sustainability

It is our belief that conservation of wild habitats and wildlife in India is only possible if it has an economic and social incentive. The communities of the regions should be participants and beneficiaries of the wildlife tourism as it creates vested interests.

We try to employ and procure most of whatever is possible from locals only. Over 90% of our staff is from the local community itself. We try to create opportunities with training sessions for up-skilling so that they can grow in their areas of interest. The materials and general supplies including paintings for our interiors are sourced from the surrounding areas. The souvenir shop too serves as a place to sell the paintings and other handicrafts sourced from NGOs and local artisans.

The guests are encouraged to visit the nearby villages and interact with artisans which promotes their work and fosters cross cultural understanding and respect. We encourage the locals to share their cultural practices and certain native skills with the guests.

We organise medical camps and other community driven initiates for the villages around our lodges. There are also activities and walks organized in the local village schools for the children of the area. Through these small efforts, we aim to educate the children to care about the environment. We aim to strengthen our outreach programs in the coming years.
