VANA means “forest” in Sanskrit. In order to fulfil the vision behind our company name, we plant and protect a sapling for each guest that travels to India with us. We believe that culture is a gift from the forest, and that reforestation of barren land is a social responsibility. Unless we reforest our lands and save it for our future generations we can achieve little from the tours and travels that we so lovingly create for you. If you would like to join us during our plantation drives, please let us know in advance.
WE FIRMLY BELIVE THAT THE BEST FORM OF GIVING BACK IS REFORESTATION AND SAVING HABITATS FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
