As champions of ‘slow travel’…
The Singh family value sustainable and responsible travel hugely. They’ve set up a number of valuable social-outreach initiatives to support the nearby villagers, and they also back local artisans to help keep the region’s rich tapestry of handicrafts alive.
To preserve the area’s natural biodiversity, they work hard to maintain and improve the 200+ lakes on the grounds, which were originally constructed by their ancestors to address the region’s drought-like conditions.
Those of us lucky enough to stay at their ‘summer palace’ also benefit immensely from their work in the community. From wandering around the local village and visiting the family tombs to exploring the lovely lakes and enjoying evening drinks at a local fort that’s been in the family for generations, you feel a sense of tremendous luck, honour and privilege, enabled by the obvious standing in which the family is held locally.
