In a article entitled Roads less travelled, Catherine Mack writes this about the Green Circuit "Travelling ethically on a land mass as vast as the Indian subcontinent has been made so much easier with the recent creation of the Green Circuit (thegreencircuit.net). Five local tour operators in India and Nepal, all specialists in deep-rooted community-based responsible-tourism initiatives, have collaborated to provide a wide range of natural and cultural heritage trips. From the Blue Yonder, in Kerala (theblueyonder.com), to Social Tours, in Nepal (socialtours.com), experiences vary greatly, including a yak safari into the trans-Himalayan deserts, monitoring elephant-migration corridors in eastern Himalaya and learning traditional drumming with villagers living along Kerala’s River Nila." |
Occasionally, we receive a pat in the back, reassurance that we are on the right track. In November 2009, National Geographic Adventure Magazine mentioned us as recommended operator for the Great Himalayan Trail, one of the 25 best new trips in the planet!
We have also been nominated five times (2006 - 09) for the Responsible Tourism Awards in the UK. We have not won any awards as yet, but each nomination or mention encourages us even more. Thanks to all who have helped make this happen.
