Step Lightly

Mandala Adventures honors both nature and culture in our environmental commitment. This dedication extends not only to the lands through which we travel, but to the people with whom we mingle. For instance, Mandala Adventures has always advocated small group travel that treads lightly on the land and respects indigenous cultures.

Will I get to meet the local people?

ist2_8116555-group-of-tibetan-children-buddhist-monksAlong the way, you will encounter shop and restaurant owners, traders, porters, farmers,  schoolteachers, and curious children. Some will speak English -- others will not.  But their desire to interact is often as strong as yours, resulting in creative efforts at communication.  Many people bring Polaroid or digital cameras; others bring photos of home, family and friends or a collection of postcards from their home state.  These make particularly good points of contact with both adults and children.
