A heritage hotel which is eco-friendly
-Susan sharma
“As tourism evolved globally from a business model into a tool for ensuring uniform diffusion of the socio-economic benefits, as well as a means of conservation with respect to biodiversity (a
topic now increasingly coming under the scanner, but more due to mismanagement rather than a flaw in the concept),niches like eco tourism, responsible tourism, sustainable tourism started emerging, bound together by a common idea; but the approach differing

Wake up to the call of Koels at 4 AM , followed by numerous bird calls and the sparrows taking over the music and the verandahs of the hotel soon. This unique experience before

If you're a bird lover like me, and want to draw a diverse range of bird life to your yard,you'll need more than just a birdbath or bird feeder. The ambience has to be inviting,
an area of abundant bushes, trees and flowers that attract and make local birds feel at home.

Just 15 km away is Pangot, that unique village where bird density must be maximum compared to any other village in India. The whole village is” living in harmony with birds”.
