Deccan Dreams, part of Pyramid Holiday Tours Pvt Ltd, in India’s State of Karnataka, has launched an Eo-Conservation and Nature Tourism programme aimed at preserving local customs and traditions and protecting wildlife sanctuaries.
The State of Karnataka has one of the most sensitive and diverse tropical forest cover and through education and conservation projects funded by incoming tourism, the tour operator and local eco-development committees in the villages will provide much valuable help.
UK visitors travelling with Deccan Dreams will learn about the Tiger Conservation project undertaken by the Department of Forest and Environment in the State of Karnataka and other vital work being carried out to protect the wildlife. AS the leading tour operator in the State, Pyramid Tours offers a unique ‘hands on’ learning experience to nature enthusiasts with a choice of conservation activities in Karnataka’s Tiger Reserves where a number of inspiring programmes are currently underway to help preserve and protect this vulnerable species for future generations. These tours are of great interest to a range of age groups and clubs with wildlife conservation concerns and offer an excellent opportunity to experience nature conservation projects in Tiger habitats at first-hand.

As well as learning about and participating in wildlife conservation, visitors travelling with Deccan Dreams can observe and help preserve local heritage and handicrafts. By visiting local communities guests can participate in folk festivals, appreciate the skills involved in woodcarving, metal filigree work, stone carving, pottery, wicker and lacquer work, hand-loom weaving and regional cuisine.
Other tours offer visitors the chance to visit elephant sanctuaries, learning about their behaviour and interacting with these wonderful creatures at feeding times and joining in the fun of elephant baths in the river!
Karnataka, India’s hi-tech state, is aiming for a significant increase in British visitors in 2010. With an almost undeveloped coastline between Goa and Kerala there is so much to see and do: The Western Ghats Mountain Range with a number of wildlife reserves; ancient temples; the palaces of Mysore; fascinating heritage sites and welcoming and hospitable people. Bangalore, is a major hub for international and domestic flights, as well as rail and road connections to the neighbouring states of Kerala, Goa, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Deccan Dreams – Four State Of Mind are specialist tours catering for four different holiday styles: temples and historic sites; nature wildlife & ecology; art, culture & history; and rest, rejuvenation & therapy. Tours are by coach lasting from 8 - 21 days.
Specialist UK tour operator Avion Holidays features these tours in its Eastern Shores brochure and offers a wide range of tailor-made options.
