Karma Initiatives
At Karma Lakelands, a leading sustainable resort in Gurgaon, sustainability isn’t a checklist; it’s a commitment woven into everyday life. Karma Initiatives brings this promise alive through mindful farming, thriving biodiversity, responsible waste management, water conservation, and conscious, plastic-free practices. Every step contributes to restoring balance with nature, creating a greener footprint today while nurturing a more sustainable tomorrow.
BEE FARMING
Bees, nature’s finest pollinators, play a vital role at Karma Lakelands, helping our crops and plant life thrive. From their hives comes Karma Honey, fresh, organic, and rich in natural enzymes that boost immunity and help fight local allergies.
ORGANIC FARMING
Rooted in our commitment to organic living, we nurture a vibrant nursery where plants, herbs, vegetables, seasonal flowers, and trees are lovingly grown before finding their place across the campus. Guests and residents are welcome to explore this sanctuary.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Here, nothing goes to waste. Kitchen scraps from the Klub, daycare, chalets, and villas are carefully sorted repurposed as animal feed or transformed into rich organic compost, while plastic is sent for recycling.
BIO COMPOSITING
What returns to the earth returns thoughtfully. Our compost made from plant clippings, cow dung, and treated sewage creates a rich, odour-free blend that nourishes the soil without inviting pests.
WATER HARVESTING & CONSERVATION
Here, every drop counts. Rainwater is thoughtfully channelled and harvested to nourish the greens through sustainable irrigation. We also encourage guests to bring their own towels for the pool or gym, though Klub towels are always available should you need them.
WATER BOTTLING PLANT
To keep plastic out of the picture, we set up our own in-house water bottling plant. Aware that plastic bottles can release microplastics into drinking water, we chose a cleaner path. Today, guests are served water in reusable glass bottles purer for you and kinder to the planet.
E-WASTE COLLECTION
Sustainability here goes beyond the everyday, including responsible e-waste management. Collection bins at Klub Karma allow guests and residents to drop off old electronics and batteries with ease, supported by our helpful team.
NO SINGLE USE PRODUCT
Saying no to plastic is a conscious choice we live by. Water is served in complimentary glass bottles and never sold; single-use straws are discouraged, with paper alternatives available on request, keeping every small step aligned with a bigger, greener purpose.
SEEDS TO SAPLINGS
Save the seeds from the fruits you enjoy, and we will nurture them into future trees. Many of the greens you see today have grown with your help, and every seed carried forward means more fruit for generations to come. In partnership with Give Trees Trust and Peepal Baba, we continue working towards a greener planet.
SOLAR ENERGY
Powered by the sun, our resort runs on solar energy that lights up the day while doubling as shaded parking for Klub visitors’ cars and sustainability with a thoughtful touch.
NO HORN POLICY
A strict “No Horn” policy ensures that sound never disturbs serenity. Our guards respond to sight, not noise, allowing the gentle rhythms of nature to remain the only soundtrack you hear.
ECO URINAL BLOCK
Innovation meets impact with Eco Urinal Blocks Bluo. Powered by smart microbial bio-technology, they keep every urinal fresh and odour-free while quietly saving up to 1,75,000 litres of water each year.
BIOGAS PLANT
Our 1-tonne-per-day biogas plant converts organic waste into clean energy and nutrient-rich organic compost. By putting everyday waste to good use, we reduce waste, conserve resources, and create a more sustainable cycle for a greener tomorrow.

Beyond the classroom, she also addresses spiritual and mental well-being through her NGO, Moksh Foundation, where she serves as the Founder and Director.
Give Me Trees Trust
Inspired by his school teacher and grandmother, Swami Prem Parivartan Akka, renowned environmentalist Peepal Baba began his journey of planting and conserving trees at just 11 years old, planting his very first sapling on 26 January 1977. What started as a simple act of care for nature soon grew into a lifelong mission to restore India’s green cover. Over the decades, he has facilitated the plantation of 1.27 crore Peepal trees across India, helping create thriving habitats for birds, insects, reptiles, and small animals in both urban and rural landscapes. His early dedication to planting Peepal trees earned him the affectionate name “Peepal Baba.” He later founded Give Me Trees Trust, now one of India’s largest community-driven tree plantation and conservation movements. Under his guidance, the organisation has planted and preserved over 23 million trees in the past 45 years, making a lasting impact on the country’s ecological future.
