1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?


Seeing a tiger in Ranthambore National Park.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?


In January it can be quite cold in Northern India, bring some warm clothes.
The air and noise pollution can be a challenge at times.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


Regarding reducing the environmental impact, I’m not quite sure our vacation did,
unfortunately, since we opted to travel around by car and also flew. We employed quite a few people along the way and that hopefully was good for the local people.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?


Very good.

Dear Cristina,
Namaste!
We thank you for sharing the feedback.

We are so glad to know that you enjoyed the trip with us. We are delighted to know that were able to spot the Tiger in the national park. It indeed is a wonderful experience to spot the Tiger in its natural habitat.
You have impacted positively to the environment and the local people in following ways:

1. By doing tours like village walk in Agra - the proceeds of which go to the community development. This tour is run by NGO that works towards benefit, education and health of the village.

2. You opted for shared safaris in the park which results in people sharing the jeeps and not having exclusive jeeps. This reduces the impact of pollution.

3. You did not opt for Elephant rides at the Amber fort - which supports reducing the cruelty on animals.

4. You used our vehicles that are stringently tested and meet local standards of pollution.

It was truly our pleasure to serve you. We look forward to serving you again in the near future.

Please stay safe and healthy. Wishing you a great year ahead.

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

Planet

As Golden Triangle and Ranthambore region is one of the most visited circuits of India, it is impacted by some of the perils of mass tourism in peak season – pollution, crowd, litter, traffic etc. We have made a detailed plan to make your tours sustainable.

We have emission tested vehicles for the tours. These are as per government norms. Also, our vehicles are regularly serviced so that the fuel utilisation is efficient. This reduces carbon footprint

The guide association, Ministry of Tourism and our company constantly educate the guides and drivers to have proper social hygiene measure like reducing litter, utilization of garbage bins etc. We also ask them to educate the guests who tend to litter during the tour.

In Ranthambore National Park, we use local vendors who are TOFT approved. These approved agencies focus on conservation and environment. Their main goal is to have tourism and environment to go hand-in-hand. A certain proceed of the tours goes toward conservation and local villagers community activities.

People

The hotels selected by us are socially responsible organizations. One of our recommended hotels in Ranthambore named Khem Vilas has executed projects pertaining to healthcare, education, afforestation, dairy development and alternate employment for the locals. There are hotels like Oberoi, Taj and Samode who offer employment to local communities – this is both in terms of permanent and indirect employment.

We have included village tours like Kachpura tour in Agra where you visit a local family and a village near Agra, learn about local culture and see beautiful views of Taj Mahal from there. Such tours are an example of community tourism where the proceeds of tour are given to local society and Mughal Heritage Foundation.

Although the guides are freelancers in India, we offer them frequent training and feedback so that they can empower themselves to offer better services for future tours. Our drivers too are given necessary allowances so that they are more relaxed during the tour. We employ local guides to offer them employment - In Ranthambore as well, the forest guides are locally sourced.

There are many foundations that work in Jaipur and Delhi like Mother Teresa Foundation, Anokhi, CRY etc. We can arrange a visit to these foundation for guests who wish to volunteer or donate.
