About Evoke Experiences

Evoke Experiences, the hospitality brand of the 150-year-old legacy of Lallooji & Sons, began its journey by pioneering glamping in India, redefining experiential tourism with projects like Rann Utsav – The Tent City. Over the years, the company has evolved beyond glamping to offer a diverse portfolio of eco-conscious, immersive luxury stays, blending sustainability with exceptional hospitality. Its hallmark lies in creating world-class properties in remote and lesser-known destinations, making tourism accessible to areas that were previously off the map while promoting local culture and safeguarding fragile ecosystems.

Notable projects include Rann Utsav – The Tent City in Dhordo, White Rann – The Tent City in Dholavira, Evoke Dholavira, Statue of Unity Tent City-1 and  Gandhisagar Forest Retreat. While properties at Rann and Dholavira focus on seasonal glamping, year-round properties like Gandhisagar, Evoke Dholavira, and Statue of Unity Tent City-1 set benchmarks in sustainable tourism, showcasing the company’s expertise in creating transformative hospitality solutions in unconventional locations.

Building on this legacy, Evoke Experiences is now expanding to new destinations such as Sasan Gir Forest, Shivrajpur, Dwarka, Velavadar in Gujarat, Puri, Jagannath in Odisha, and Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. These ventures go beyond stays, offering immersive experiences that range from wildlife exploration and spiritual pilgrimages to cultural journeys and breathtaking landscapes. The company is also diversifying into weddings and banqueting, delivering bespoke grandeur paired with operational excellence. At its core, Evoke Experiences remains committed to promoting tourism in untapped regions, celebrating India’s rich diversity while maintaining a harmonious balance between luxury, sustainability, and cultural integrity.
