our story pinwheel

A Child Wielding A Pinwheel

A child wielding a pinwheel is ecstatic with joy, movement, curiosity, and unalloyed wonder. Is that not why we all travel?

Hence, the pinwheel represents the innocent, playful, and hopeful symbolism of harnessing the energy that Earth bestows upon us.

Hotels that Care. Community Inclusive and Planet Sensitive.

The pinwheel is the perfect representation of travel that is light and ecstatic, guiding us wherever the wind blows.

Organisations we Support

An underlying ethos at RARE is to support authentic work by individuals and organisations that resonate our love for the planet and the people. Here are some that we strongly support.

Wildlife SOS

Wildlife SOS

Wildlife SOS is a not-for-profit wildlife and nature conservation organization (established 1995), actively working across India to protect and conserve wild animals including mammals, birds, reptiles and their habitats, study biodiversity, conduct research, and create alternative and sustainable livelihoods for erstwhile poacher communities or those communities that depend on wildlife for sustenance. Wildlife SOS is known for its “nothing is impossible attitude” and moxie applied to get conservation wins for wildlife. WSOS operates 12 centers across India including India’s first Elephant Hospital, Elephant Conservation, and Care Centre, Agra Bear Rescue Facility, and the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre. Additionally, they run a 24-hour rescue hotline in four states – Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Gujarat. The Wildlife SOS rescue team works round the clock attending to distress calls from members of the public, police, animal lovers, and other organizations about wild animals in peril or caught in conflict situations.

Waste Warriors Society

Waste Warriors Society

Waste Warriors Society is a not-for-profit solid waste management (SWM) NGO. Their journey began with Jodie Underhill and Tashi Pareek in the littered hills of Upper Dharamshala with just an empty bag, a pair of gloves, few volunteers, and a vision to clean India. They registered in Dehradun in 2012, and their Corbett chapter was initiated by Minakshi Pandey in 2013. They now have a vibrant team of nearly 100 staff, 60% of whom are formal waste workers, running nine SWM initiatives in three locations. Their mission is to develop integrated SWM systems through models that are affordable, sustainable and replicable. They essentially focus on waste segregation, collection, and processing, as well as behavioral change and livelihood development. They also work to destigmatize, formalize & empower the lives of informal waste workers. Their teams engage with people at all levels, from waste pickers to community residents and corporates to government
