Our colleagues in India are one of a new breed of specialist adventure planners. They have enormous respect of the diverse cultures and indigenous tribes throughout India - specifically in the North East. This has been gained by their own journeys into these remote areas, getting to know the tribes and their ways and asking their permission to bring foreigners to share and experience their way of life and culture.
They encourage tourist numbers to remain limited on certain trips through the requirement of special permits and details such as camp toilets above the high water mark ensure that ecological impact is minimal.
By travelling into the North East of India with us you will be helping to create the income and funds for the exact benefits and development required, as determined by the villagers themselves. We have had direct involvement in the provision of equipment and setting up of computer classes in areas where the children require more developed education.
We believe in Fair Travel Trading, and adhere to the principles of Green Globe 21, for which Nigel Gifford OBE, FRGS and founder of the agency running this trip, is the advisor on adventure travel worldwide. In the Indian sub-continent and South America we help to provide better conditions for porters, and the protection of indigenous peoples in remote and fragile places such as rainforests and the sub-polar regions. Our trips also operate in line with PATA principles; we expect our clients to be committed to sustainable tourism.
We offer you the chance to contribute to Climate Care, from £12 per person.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
