Last month I got to stay at EKAANTA, a Boutique wellness retreat in Haridwar. Located in the hub of Haridwar, on the busy Niranjani Akhara Marg, Ekaanta’s carved wooden doors open into a spacious and tranquil lobby, in sharp contrast to the bustling street we stepped in from. The uncluttered open layout of the lobby, light and airy color palette, curved walls with artwork depicting the story of Ganga, the view of the river through the glass wall at the other end, contemporary furniture with clean lines, the venue exudes a young urban vibe.
