Six Senses Vana
Our retreat lives and breathes all year round
Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, our weather in general can be described as temperate as we do not get North India’s infamous summer temperatures. Even the warmest days are welcoming, and evenings are comfortable. The monsoons are the lushest and the best time to be on retreat as per Indian tradition. They begin in late June and end in early September. Summers in Dehradun have a maximum temperature of ~38°C / 100°F and a minimum of ~20°C / 68°F, while winters have a maximum of ~22°C / 72°F and a minimum of ~5°C / 41°F. During the monsoons, Dehradun experiences medium to high rainfall each day. Six Senses Vana follows the six traditional ritus or seasons – Vasanta (spring), Grishma (summer), Varsha (monsoon), Sharad (autumn), Hemanta (pre-winter), and Shishira (winter). To help you plan your stay, please see the dates below. Each season brings its own unique character, energy, and grace, to which we adapt as best as we can. Our endeavor is to exist in equilibrium with the natural world around us.
