Your journey not only enriches your life but also uplifts the communities we connect with. Get ready to leave a lasting legacy with us!

STAYS

By opting for these smaller establishments, we not only enhance the authenticity of our travel experiences but also contribute directly to the livelihoods of local communities.

TRANSPORT

We’re firm believers in giving back, which is why we’ve structured our tours to directly benefit local communities by utilizing their modes of transportation, such as tuk-tuks, paddle rickshaws, and other locally owned vehicles. This not only supports the livelihoods of local drivers but also fosters authentic cultural experiences for our travelers.

LOCAL PROJECTS

Promoting local projects has always been at the heart of our mission, and our commitment to ethical tourism continually fuels our drive to do more for these initiatives. We’re dedicated to supporting these projects by providing opportunities and resources, amplifying their impact and helping them thrive.

ETHICAL SUPPLIERS

In every corner of the world we venture into, our goal remains consistent: to forge partnerships with businesses and organizations that share our dedication to environmental conservation and the nurturing of local ecosystems.

PLASTIC FREE PLANET

Our aversion to plastic is undeniable. We’ve dedicated significant resources to cutting plastic use on our trips, showing our commitment through concrete actions. In places like India and Nepal, we’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our tours are plastic-free. By collaborating with suppliers, we’ve phased out plastic and introduced refill stations, paving the way for a more sustainable travel experience.

SEEDS OF GREENERY

We stand behind reforestation efforts alongside organizations dedicated to replenishing our planet’s greenery for a healthier environment. For every review and feedback you provide, we pledge to plant a tree in your honor within the communities you’ve toured. We ensure transparency by regularly updating you on the growth of the tree planted in your name, and you’ll even have a personalized name tag adorning your tree. Together, we’re making a tangible impact on the environment, one tree at a time.

Wildlife Warriors

Ethical Travel

Ethical animal treatment in tourism is at the heart of what we do! We team up with top-notch suppliers who follow strict animal welfare standards. No cruelty here! We also proudly back cool initiatives like the Wildlife SOS Program, giving rescued elephants and sloth bears a happy, safe haven to thrive.

Advocating for Animal Sanctuaries and Refuges

We guide travelers to genuine animal sanctuaries and rescue organizations that prioritize the well-being of animals over profits. Witness the incredible care and dedication these places offer, providing safe havens for animals to thrive. It’s not just a trip; it’s a chance to connect with nature, support ethical practices, and make a real difference in the lives of animals.

Wildlife Conservation Excursions

Our tours are not just about exploration; they’re enlightening journeys. We blend thrilling experiences with vital lessons on wildlife conservation and habitat preservation. Dive into immersive ecosystem lessons, and ignite a sense of responsibility for our planet’s wildlife and habitats.

We loved that all our guides were locals with personal connections to the cities we visited. Their insights and stories added so much depth to our journey. It was incredibly convenient that all entrance fees and tickets were included in the package. Not having to wait in queues saved us a lot of valuable time. Unlike previous tours where hidden costs piled up, we appreciated your transparent approach. The upfront pricing made budgeting much easier for us. The itinerary struck a perfect balance between popular tourist cities and quieter, more serene places, allowing us to experience both sides of India.The accommodations were exceptional, especially the heritage hotels which offered a unique charm and character that we preferred over Western-style hotels. A special mention goes to our driver, Mr. Neghi. His friendly demeanor, openness, and exceptional care made our journeys safe and enjoyable. We truly felt at ease with him behind the wheel.We will definitely miss the delicious Indian food! It was a culinary delight at every meal.

As an older traveler, I was initially apprehensive about embarking on such an extensive trip. However, from the moment I booked with Travel Empowers, all my worries were put to rest. The entire team, especially our tour leader Nishi, went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the trip was perfect.

Nishi’s warmth, knowledge, and attentiveness made the journey truly special. She was always there to assist, answer questions, and share fascinating insights about the rich cultures and histories of both India and Nepal. Her passion and enthusiasm were contagious, making every moment of the trip enjoyable and enriching.
The highlights of India, from the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal to the vibrant streets of Jaipur, were beyond my wildest dreams. In Nepal, the serene beauty of the landscapes and the spiritual atmosphere of places like Boudhanath Stupa left a profound impact on me. Each destination was thoughtfully chosen and offered unique experiences that I will cherish forever.
The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, providing the perfect blend of luxury and local charm. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing for both exploration and relaxation, which was particularly appreciated given my age.
