Green sustainability
Our Vision
Our ultimate mission is to conserve our natural habitat for future generations as our diverse cultural heritage and this guides everything that we do. Our future is inextricably linked with the health of our environment”
Our Initiatives
Solar Energy
Turning to the sun for power: We are conscious of power scarcity and are constantly seeking ways to reduce our burden on the grid. Solar power accounts for up to 75% of our energy needs at Umaid Lake Palace, Kalakho (Dausa) and supports almost all operations, barring a few. We are committed to attaining 100% self-reliance in energy in the near future.
We have also come to realize that working with the earth is a two way project. We need to give back as much, perhaps more, than we take from her to keep things in balance and working well.
Organic Farming, In House Dairy & Poultry
At Umaid Lake Palace most of the food is prepared from vegetables grown locally in house using traditional methods with organic fertilizers and with minimum use of water. We have installed energy saving bulbs in the rooms & common areas. For bonfire we use Julie Flora which is planted on the fences throughout the property. In this way no trees need to be cut for fuel.
