Sustainability at Rakkh Resort in Dharamshala


We inherit a world whose undercurrent of adherence to absolute beauty has over aeons moulded everything we see around. Magnified maximally here, nature is a beacon calling us ashore to a land of meaningful travel and measured indulgence.

When we live as children of the land, caring for mother nature is our identity and not just a choice. Upholding the sanctity of the land by reducing waste is what we naturally do when we treat the larger local community as our family.




Responsible Tourism

THE RAKKH PROMISE

As the sentinels and custodians of the abode of gods, we at Rakkh believe it is our quintessential duty and responsibility to ensure the sanctity and purity of the environment around us. We have put in place certain simple measures to ensure that we treat the land that gives us our livelihood with the respect and gratitude it deserves.

Sustaining Natural Spring Water


Charuru, Himachali for natural spring water is as sweet-sounding as the water is sweet with its nutrients and minerals dissolved. Recently, scientific research has shown that water with optimal TDS and a good spectrum of dissolved minerals is far healthier for consumption than RO water. We are blessed to have this natural spring within Rakkh which provides the water needs of the entire resort fortified with the richness of minerals and sweetness of heavens. That being said, we are cautious and get our waters tested on a regular basis to check for any inadvertent pollutants or effluents mixing in the groundwater. Click here for the latest certificate.

Water Hut


There is a natural spring within the property and a dedicated water hut has now been built for the guests to stay hydrated with the mineral-rich nutritious water coming directly from the Himalayan mountains, sand purified and UV filtered, stored in the traditional matkas and take-away bottles. Hydration points have also been added throughout the resort, which will offer local drinks and Kangra tea to quench the guests’ thirst.

Studies have shown Gen Z is a more grounded generation with aspirations for a good work-life balance and are sensitive towards the ecological impact of our existence and choices. The growing popularity of urban gardens, hydroponics, vertical gardens even in the high rises of metros is a testament to the burning desire to be close to nature.
