Let's Ecoplore!

I wish to Thank God for showering me, with so much love.   My parents Jyotsna Singh and Raj Kishore Prasad are the best gift I have got. They went beyond their capacity to nurture us. Our mom and dad fulfilled all our wishes by killing even their smallest desires. The picture of the day when my mom took a loan of Rs 5000 from her colleague to buy me a camera for my Journalism will always be there in front of my eyes. I never saw her buying a single saari for herself. She was contented with whatever she got from others.   Our parents taught us to take our own decisions and always stood by us in whatever we did.   When my family wanted me to get married, God sent an angel in the form of Ankit who is my shoulder in times of pain and pleasure. The best thing about Ankit is that he has shown full trust in me and has given me complete freedom to lead my life the way I want. Getting a husband who respects and values your passion is rare to find, at least in...

While doing extensive research for ecoplore.com, I came across a website called ecobnb.com which was almost similar to the vision of Ecoplore.   Ecobnb is an Italy based website, supported by European Union that promotes and books eco-friendly accommodations. As I scanned through the webpages of ecobnb, the pictures of the green hotels seemed tempting. I wish to visit them someday. I think anyone and everyone would get enticed by those lovely pictures. So ecobnb.com is the closest existing website that represents the dream of ecoplore.com . When I first saw ecobnb.com almost, after a year after conceptualising Ecoplore, I was surprised to see how someone else was doing exactly the same thing that we are trying to do. Hence, we mentioned ecobnb.com as our competitor in all our presentations and other documentation.   During my visit to Auroville in Tamil Nadu, India, I met a South American guy named ‘Ernesto’. As, we shared each other’s dreams,...

All of us love to go on holidays. It is important for us to get away from the hectic city life to rejuvenate ourselves.  On a holiday you would normally stay at a hotel, have breakfast, hire a taxi and go for sightseeing at a tourist destination full of other travellers. Those two days of hard earned leave, you had taken to relax and have some peace also goes waste into crowd, noise and pollution, this time not in your city but at the tourist destination.  Ecoplore comes with a breathe of fresh air…. All the eco-stays provided by Ecoplore are located in exotic locations. They are a bit far from the main town of the tourist destination. There is no crowd, no pollution and of course no honking cars. You are provided with all the three meals, morning and evening tea and snacks and a lot of activities. These activities could be trekking, water surfing, river crossing, ladder climbing, mountain biking, rappelling, rock climbing and many others depending on the location. The...
