This tour provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:

Local cultural aspects, income to local communities.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:

The tour operators are committed to sharing the benefits of tourism with the local minority people by promoting use of their products & services (houses, handicrafts, food etc) through home stays as part of the tour. As well as this, tourists are able to learn about the local culture & traditions, architecture of houses; making of handicrafts, & preparation of food.

Local guides and communities involved in the tour are paid fairly for all accommodation, food, & handicrafts that tourists use.
