Sustainable Practices

Sustainable Initiatives at Kalsee Eco-lodge

Our lodge is built with sustainable measures. Our cabins are built with locally available timber and resources. We have been using solar systems for our power. We have been using a composting toilet. Our lodge is built in the middle of the forest with minimum impact on the environment possible. Our waste management includes kitchen waste which is disposable and non-disposable and is kept separately. The disposable waste is used for compost and non-disposable is sent for recycling. We protect native plants and herbs. We plant native herbs in our lodge area since those herbs are being disappeared in the open forest.

We have been working for social, economic, and environmental well-being  of the region. We have been working with the local community closely. We have been giving awareness on conservation of nature, environment to local. We have been buying vegetables, groceries produced by local farmers from Lumle and Tanchowk village to empower local economy.

Recently, we have given basic beekeeping training to  10 women from two different villages and we will be giving a bee hive and a set of essential materials bee keeping including book, hats, gloves, smoker etc.
