Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.

While you visit Taj Mahal, we encourage our guests to either walk or use battery operated Vans. This reduces the impact of pollution on Taj Mahal.
We do not encourage activities that cause harm to animals - we do not suggest going for Elephant Riding activity at Amber Fort.
Ganges is one of the most polluted rivers in India. In order to avoid pollution in the river, 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.
The Impacts of this Trip
Varanasi is home to Ganges – the holiest river in India. The region is know for its silks manufacturing units that are world renowned. We encourage our guests, who wish to do local shopping, to visit these stores so that the local art forms are promoted, creating employment opportunities for the locals.
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.
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.
