can be a key factor in the development process, we, in our own small way, want to ensure a form
of tourism more appropriate than that in most of the third world. It is our intent, as locals, to shape

Appropriate and Sensitive Travel. We would like to offer tours that allow the visitor to experience the land in all its richness and variety.
Though the major focus would be culture and spirituality, one can not experience these aspects without
considerable physical effort. Hence, a spirit of adventure is necessary to make the best of the tour.
We aim at making the tour as inconspicuous as possible. The aspects of accommodation,
food, travel and activities will all be focused towards minimum impact and support from the local populace.
.
The Alternative Process. The tour plan and details will be chalked out before any monetary transaction. The process begins when
you, as a prospective responsible tourist, contact us. We will help you develop an itinerary. Based on the
Itinerary we will decide on a fair pricing. The tour will consist of
Pre-tour Briefings
On-tour briefings/evaluations
Interactions with tourists
Guides
Introduction to the local culture and customs
