Alternative Travel
Get
off the beaten track, mix with the locals, support travel options that are
respectful to the environment and the people.
If you find yourself wanting to venture outside the classic resort
vacation, these trips may fuel your fantasies.
Adventure Planet offers a new perspective on the enormously popular adventure travel theme. Jump
aboard their "Adventure Bus" and visit out of the way places in a
way many travelers never consider. They have selected their journeys "for
the mystery and intrigue of the people and their way of life, the beauty
of the land, the history, cuisine, diverse religions and the ones (this is
you) that we hope will be interested in joining us in the experience."
Adventure E Portal has compiled a great
list of environmentally friendly guidelines to help you plan your eco-travels.
The site also offers a diverse set of adventure vacations based in India.
EarthWise Journeys is committed to providing alternative travel options, from
eco-travel to spiritual journeys. They believe that socially responsible
travel channels dollars back into developing countries, which sustain
the people, their cultural heritage, physical environment and their future.
Onourtravels.com has several alternative travel
and ecotravel groups in countries around the world. If you are looking for a
budget travel or plan on backpacking or trekking in a foreign country to
better understand their culture and customs, we have organized destination
planning for you. Using the resources on our website you can locate budget
trips, find cheap tickets and discount outfitters who will help you save money
for the destination not tickets, gear or airfare. Alternative trips can
sometimes be the most challenging to prepare for the independent traveler
especially if you want to encounter the indigenous peoples or arrange a home
stay. But for the naturalist this type of adventure travel is often the most
rewarding taking them outdoors and off the beaten track on trips that are more
of a sacred journey than a vacation.
