What is Biotourism
Biotourism is an innovative idea conceived and launched by our team around three decades ago in the Alaknanda Valley of Uttarakhand state in India in the years 1999-2000. Soon after the formation of the State of Uttarakhand, we developed and conceived an idea to Preserve the ecology, Environment, cultural heritage, Folk traditions, fragile ecosystem, and Exquisite beauty of the Himalayas.
We believe - as per our own definition of Biotourism - apart from Ecotourism is - " In this Biom Human life is on top priority for us along with other components such as - balanced ecosystem, ecology and environment for the survival of a Human creature ( Above gender) . Biotourism includes nature and its compounds i.e.- Air , Water , Food and sunlight which is a very important and basic necessity for human survival on this planet., without them life is not possible .
