Ecotourism holidaying involves travelling to areas of natural or cultural interest and living there responsibly so as to minimize the adverse effects of tourism in its more traditional form. Ecotourism seeks to involve local communities and preserve indigenous traditions, even as it gives visitors an authentic experience. Thus, it benefits all – the environment, the community and the visitor.

This ethnic art form, from the state of Orissa, is done on cloth which the artists prepare by coating it with a mixture of chalk and gum made from tamarind seeds.

Kettuvallom, the huge Kerala snakeboat which can go upto 25 metres and hold upto 30 tons of cargo, is made of huge planks of wood held together with coir knots only - not a single nail is used in its construction.

We just got back yesterday from an amazing holiday – thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime! The luxury started with business class tickets from Air India, and continued with the Rambagh Palace. We have stayed at other five star hotels in Australia and overseas and this was by far the best. We had a very memorable evening at a traditional Rajasthani village, eating traditional food and watching the dances, puppetry and camel rides. The ride to Agra was long but worth it to experience the wonder of the Taj Mahal and the Fort. We stayed in another nice hotel there.
