Sustainability is a new word for an old idea in Kerala. Methods of recycling, bio composting, farming practices, old recipes, tropical medicine and many more home grown methods that are used as part of daily life come alive in an empowered community of gardeners, cooks, managers & engineers, guides, etc who are active members of the Xandari Community.
One of our earliest actions was to completely avoid the use of plastic bottles. Not only our restaurant but every room is provided with glass bottles containing filtered water. The in-room toiletries too come in handy glass bottles.
The Farm-to-Table initiative at Cardamom County is our endeavor to provide the purest experience to guests with regard to fresh produce and local dishes. This is a win-win situation since our chefs get to use ingredients which elevate their creations to another level while our guests are ensured a sublime gastronomic experience. The food which is indigenous to the region is showcased here and has been much appreciated by our guests. We source directly from local farms.
The first EV charging station set up in the region of Thekkady is at Cardamom County - leading the way for the community to support the use of electric vehicles and reduce the impact of pollution in this precious biosphere. Guests can relax and enjoy their holiday while their cars are recharged.
