How this holiday benefits local communities and the environment you travel to?

One of the most unique programs towards Eco Tourism in India; this holiday supports local forest communities as trackers, guides and interpreters. Due to several "social re-engineering" and political decisions, many of the adivasis have been forced to leave the forest and relocated elsewhere. They have lost touch with their roots and day to day activities.

This particular trip focuses on their role as caretakers of forest, its resources and wildlife and by doing so also assures them a dignified livelihood. Sustainable income through responsible tourism ensures increasing interest amongst local community members, which in turn supports conservation of wildlife and forest resources.

We are also in the process of building a network of accommodation providers who manage their properties in a responsible way so that it doesn’t create any negative impacts to the local area and environment. The focus is on bringing in such benefits through tourism.

Since this trip takes you through a green triangle across different states in South India, the social dynamics and policies are different from state to state. Along this journey, one can clearly observe the pros and cons of human intervention on various levels. For those interested in ethnography and anthropology we can ensure your interaction with policy makers, local government officials, NGOs and the communities throughout your stay.
