Support the initiative

One of the best responsible eco-tourism pags I've seen in years. Mount Abu has its own guardians and saviors. Mount Abu - the adobe of Gods tries to bring forth some relevant issues concerning travel and tourism and at the same time also allows its fans to cherish the many wonders of this tiny hill station.

No development. No Eco tourism.

"If this is to be a tourist hotspot, which it already is, it needs more infrastructural attention. Even eco-tourism requires a policy framework; it is a mistake to think that developmental neglect will spontaneously produce a pristine environment. A handsoff policy of development is not and should not be treated as a default mode for eco-tourism. Sustainable waste management, for instance, must be a central concern. Where, on an island, can thousands of plastic mineral water bottles be disposed of? Initiatives to address these concerns, channelled through the local panchayats, have yielded little so far."

After the notification declaring this tiny spot on the vast Aravalli range as a Eco Sensitive Zone, it becomes absolutely imperative to put money and time properly.
