Sustainability & Community
We are deeply committed to preserving this area for future generations
Sustainability
-
Khoj is powered predominantly by hydropower. We plan to add solar and wind in the coming years.
-
We use energy efficient LED lights.
-
We have planted hundreds of trees all over our property to offset emissions.
-
We use natural materials like bamboo, reed, stone, and wood instead of plastic-based materials.
-
We minimize light pollution so you can continue to enjoy beautiful dark skies.
-
We compost food waste into our organic garden.
-
We are reusing all of the wood that we cut down onsite.
-
We are plastic-free. No single-use plastic bathroom products, water bottles or bags.
-
We have our own well and reverse-osmosis water filtration system to eliminate plastic water bottle usage.
-
Our sewage system is built to international standards. For example, our bio-filter soak pit is built 150 feet away from the river to ensure that no contaminants go back into the groundwater or river.
Community
-
About 80% of our workers are from local villages so that we bring money into the local economy.
-
We source local artists and craftspeople for furnishings, art and photography.
-
We support local initiatives like a public library, and school for special needs children.
