Eco friendly Indians!

As a country Indians are not exactly famous for their eco friendly behavior so it was a real surprise to come across www.ecoindia.com. which focuses on eco tourism.

There was an array of services like tours and travels, adventure packages, home stays etc made with sustaining the environment in mind. The tour packages etc caters to the general masses but the listed sites and places are all ecological sanctuaries protected under the Indian Laws.

As mentioned in the site-“Ecotourism is entirely a new approach in tourism”. It aims to take care not to disturb the integrity of the ecosystem, while creating economic opportunities that make conservation and protection of natural resources advantageous to the local people.

A new thing was Agritourism as mentioned in the site. It involves living in a farm, experiencing rural life, tasting local food and even a spot of farming. It provides a welcome escape from a daily hectic life in the peaceful rural environment and gives a good taste of the Indian village life.

The site is user friendly and highly informative. Besides this provides translation options in 6 international languages. But the site holds just as much appeal for the Indian traveler as it does for the international one. Way to go!
