People
Conservation is not possible without the inclusion of local communities. On this tour we only work with accommodation providers who work closely with the local communities. More than 80% of the staff who work at the properties are local benefiting from the tourism. Manebhajen is a perfect example of how mostly private initiative have worked well to conserve keystone species like the Red Panda. This whole area is not protected and because of private entrepreneurship, the Red Panda is being protected, private lodges, especially the lodge that we stay at have advocated Red Panda. In Kaziranga and Infinity Resort, the resort are also responsible in doing very similar practices. In Darjeeling as well, the lodges are having close contact with the locals, employing the locals. They work closely with the forest department for training purposes and spend CSR activities in the local areas for education and conservation. The lodges have adopted local village schools and educate the kids on the importance of wildlife and conservation.Popular similar vacations
