"Everything you can imagine is real."
Forest Hill Resort
An Ecosanctuary
If you step your foot at Forest Hill Resort, you must know that it has much more to offer than what meets the eye. Just 15 minutes away from Chandigarh, the project is a warm welcoming hug that embraces you with its serene and tranquil environment. One of the early planned cities in post-independence India, Chandigarh is internationally known for its architecture and urban design. The master plan was prepared by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier and in 2016 Chandigarh was declared UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thriving very close to this master-planned city is Forest Hill Resort, striking a perfect balance between a healthy and luxuriously rich lifestyle.
The backdrop of Shivalik Hills intensifies the beauty of the overall unadulterated surroundings of Forest Hill Resort. The meandering hilly tracks and a thick cover of trees attract tourists in large numbers. It is an ideal spot for adventurers, photographers and nature lovers. The bewitching Forest Hill Resort is so close to the city and is what the urban heart comes looking for.
Shivalik Foothills
Gratify your soul with nature's symphony.
Imagine a world without trees, birds, freshwater, clouds or flowers? We can live in a world without materialistic things but we cannot imagine a life where we are away from the beauty of nature. It is an essential part of us as we need it to survive and thrive. It's time to leave all those glitter and gloss of materialism behind and connect with our true selves in the most natural environment - Shivalik Hills. Rediscover your roots, explore your bare emotions and light up your eyes with little joys that have been given to us by Mother Earth.
Bird Watching
Let the birds wake you up every morning.
Birds are the feathered jewel that rules the sky. They keep systems in balance, pollinating plants, dispersing seeds, scavenging carcasses and recycling nutrients back into the earth. But their role is not just limited to that. They feed our spirits, makes our heart flutter with happiness and inspire us to fly high to reach the limits of the sky. Their sheer ubiquity makes them almost unavoidable and at Forest Hill Resort you will witness a variety of birds species such as Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Common Kestrel, Blue-Throated Barbet, Brown- Headed Barbet, White-Capped Redstart, Plumbeous Water Redstart, Plum-Head Parakeet, Green-Tailed Sunbird, Common Quail, Indian Pitta, Jungle Fowl, Bats, Indian Peacock, Owl, White-Browed Shrike Babbler, Fire Breasted Flowerpecker, etc.
Animal Sighting
Find the invaluable treasure of living nature.
How often do you get a chance to interact with animals? Not just cats and dogs but a myriad of wildlife? Probably the answer is, not very often. Surely, a lot of people would love spending their days surrounded by animals but such a thing can't happen while you live in a place that is filled with bricks and concrete. Forest Hill Resort is one such place where you can observe a variety of animals inhabiting in their natural environment. Wild Boar, Fox, Barasingha, Blue Bull, Sambar, Jackal, Wild Goat or Porcupine, you will witness them all in your hilly dwelling.
Fascinating Flora
Every plant is a soul blossoming in nature.
Want to experience what it is like spending your day and night in a naturally rich environment? Then, your search will end the moment you will step in Forest Hill Resort, where your surroundings are filled by naturally growing plants like neem, phulai, kikar, shisham, chhal, kachnar, jhigan, amla, kari patta, semal, raeru, kachna, kendu, dhak, khair, tut & musket plants. The greenery and freshness all around will surely keep you from leaving your luxuriously natural lifestyle.
Masol
First human may have walked on this land.
A village located in Shivalik Hills and 10 KM away from Chandigarh, Masol has been declared as a protected area with millions of years old fossils. The area holds high archaeological value and its close proximity to the resort will offer a chance to witness the wonders of human evolution. Nearly 1,500 fossils and 250 stone tools have been found on the site, most were of extinct animals that walked the earth millions of years ago. The strategic location of Forest Hill Resort near this archaeological beauty is easily accessible via highways and is close to major healthcare, recreational and educational facilities.
Preservation of Environment & its Resources
Preserving the mother earth.
Enjoying every moment in peace and happiness while being in harmony with nature and the environment has been the aim of Forest Hill Resort. This is not only evident in our words but also in our approach towards architectural development. The living area is built only on 10% of the total area, keeping the biodiversity and natural features of the site in mind. Over 8000 acres of Sukhna wildlife sanctuary is very well respected and is close by to cherish and enjoy. The building materials used are local and sustainable, which include certified wood, recycled and rapidly renewable materials as well as natural fibres, fabrics and flooring. Further contribution towards the environment is made by using only sustainable and biodegradable products in the resort and saying 'no to plastic' use.
Our work doesn't just end here. The project will be comprised of a waste plant that is based on reduction, reuse and recycling. A sewerage treatment plant has already been set up in the property where the daily waste will be recycled to promote environment-friendly ways and the treated water will be used for irrigation. Use of Solar Energy Techniques, Energy-efficient lighting and appliances are also made. All this will ensure a low carbon footprint, creating an ideal living area for living beings.
Preservation of flora & fauna, as well as wildlife, is also kept in mind, adding a whole new charm to the resort. Water harvesting dams will ensure that the residents or visitors don't have to face any issues of water shortage and water reservoir will provide the animals with access to drinking water. So, whether it is humans or animals, Forest Hill Resort will be a thriving place for both.
Sustainability
The future of our planet
is in our own hands
As a nature resort, Forest Hill Resort actively thinks about using environment-friendly and socially responsible ways to offer uncompromisingly gorgeous hideaways to our visitors and residents. From water harvesting to green practices, here are a few things that we do to contribute towards the environment.
Water
Harvesting
Water is a basic necessity and being actively used in large quantities. But only a few amount of people or communities are thinking about harvesting water from natural resources. At Forest Hill Resort, we are adopting the latest methods such as water harvesting system, water recycling and recharging soil water. This way we are able to save on water expenses and limit the waste which is essential for a better living.
Green Groundskeeping
Practices
All the trees at Forest Hill Resort are intact and being removed only if they are diseased, dead or at the risk of falling. Till now, we have also planted more than one lakh trees and to increase the area of biodiversity, we have also introduced a large number of new plants species along with indigenous species that possess medicinal value (Bahera, Aonla, Neem, Dake etc.), aesthetic value and also provide food to Birds like Ficus species. One will also find herbal plants like Chirayta, Brahmi, Stevia, Moringa etc. planted firmly and thriving at the resort.
Green Laundry
Practices
The linen used in the rooms and around the resort is washed daily only when requested. This helps in saving water and along with that other environmentally friendly laundry products are also used.
Drip & Sprinkler
Irrigation
Forest Hill Resort has plenty of plants, tress and greenery all around. To provide them with the right environment to nurture and thrive in, plenty of water will be needed. As FHR aims at preserving water resources, we use drip & sprinkler irrigation methods. This method ensures that the entire green area is sufficiently covered and there's minimum water loss through evaporation or surface runoff. We make sure that every drop of water is used in a thoughtful way, thus saving 30% to 40% water than what would have normally been used.
Waste Recycling &
Segregation
At Forest Hill Resort, we are committed towards keeping the entire resort area immaculately clean. We do this with the help of the bins that are installed all around the resort and have a standardized color-code with clear signage that encourages the visitors as well residents to assist us in our mission. As the bins clearly mention which each one is for, the people around make sure that only that particular item goes into the bin so that it can later be processed, reused or sent to a private treatment facility. Food waste produced in our kitchen and landscaping waste coming from plant trimmings, dry leaves, branches, etc. are recycled through composting and mulching. We try to give back to the mother earth and things that are non-degradable are put to better uses.
Green Count
Forest Hill Resort is a private location in every sense and nestled away in a serene environment, away from the bustle of the city. It is unlike any tourist destination, with its own identity that highlights in a spectacular manner. The entire resort, living spaces, club and recreational areas are surrounded by pristine beauty of unadulterated greens, trees, fields, hills and valleys. But we are not just limited to the green count that is already there in the location. We have planted more trees and plants such as Chirayta, Brahmi, Stevia, Moringa, etc. to enhance the beauty and offer the visitors a clean green environment that they would love to be a part of.
Proactive Efforts to Reduce Waste
Use less, choose well, make it last.
Caring about nature is an important step to take but at the same time, one should also cut down the waste produced every day. At Forest Hill Resort, we actively work to reduce waste output. We are making use of the technology so that paper is used in the least amount possible. The guests' bathrooms are equipped with dispensers that bring down the use of individual amenity bottles. The guests also receive reusable water bottles so that there's reduction in wastage. As a community, we support the government's initiative to stop the use of single-use plastic and take the right measures to save the environment.
Benefit the Local Community
Making a contribution towards the local community.
The aim of Forest Hill Resort was always to contribute towards society and try to make it a better place. The project being large scale needs manpower so that the resort can run smoothly. For this, FHR is employing a large percentage of the staff from the local communities. The project is already running a vocational program for the local girls in association with the Dashmesh Education Society from over 20 years, building that employment pipeline and nurturing the professional development of the local children.
The material and produce used at Forest Hill Resort are also locally sourced. We also promote local artifacts, handicrafts and artists through our Arts and Culture Village.
