Community Impact - Beyond the Resort
Luxury isn’t just about what we offer—it’s about the legacy we leave behind. At Aahana, hospitality goes beyond comfort, extending into the lives we uplift, the traditions we preserve, and the communities we nurture.
Keepers of Kumaon - Hands that Build
A resort is only as extraordinary as the people who bring it to life. At Aahana, 90% of our team hails from the Kumaoni region, ensuring every interaction carries the warmth of homegrown hospitality. From naturalists with a deep understanding of the forest to chefs who honour traditional recipes, their strong connection to the land ensures every experience is genuine and rooted in authenticity. Through continuous training and leadership programs, we nurture local talent, empowering them to share their stories and traditions with the world.
Sustaining Livelihoods, Strengthening the Region
Aahana doesn’t just exist in Corbett—it nurtures it. Our commitment to “Local Over Outsourced” transforms sustainability into an economic model, ensuring that growth benefits the community. By sourcing fresh produce, artisanal crafts, and services from local businesses, we strengthen the region’s economy while preserving its cultural heritage. Through partnerships with small-scale farmers and craftspeople, we empower traditional trades and foster responsible tourism, creating a ripple effect of opportunity and resilience.
Cleanliness Drives
At Aahana, luxury and responsibility go hand in hand. Our “Clean Corbett” drives invite both our team and guests to actively preserve the pristine beauty of forest trails and natural landscapes. Beyond our borders, our commitment to sustainability extends into the wild, where every space we touch is cared for. Waste from the resort is meticulously sorted, recycled, and repurposed, ensuring that our footprint remains as light as nature intended.
A Future for Her
At Aahana, empowerment is more than a promise—it’s about creating real opportunities for women to thrive. By investing in school infrastructure, we ensure that young girls have safe, well-equipped spaces to learn and grow, fostering an environment where education is not just encouraged but truly accessible. Beyond building classrooms, we provide essential school supplies—from textbooks to uniforms—so that financial barriers never stand in the way of a child’s future.
But education isn’t just about academics. Through dedicated workshops on menstrual hygiene and overall well-being, we equip young women with the confidence and knowledge to take charge of their health. By nurturing both learning and awareness, we help shape a future where every girl has the tools she needs to flourish.
