite I took. And I felt great and energized the entire time. Everyone of the staff is so kind. Shoutout to Vivek, Dr. Sakshi, and of course Chef Devendra and the whole kitchen team. Daily Ayurvedic treatments + food + clean room and beautiful location all included. The value for $$ here cannot be beat.

J’ai passé une semaine exceptionnelle au centre Veda 5 à Rishikesh dans le cadre d’un panchakarma, . La prise en charge a été remarquable du début à la fin, dans un lieu tout simplement magnifique : un décor montagneux, en pleine nature, propice au calme et à la déconnexion.Chaque jour, j’ai bénéficié d’un massage, de séances de yoga ainsi que de consultations personnalisées avec un médecin ayurvédique, toujours à l’écoute et très professionnel. L’ensemble du personnel était aux petits soins, attentionné et chaleureux, ce qui a rendu le séjour encore plus agréable.Mention spéciale pour la qualité de la nourriture : savoureuse et parfaitement adaptée au programme ayurvédique.Une adresse que je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui souhaitent vivre une véritable parenthèse de bien-être.

Estive durante uma semana em retiro no veda 5, foi excepcional, adorei a experiência. Tem uma vista magnífica sob a montanha, respira se bem ar puro .A comida é bastante variada e boa e os tratamentos diários são maravilhosos. Além disso as pessoas que lá trabalham são super simpáticas e atenciosas. Uma experiência a repetir sem dúvida.

Absolutely incredible aryuvedic retreat experience. You can truly switch off and focus solely on wellness. All aspects of your stay are thought out for you, from comfortable 5 star rooms, 3 delicious, healthy, sattvic meals, meditation and yoga sessions, other activities like cooking classes and mantra chanting sessions, to daily massages and wellness treatments. The onsite aryuvedic doctor will meet with you on your first day to create a personalised treatment plan targeting whatever ailments you choose to share with him/her, and at the end, prescribe you different herbal medications to help after check out. I found my doctor, Dr Rennjith, to be extremely professional, kind and knowledgeable, focusing his advice on supportive words about mental health struggles and how live with less stress. He answered my many questions about what foods to eat to support balancing my doshas. My treatment plan was created to help with stress, acne, and hyper sensitivity. I feel I am walking out a new person, truly rejuvenated and excited to put what I have learnt to practise back home in Australia. The chef Devendra was also a stand out feature of the retreat, often coming around to each table to ask how the food was, answer any questions we have, and share his knowledge on the dishes. We are looking forward to cooking some of the delicious recipes he has kindly shared with us.Overall, I could not recommend this retreat enough. It has left a lasting impact on both me and my friend, both physically and mentally. We feel so connected to our spirituality and hope to one day return, though to one of their other locations as we continue to explore india.
