Roll Out The Green Carpet For Northeast India

Greencamp.in is an eco-friendly travel website that introduces you to stunning landscapes that remain forgotten and tucked away in India's East and Northeast
Kerala is God's own country, Rajasthan is the land of forts, palaces and kings, Goa has its beaches and Madhya Pradesh, its forests.

So, when it comes to planning a holiday most head to these travel magazine-feted destinations. But how many of us look towards the East or Northeast to plan a vacation?

For the intrepid traveller, India's East and the North East offer treasures waiting to be explored. To make things easier and accessible is the information packed portal, greencamp.in.

Specialising in eco-tourism, the portal offers surfers and potential travellers a bird's eye view of some of the most exciting terrains in the country.

Set up by four ecologically aware people, GreenCamp.in was launched as Green Camp in 2007 as an organisation focused on creating eco-tour packages in East and North East India.

The website was initiated in 2009.It has three  sections: Explore, Discover and Resource.
The Explore section is split into East India, North East India and Outside India.

This section offers a range of fascinating stories about the landscape and culture. For instance, there is a story about the forgotten Ledo Road, which is a historic highway that starts from India, runs though Burma (Myanmar) and ends in China; there's another piece about the Bauls of Bengal and Eight of the Wildest lakes in North East India.

All the stories are enhanced with exquisite photographs. The Discover section offers information on eco-friendly tour packages and these are as diverse as cultural tours that highlight Melas like the Pous Mela in Santiniketan or adventure tours that focus on treks or offer information on helicopter rides over the Himalayas.

The stories are offbeat and there are relevant yet quirky facts. The website is lacks of clutter. However, it would help if the portal categorised the information in a more organised manner, making it easier for surfers to find what they were looking for.
