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. It truly lives the moto of responsible tourism and should be supported by all quarters of society and government agencies in its unselfish and public interest efforts towards bringing the much needed change.

India awarded for marketing eco tourism, not actually providing one!!

Last week, India got rewarded at Macau for marketing through different innovative means the essence and diversity of tourism industry by highlighting eco tourism. However, back home, the story is quite different. Except for a few dedicated and successful initiatives, eco tourism still has not being given its due. As one needs to protect the bio-diversity first and then think about making it available for tourists, it becomes an almost impossible task for bureaucrats to do the needful. So whatever efforts have been made are totally private funded/ managed.
Here at Mount Abu, there are a few places earmarked as eco sites. None are habitable and at times not even accessible. The tourism department, along with the Forest department must involve the locals to make things happen.

Misty Abu

That's what I call "Paradise". Its misty, its cool and it ain't raining so much. So you can enjoy the wilderness to the fullest. What else would one desire after spending a cruel 5 days work at office and the traffic snarls. The best weekend getaway. Experience once and get mesmerized forever.

Are you a real nature lover?

As soon as we stepped into our luxury safari tents, the bellboy switched on a couple of air conditioners. Outside, a strong breeze was blowing from the adjoining forested valley, but the tent was not constructed to exploit it for cooling. The air conditioners were sucking on the electricity grid (powered by coal-burning, inefficient, polluting and greenhouse-gas-emitting machinery), with massive diesel generators as back-up. We had just checked into a premium “ecolodge” in the heart of Bandipur National Park in the Nilgiris. http://www.livemint.com/2009/07/17221958/Are-you-a-real-nature-lover.html?h=B

What is More Environmentally Friendly – Tea or Coffee?

The alarm goes off. It’s 6:30am. You know it’s a Monday. What do you do? You can either go back to bed, phone in sick and surf Facebook, or you get up…helping you through this process of the morning news if your daily vice. Be it tea or coffee, I’m pretty sure you’ve got one of those lovely hot drinks by your side. But have you ever considered which is the more environmentally friendly? I bet you haven’t!
