WelcomHeritage has introduced the WelcomHeritage Arka Resort and Spa in Rishikesh, a hillside retreat set against the Shivalik range. Spanning 3.5 acres at an altitude of 4,300 feet, the property sits at Patti Talla in Village Kund Silogi on Lansdowne Road in Yamkeshwar.
The location offers views of natural ponds, mountain landscapes, and the point where the Ganges flows into the plains. Moreover, travelers approaching from Tapovan pass through Rajaji National Park, an area known for birdlife, deer, and the occasional leopard sighting.
Speaking about the launch, Ashutosh Chhibba, CEO, WelcomHeritage Hotels, said, “WelcomHeritage Arka Resort & Spa represents our continued commitment to curating meaningful stays in India’s most inspiring landscapes. Rishikesh has long been a destination for wellness, spirituality, and adventure, and Arka is designed to complement this setting with thoughtful hospitality, contemporary comforts, and a deep connection to nature. We believe the resort will resonate with travelers seeking tranquillity as well as those looking to explore the region’s rich natural and cultural heritage.”
Arka’s design takes inspiration from the five elements of nature. The resort includes twenty-five chalets across four categories, with one luxury unit offering a private pool. Tudor-style structures, pine-log ceilings, and minimalist interiors create a modern mountain feel, paired with amenities such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, and essential in-room comforts.
Dining options feature a multi-cuisine restaurant serving regional, international, Sattvik, vegan, and Pahari dishes, along with a bar offering cocktails, spirits, and wines. Furthermore, a spa based on Vedic and Ayurvedic treatments will open soon. In addition, the resort offers facilities such as a swimming pool, yoga room, nature trails, and birdwatching areas.
Event spaces at the resort can accommodate gatherings ranging from fifty to four hundred guests. With easy access to Patna Waterfalls, Laxman Jhula, and popular rafting points, the resort introduces a new stay option for leisure travellers as well as spiritual and adventure enthusiasts.
