• Towels and bed sheets are not changed everyday unless specifically requested.
• A green purchasing policy using local materials and food has been adopted.
• Traditional architecture and construction methods are used in building and maintenance.
• "No plastic philosophy" is maintained.
  • Purchases made for the restaurant are done without using polythene bags.
  • Mineral water bottles are not sold to guests, instead free water is provided in jugs.
• An in-house waste management system of biodegradable waste is set up.
• Employment  opportunities are given to locals.
• All staff are encouraged to volunteer on clean ups of heritage sites.

• Do not ask for towels and sheets to be changed daily as this uses a lot of water.

  • Do not accept plastic shopping bags. The hotel will provide cloth bags which can be returned later or be purchased.
