Shimla’s Water Crisis and the Lazy Dependency on the Government
Shimla’s residents need to give up their hopeless dependency on the government and begin water conservation practices like harvesting and recycling water.
Shimla roofs are already sloping and have a drain. All that needs to be done, is to connect the down pipe to a storage tank.
But Shimla residents somehow choose to live without water than harvest it
Sustainability and Luxury go Hand in Hand
Another big luxury one can provide guests especially in Himachal’s biting winter is a warm home. Both our resorts are designed to keep the cold out and prevent heat loss from within. There is a heat loss of over 20 percent from the roof and over 60 percent from the walls.
Sarahan-The Temple Town for the Pilgrim and the Traveller, Himachal
Sarahan, like most small hill stations in Himachal is a pilgrim town – an overgrown village really- where life revolves around its local God. The temple that enshrines the deity is ancient so are the myths and legends that keep changing depending on whom you talk to. No one minds the daily loud chimes of the temple bells mornings and evenings and my mother who is traveling with me as a pilgrim sighs inwardly in her serene way on hearing the first distant bell. Sarahan however has something for both the pilgrim and the traveler.
