We embrace a philosophy of mindful consumption to support the surrounding natural habitat and enable a thriving local ecosystem. Reducing our carbon footprint and investing in the local economy allow us to make a greater impact with the choices we make. Over 85% of our team members are from Tehla and nearby villages and we are proud to support local families.

We follow the Zero-mile approach for sourcing fresh ingredients for our seasonal menu. We have our own pesticide and chemical-free garden to provide fresh vegetables and herbs for our kitchen. We use manure from the resident Utsav Camp Sariska dairy cows and vermicompost in our garden to nourish the soil and plants.

Waste management is one of the greatest challenges for the 21st century. At Utsav Camp Sariska, we avoid the use of plastic bottles and all rooms are provided with reverse osmosis filtered water in glass bottles. All our trash is segregated and we compost all biodegradable waste. Guests help us to reduce non-biodegradable waste by not carrying disposable plastic bottles or packaged food in plastic pouches or bags.
 
The hundreds of indigenous trees and plants that have been planted on the property help maintain the groundwater table at healthy levels. Indigenous trees and plants are naturally suited to the harsh Rajasthan summers and don’t require extra water or special care to thrive. To help reduce our water consumption, linens and towels are changed on request only.
 
We recognise the importance of investing in clean energy and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. To reduce our energy consumption, we installed 34-KW solar panels and made an impact with a reduction of over 200 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.

 Our trained naturalists and rangers regularly document local wildlife with the aid of camera traps and photography. We have also mapped out the habitats around Utsav Camp Sariska and maintained checklists of indigenous flora and fauna.

​We continuously strive to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our green initiatives so that wildlife in the surrounding areas can thrive.
