Located in the rugged Aravalli hills of Rajasthan's Pali district, Jawai is a hidden jewel with the seasonal lakes home to crocodiles and birds as the granite outcroppings were formed over millions of years. As if this nature filled backdrop isn't enough, Jawai has a population of leopards living freely within the arid region. Praveg Caves Jawai has set the bar for example of eco-friendly luxury by combining luxury accommodations with conservation efforts. Resort-like Praveg supports sustainable tourism by supporting local wildlife and communities while providing guests with luxury accommodations and at the same time helping preserve their habitat.
The Unique Landscape of Jawai
With granite hills as its base, a population of leopards, and a thriving community of Rabaris, Jawai offers an incredible diversity of species and habitats. Praveg Caves Jawai sits within this unique environment, providing cave and tent accommodations that are designed using local stone. This method of construction creates an eco-friendly design by utilising the natural cooling properties of stone in addition to reducing energy consumption.
Sustainability
The resorts also use renewable energy such as solar power, implement strictly enforced water conservation policies, prohibit plastic, have engineered bio-degradable waste recycling, and have created a natural filtration system that enables the resort's operations to coexist with the energy and resources provided by nature. All safari vehicles are required to remain in established access paths to maintain a proper distance from the wildlife seen while on safari to prevent stress and disturbance during leopard sighting.
Premium Amenities
There are different room types located on the property: 12 cave rooms (some of which have private plunge pools at 443 square feet) and high-end tents complete with the same modern conveniences (including plush bedding and outside porches). In addition to infinity pools and spa services, there are a number of guided safari, birdwatching, and cultural activities that enhance employment opportunities in the local area.
The Role of Conservation
Praveg is reducing the carbon footprint of both leopards and community craft production, providing a source of revenue without the damaging effects of mass tourism. By allowing guests to indirectly contribute to the conservation of leopards and local crafts through the cost of their stay, Praveg's eco-friendly luxury hotel model allows for the maintenance of a peaceful environment for both animals and guests.
Looking Toward the Future
Praveg Caves is an example of eco-friendly luxury and should serve as an example for all eco-friendly luxury hotels globally. By having conservation as the number one priority along with all other aspects of comfort in the accommodation, all of Praveg's hotels are setting the stage for the continued existence of Jawai's natural beauty for generations to come, allowing all guests the ability to travel responsibly and to protect the pristine ecosystem.
