Thekkady’s first heritage hotel
About Laurie Baker

Best Practices

- Policy on use of plastics – For packing, we use newspapers bags produced by local self help groups. We follow minimal use of plastic on the premises.
- Energy efficiency – We have maximised energy-efficient systems by using CFL Lamps, LED Bulbs, Rainwater Harvesting, Sewage Treatment Plant for irrigation, etc.
- Waste management and Recycling procedures – food and organic waste goes to the pig farm, and the sewage treatment plant is also in use.
- Greenery within the premises and buildings – the abundance of plants and trees lowers temperature, increases oxygen availability and coolness within. We have fruit trees such as mango and jackfruit, flowering plants, ornamental plants, and a large tamarind tree close to the entrance.
- Solar/ alternative heating – The solar water heating system is in full swing for guest and staff usage.
