About Board Room II
The Space
Board Room II is an intimate, purpose-built meeting room at Ananda in the Himalayas, the celebrated destination spa resort set within the historic Viceregal Palace estate in Narendra Nagar, Uttarakhand. The room is designed for focused, high-quality professional gatherings — think small executive meetings, leadership conclaves, strategy sessions, and confidential briefings — where the quality of conversation matters as much as the setting. The aesthetic carries the understated elegance that defines the wider Ananda property: warm finishes, considered lighting, and an atmosphere that encourages clarity of thought rather than distraction.
Unlike the grand ballrooms or multi-purpose halls that dominate most conference properties, Board Room II is deliberately scaled for smaller groups. This makes it exceptionally well suited for senior-level executive meetings, one-on-one negotiations, or breakout sessions running alongside a larger corporate retreat hosted elsewhere on the estate. The room is equipped with standard business presentation and audio-visual infrastructure, and the resort's events team is available to assist with bespoke setup requirements.
Events & Occasions
Board Room II is best suited to corporate event formats that benefit from a private, distraction-free environment. Executive committee meetings, board sessions, investor presentations, and exclusive leadership workshops all find a natural home here. Because Board Room II sits within a world-renowned wellness and spa destination, it is particularly well positioned for organisations planning corporate wellness retreats — where structured business sessions in the morning can give way to spa treatments, yoga, and meditation programmes that Ananda is globally recognised for. This combination of professional focus by day and restorative wellness by evening is a distinct advantage that few conference venues in India can match.
The resort's culinary team can provide in-room refreshments, working lunches, and full meal arrangements at the on-site restaurants and dining spaces, ensuring delegates do not need to leave the estate to be well looked after throughout a multi-day programme.
Location & Accessibility
Ananda in the Himalayas occupies a commanding position above the Ganges valley, near the sacred town of Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. Narendra Nagar itself sits at an elevation that affords sweeping views of the Himalayan foothills and the river plains below — a setting that lends even a routine board meeting an unusual sense of remove from everyday pressures. The nearest commercial airport is Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun, approximately 35 kilometres from the resort. Haridwar railway station is the nearest major railhead and is accessible within roughly 25 to 30 kilometres. The resort is reachable from Delhi by road in approximately five to six hours via National Highway 58, making it a practical destination for executives travelling from the capital. The property also assists guests with transfer arrangements on request.
