Eco Friendly

Banyan by the Ganges is very conscious about maintaining the pristine nature surrounding it and the possible footprint that we may leave behind.

• In that context we try and follow a no plastic policy and that is one of the reasons we do not serve packaged water in plastic bottles at the resort.
• The water served is sourced from a natural Mountain spring and to be doubly sure about purity, we pass it through a UV and carbon filtration process and serve them in reusable glass bottles.
• The soaps provided are handmade soaps known for their crystal healing powers, made from natural ingredients and natural oils, devoid of soil leaching chemicals like Paraben and Sulphate and the proverbial plastic wrapping.
• As a further step towards protecting our rivers and seas from plastic waste, we do not use plastic liners for our bins and have provided Shampoo dispensers for our guests, therefore doing away with shockingly innumerable ‘disposable’ plastic containers.
• Any unavoidable non bio-degradable waste is segregated and sent to the closest recycling unit.
• We also try to stick to a ‘farm to table’ concept by sourcing our food products from nearby markets, avoiding processed foods and grow seasonal vegetables and herbs in our own natural organic kitchen garden.
• At least 500 plants and trees have been planted by us here and we encourage our guests too to plant a seedling as their contribution to the environment.
• Loud music and Noise pollution is strongly discouraged, in keeping with the peaceful ambience and preserving the quality and proximity of the natural wildlife surrounding the Resort.
• There is so much more to do on this front and we accept the challenge graciously.

We will continue to work diligently to be responsible towards protecting the gift that nature has provided us with.
