Our vision and mission for travel lovers

We intend to give solution from budget/low cost to high end tourists - without any bias or preference, based on absolute transparency. Ethical tours is a website to bring you closer to a different world, so distant from ours.

ABOUT US

After travelling for length and breadth of the country I have found that tourism in India is like a "checklist for various sights" . It is never meant to understand a particular community or their habits apart from its flora and fauna. Our speciality will be serene and pristine hill stations / homestays which are not generally known to public.

There is nobody to promote it for both masses and budget travellers.

During my encounter with different friends/tourists all over the world, I felt how little people know about our amazing folk and tribal art,music and how much they appreciate. They often experience a shock. I felt the inner urge to showcase our fascinating culture -at a throw away price.


It was with this vision in my mind I want to create a sort of cultural bridge between India and the West by bringing to focus Indian wild life,unheard hill stations,art,music aligned to Western tastes.

Our forte will be ethical and environmentally responsible tourism, which will provide new horizons for rural folks, and enable tourist to see a part of India, which is completely unknown to them .


Mission:

-To create an egaltarian state and country and showcase a country and culture which is having a unique place in the civilization of mankind.


We also plan to tie up with ethical organizations abroad which has similar plan and help them logistically.

It is the world's largest religious building. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture – which reached its pinnacle during that period and had its influence all over South East Asia.

No visit to South East Asia is complete without visit to Angkor Wat .

It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
