Jaipur hotel, Rajasthan

We use alternative energy sources like solar energy for hot water for shower in our hotel. We use CFL bulbs in our hotel to minimize electricity use and also we post messages on our hotel notice board to tell our guest to turn off lights.

We have under ground water storage tanks in which we collect rain water. There is a waste recycling compost in the area where all biodegradable waste is put in to be converted into manure, which we use for our farm. The vegetables which we use in our hotel are bought from organic farms and some of them are grown in our own backyard, thereby guarantying our food to be fresh. Latest low flush toilets are bought for minimum water consumption.

The owner is a retired air force doctor and gives lectures and provides medical assistance, education, training to the ‘save the tigers’ project in Ranthambore.

All employees are local people. All the products which we use like bed cover in the rooms are made by the local weavers, the furniture in the hotel is made by the local carpenters etc. We only use local services for contraction, repair and restoring of our heritage building and also the painting which is done on our ceilings of the rooms and walls are done by the local artist.
