Sustainability in Fort Barwara
Six Senses Fort Barwara reflects the history and heritage of the Barwara community as it has unfolded over generations. The 700-year-old palace and temples have been responsibly restored using traditional building techniques used in Rajasthan sensitively incorporating efficient design elements such as rainwater collection tanks and solar panels to complement rather than detract from the beautiful and historic architecture. From this significant conservation effort that reinterprets the gracious and regal ambiance of a bygone era, to our work to protect the wider Barwara community, lake, and landscape, we minimize our negative impacts and maximize our positive ones.
Environmental Responsibility
Together with our hosts, we are firmly committed to improving the ecological and carbon footprint from activities associated with the resort and spa operations.

Rewilding the landscape
Our rewilding project aims to conserve the natural habit by removing invasive species such Prosopis Juliflora and by planting native and endemic trees and plants which are vital for a healthy ecosystem.
Social Responsibility
Not only do our building practices make responsible use of the natural land topography, we are also rooted in the local culture. Working closely with architects, artisans and suppliers who live nearby. Supporting the farmers who believe in the same ethical and sustainability standards as we do. Helping local schools with their English-language education courses and lunch programs. Donating medical equipment to the local hospital. Partnering with the Barwara Trustees, to ensure that we collaborate with them on programs that benefit the local villagers.
