Eco-Toursim is tourism directed towards exotic natural environments, intended to support conservation efforts and observe wildlife. It is about uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. This means that those who implement, participate in and market ecotourism activities should adopt the following ecotourism principles: Minimize physical, social, behavioral, and psychological impacts.
How Chairperson J.P. Maithani got into Eco-Tourism?
After completing my masters in Mass Communication from Garhwal University, I wanted to start my own enterprise and started an Eco-Tourism based activity in Pipalkoti in 1999 as I was always interested in mountaineering and trekking from childhood. I got my basic training in mountaineering and trekking from National Adventure Foundation, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
