RESPONSIBLE & SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL

Today it is almost unavoidable to the world community to go by without recognizing the social, economic and environmental impact of tourism. All the development that tourism has bestowed upon the global community is really remarkable, but there are certain negatives as well. Our first and foremost duty to the planet we live in is we try to minimize the carbon footprint so that the coming generations get a chance to explore the world the same way we imagine doing it ourselves.

There is a paradigm shift amongst the travelers who are now preferring a more sustainable and responsible way of travel. It is a myth that sustainable travel is only applicable to the uxury resorts and lodges, there are many affordable eco lodges and homestays that attract many budget conscious travelers that show interest in sustainable travel.
