Environmental Impact
We're sharing information about our environmental strategy and impact. Here's the status of our environmental plan:
Full environmental impact plan in use
We, at Dolkhar, understand that a building is more than just a structure- it is, in fact, a physical manifestation of our ideas and desires beyond the confines of pure function. We have spent innumerable hours dedicated to consciously creating our seven villas so that they represent Ladakh while holding very closely our ideals of community and sustainability. Structures at Dolkhar are made out of locally sourced materials using local techniques of construction and by local artisans. For instance, we have used the compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks [CSEB] for the building, local willow and poplar wood for the roofs, traditional columns and beams for structural support and we have collaborated with over forty Ladakhi craftspeople from different villages on embellishing the interiors with the use of local materials.

Social Impact Strategy
We have a strategy in place for having a positive impact on our community.
1) Our laundry bags and notepads have been made from waste by our differently abled friends at "PAGIR" (Peoples Action Group for Inclusion and Rights).
2) Our cushion covers and throws have been made by "Superb Ladakh".
3) As an extension of our love for local and handmade, our rooms are stylistically elevated by the sheep and yak wool rugs hand woven by women from Kharnak, Changtang.
4) Our soaps are locally made from apple/seabukthorn/apricot by "Ladags Organic Store".
5) The bathroom amenities have been custom made for Dolkhar by "Bare Necessities"- a zero waste, non polluting, community driven product and service company.
6) Our toilet paper and napkins- recycled and eco friendly come from GoodKarma.
7) The coffee in our rooms has been customised by "Billi Hu" and is a perfect blend of "Robusta Beans" and two kinds of differently processed Arabica beans. The combination gives the coffee a full robust body and the most lovely acidity.
