As global travellers grow more conscious of their impact, sustainable tourism in India is emerging as both a necessity and a lifestyle. Known for its spiritual energy and natural beauty, Rishikesh attracts adventurers, wellness seekers, and nature lovers alike. But what if you could experience it all without compromising the environment?

Welcome to Aranyam – A premium Wellness and active lifestyle resort in Rishikesh that Examplifies sustainablity at every level

Why Sustainable Tourism Matters

Nestled in the Himalayan foothills and flanked by the sacred Ganges, Rishikesh is an ecologically sensitive region. The growing influx of tourists often puts pressure on its rivers, forests, and communities.

Sustainable tourism ensures that:

• Natural ecosystems are preserved
• Local communities benefit
• Cultural heritage remains protected
• Tourism remains viable for future generations

By choosing eco-friendly resorts in Rishikesh like Aranyam, travellers actively support responsible travel in India.

Aranyam: Where Luxury Meets Sustainability

Aranyam is not just another scenic getaway, it is a sustainable sanctuary designed with purpose. Here is how it sets itself apart:

1. EcoSTP: A One-of-a-Kind Wastewater Management System

Aranyam uses a chemical-free EcoSTP (Eco Sewage Treatment Plant) system that mimics natural biological processes to treat wastewater. This ensures zero harm to the surrounding water bodies and ecosystems.

2. Solar Energy & Rainwater Harvesting

• A solar geyser system powers hot water supply, reducing reliance on non-renewables.
• A rainwater recharge system helps replenish underground water tables.

3. Wildlife-Friendly Lighting

• Energy-efficient, low-consumption LED lights are installed across the property.
• Downward-facing pathfinder lights with warm tone, reduce light pollution, protecting nocturnal birds, wildlife and even fireflies (who are critically endangered now due to habitat loss and excessive light pollution in urban areas).

4. Habitat Creation & Biodiversity Support

Aranyam has consciously cultivated natural habitats for native birds and butterflies, turning the resort into a live biodiversity hotspot.

Responsible Practices Beyond Infrastructure

5. Waste Segregation & Low Plastic Use

The resort practices strict waste segregation and actively minimizes single-use plastic, encouraging guests to follow eco-responsible behaviour during their stay. The resort does not sell single use plastic mineral water bottles and provides complimentary RO purified water to its guests. A provision of packaged reusable glass mineral water bottles is kept for the guests who may like to avail of those.

6. Organic Kitchen Garden & Local Sourcing

Fresh, organic produce from the on-site kitchen garden supports clean eating. Most other supplies are sourced from local farmers and vendors, promoting the regional economy and reducing carbon footprint.

7. Empowering Local Communities

• Majority of the staff are hired from nearby villages and towns.
• In association with Good Deeds People (GDP) Trust, the resort supports local education, skill building, and livelihood initiatives.

Education & Conservation Initiatives

8. Bird Conservation with Birdy Baat

Aranyam collaborates with Birdy Baat, a not-for-profit working on bird conservation and eco-awareness:

• Training local school children in bird identification and habitat protection
• Vocational birding workshops to help youth gain employable eco-tourism skills

This holistic approach makes Aranyam more than just a place to stay – it is a learning ecosystem for guests and locals alike.
