Ikaki Bagh provides an outlet for villagers to sell hand-made products and produce grown directly from local villagers through sustainable farming. Produce is distributed directly to visitors with all proceeds returned directly to the villagers. Local handmade goods for purchase will include knitted cushions and pillow covers using traditional patterns, Jaipur block printed handkerchiefs and bandannas, handcrafted skin care soaps, locally made pickles, and handmade kites, as kite-flying is a long-standing tradition in the region.<\/p>\n
Visitors may also order a ‘charpoy’, a traditional Indian day bed that is exceptionally comfortable. The charpoy is made with a tightly woven bed of rope, as ropework is a specialty of the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ikaki Bagh is deeply interested in the overall health of the natural environment.<\/strong> At the core is trying to understand how all organisms in our ecosystems relate to each other and the role of human beings in this environment.<\/p>\nWe want Ikaki Bagh to be a highly productive property while also being a leading sustainable farming enterprise. The integration of ecological conservation into property management helps build resilience and promotes healthy environmental conditions.<\/p>\n
Parts of Ikaki Bagh and our wider region have suffered environmental degradation from factors such as use of industrial herbicides and pesticides, salinity, erosion and over-grazing.<\/p>\n
We are fully committed to a program of ecological restoration.<\/strong><\/p>\nA major step in our commitment is the careful reafforestation of Ikaki Bagh and surrounding land. We run a tree and shrub planting program. We choose species that are compatible with our local environment, resilient and promote bio-diversity.<\/p>\n
