Southern India tour, Hampi & Badami

Planet

On our South India Tour, we ask guests to bring reusable water bottles and refill them at filtered water stations in hotels and restaurants to reduce plastic waste.

When visiting wildlife sanctuaries, we work with experienced, well-trained local guides approved by the government to ensure a responsible experience.

For transport, we use cars or minivans when needed, but also include local rickshaws and encourage guests to cycle, walk, or hike whenever possible to reduce emissions. Guests can use bicycles for sightseeing based on their comfort and skills.

We have switched to online feedback forms instead of paper. Guests can fill them out using their own electronic devices.

People

We prioritize locally run accommodations like homestays and small businesses over larger hotel chains to support the local economy. We hire local guides for tours and excursions to boost the economy in each city we visit. We use 80% of the profits from this tour to support our NGO, which run educational programs for the underprivileged communities of Dharavi (Mumbai), Sanjay Colony (Delhi) and a village called Naujheel in Uttar Pradesh.
