Slow Travel

Shreyas has adopted nearby villages and also hires most of its staff from these villages. At Shreyas, our aim is to be sustainable and organic. Food at Shreyas comes mostly from our organic garden. The scrubs and masks used in our spa are freshly prepared from organic ingredients picked from our farm and are chemical and preservative-free. The requirement of milk is met through the cattle reared at Shreyas. The cattle are fed organic fodder grown especially at our farm, ensuring the milk is organic as well. The cow dung from the cattle is recycled as natural manure in the agricultural garden, instead of commercial products. The bio-waste generated in the kitchens is utilized as an input at the in-house organic manure generation pit. They avoid use of plastic. Solar energy panels are used as a source of power where possible.
