Sacred grove restoration with Rajasthan's desert communities

About Kaner Retreat

Kaner Retreat is India’s first desert botanical retreat, rooted in the extraordinary ecology and living culture of the Thar Desert. Founded by Sapna Bhatia, Kaner was conceived as an ode to the landscapes, traditions, and communities that define Rajasthan’s desert heritage. Set beside a sacred desert grove known locally as an Oran, the retreat offers an immersive experience shaped by native botanicals, regional craft traditions, and a deep reverence for the land. Recognised for its commitment to responsible tourism, Kaner works closely with artisan communities and grassroots non-profits, placing cultural preservation and ecological stewardship at the heart of its philosophy.
