The Client

An escape into
nature's lap

Ekant is a one-of-a-kind farmstay in Uttarakhand that combines rustic charm with modern luxury. Set amidst sprawling mango orchards, the property features handcrafted mud-and-thatch huts, open-air dining, and whimsical mushroom-shaped garden lamps that create a fairytale atmosphere at dusk.

The brand caters to urban travellers seeking a peaceful, nature-immersive experience — perfect for couples, families, and digital nomads looking to reconnect with the outdoors.

The Challenge

A hidden gem that
nobody could find online

Zero Online Visibility

Most bookings came from word-of-mouth and local travel agents. No organic discoverability.

No Website or Booking Engine

No dedicated platform for potential guests; relied entirely on OTA platforms eating into margins.

Inconsistent Social Presence

Random, unplanned posts with no photography direction. The beauty of the property wasn't being showcased.

OTA Commission Drain

Heavy reliance on MakeMyTrip and Booking.com with 15-25% commissions eating into already thin margins.

Our Approach

What we delivered

01

Website Design & Development

Built a visually stunning, mobile-first website showcasing the property's unique charm. Integrated a direct booking engine with WhatsApp enquiry, reducing dependency on OTA commissions. The site features immersive photo galleries, virtual tours, and guest testimonials.

02

Social Media Marketing

Created a reel-first Instagram strategy with professional photography — garden lights, huts, food, sunsets. Ran targeted Meta ad campaigns to urban audiences in Delhi, Chandigarh, and Lucknow. Monthly content calendar with 20+ posts including reels, carousels, and stories.

03

Local SEO & Google Business

Optimised Google Business Profile with professional images, Q&A management, and review solicitation. Built local citations across travel directories. Targeted keywords like "farmstay in Uttarakhand," "nature retreat near Haldwani," and "luxury homestay Kumaon."

04

Professional Photography

Conducted on-site photoshoots capturing the property's magical ambiance — from twilight shots of the illuminated mushroom lamps to morning tea setups by the garden. These assets formed the backbone of all marketing materials.
