Ecko Dev Bhoomi Expansion

Uttarakhand

ECKO Hotels Targets 12 Properties in Dev Bhoomi Within Two Years

ECKO Hotels & Resorts, under the leadership of founder and CEO Perkin Rocha, has embarked on an ambitious expansion in Uttarakhand, aiming to establish 12 boutique hotels within the next two years. This initiative commenced with the simultaneous launch of three properties on May 1, 2025, in Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Tapovan.

The flagship property, Ecko Antarman Ganges in Haridwar, is a luxury boutique hotel featuring 25 rooms, a private ghat, and a rooftop restaurant offering panoramic views of the Ganges. This venue transforms from a morning café to a specialty Chettinad restaurant for lunch and dinner, emphasizing the brand’s focus on distinctive culinary experiences.

The Rishikesh property caters to leisure travelers, social functions, and corporate clients, while the Tapovan hotel is designed for young, adventure-seeking guests. ECKO’s expansion plans include properties in Dehradun, Mussoorie, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Jim Corbett, Deogarh, Vrindavan, and Ranikhet, with the Jim Corbett hotel set to open by October 2025.

This growth aligns with the broader trend of branded hotels expanding in spiritual destinations, driven by increasing demand for quality accommodations in such areas. ECKO’s strategy reflects this shift, aiming to blend luxury hospitality with the spiritual essence of Dev Bhoomi.
