We all take a positive step in the direction of creating happier travellers who also contribute to nature on their trips.

    Role of Malnad travelers

    What is the role of a traveller in responsible tourism? Traveler, is the most important person in this journey. Without your contribution the whole idea of keeping nature as it is not going to be successful. Most travellers are very responsible and they can educate a few of those irresponsible ones who might be littering or doing noise in nature. By doing so, we are going to give our future generation not only a clean environment but a more mature idea of holidaying altogether.

    TravelMalnad.com from its genesis has been promoting nature holiday destinations in Karnataka with more stress on responsible tourism. We have been giving interesting itineraries for our guests to indulge in their vacation and feel blessed by nature. Your trip to nature is not just about a campfire party amidst the coffee estate.

    The idea of rejuvenation is not about sitting for a drink around a campfire at night and argue about things unwanted beyond midnight. We have several ideas for you that will take you to see nature closely and feel blessed by spending time more meaningfully on your vacation.

    Chikmagalur homestays hosts

    Before the launch of an unlimited number of homestays in Chikmagalur, it was a beautiful coffee growing landscape of Karnataka. Only those who had business trips to Chikmagalur visited often apart from the relatives of Chikmangaloreans. Now that we have a boom of tourism in the region we get to see thousands of tourists mostly during the weekends. Many visitors come here to relax amidst nature, go for a walk, do a short trek and head back to Bangalore. Many companies conduct their offsite team building activities in Chikmagalur.

    We at Travel Malnad, offer both family and group holiday packages to our pan India guests.

  • It’s time to slowdown, refresh and reflect in Covid-19 situation

    We are heading to a major slowdown in the economy with the isolation mode. To combat Covid-19 widespread the Indian Government has taken the best method to stride forward. Most of us who have been used to a fast paced lifestyle this becomes a time out for proper rejuvenation. Our life is circled around the ideas of getting prosperous and successful in business & life. In this goals oriented competitive economic battle field most of us even forgotten to breath properly or drink sufficient water in a day. We assume that we are too busy to mind silly things in life. However, nature has remained calm about a lot of foolish theories of human beings. Now that we all are indoors at our homes without burning fuel on the road or doing noise in the towns nature is finally getting some time off to relax as well.

    Since all of us have got a lot of time for ourselves in this situation its best to utilize it in best direction. Dedicate your time for a little introspection daily about your personality. It could have been a reflection for a lot of external conditions but now as you are for yourself you can decide whether those traits were normal. Nature has given us a lot of intuitions to dig deep into our conscience to understand ourselves better. You need not be a philosopher to gain lot of perspectives about of life, work and relationships. You have to be present in the moment with a clear mind that can absorb your ideas of existence and allow you to decide what’s best suitable.

    You are contributing to the social cause of stopping the pandemic from spreading by staying indoors. At the same time, you must also dedicate time to uplift yourself to a new high in thinking. This is the test of time to a lot of companies who have employees work from home. Many would be cribbing about the drop in productivity in the companies whereas a lot of them have shut shop for the time being. If you are remotely contributing to your company, then it’s the best test of integrity and commitment. Give your 100% dedication to your creative work with more commitment. It will not only help your company but as a person it gives you an immense sense of satisfaction.

    The lock-down is not forever; we will be back on the saddle for the race soon. While we are now preparing for the future it is advisable that we do a lot of course corrections. Leaders in the organisations need not spend time about the share value or sales statistics. It is the best time to look at the creative side of the organisation and prepare it for a futuristic approach. Lot of our hospitality partners are facing issues in their business but we have been constantly encouraging them to think positive. With a positive mindset we can win this battle against a virus that caused havoc in the business world. Once the situation gets better and if you find this article somewhere and read it again you will feel it too.

     

  • Spend at least one hour a week silently in nature

    The fast moving world has no time for things as simple as sitting silently or going for a walk in nature. It’s true that they may sound ‘unproductive’ for a lot of people who are busy in their ‘work mode’. Your mind and body deserved to be cared and rejuvenated. The best way to do so is by allotting at least one hour a week to sit silently amidst the nature. You can imbibe a lot of new personality traits if you start accepting the blessings of Mother Nature.

    This is my story I thought of sharing with Travel Malnad team as I could see their honest effort in getting people to explore nature. Nature is not just about forest, water streams, mountains and wilderness. Its beyond expressions that your eyes can behold. Your mind can work differently and can reach new horizons of thinking each day. It done when you are open to the evolving mind to explore new ideas and way of life. Nature is one such phenomenal wonder around us which is helping us evolve on a daily basis.

    We the busy bees working round the clock in the economic battle field have no time for simple things. I am an entrepreneur who do globetrotting for business reasons. I have seen several countries and tried to explore their countryside whenever I’m free from work. However, my tryst with nature at Malnad Karnataka is a new chapter for me. We are having a wonderful landscape of nature in malnad where you have incredible vacation options. You can just take one of your weekend leisure as a trip to Malnad using travelmalnad.com and stay at their recommended homestay or resort. You will sure come back and write your own blog inspired by the magnanimity of nature.

    I have been doing weekend trips almost every month to Malnad region. There are a lot of stays but Travel Malnad is the only portal I found is doing justice for users to give them only nice & hygienic stays at the heart of nature. Of late I also learnt from an industry leader that TravelMalnad.com has been the only place you see regular quality check. It’s very important when you go online for bookings and lured by fake promotions and photo shopped images. The team at Travel Malnad has been meticulously giving its guest the most suitable holiday package without charging any extra fee. The prices of Malnad homestays are offered at much cheaper Tariff than any other portals.

    The stays are shortlisted based on one criteria at Travel Malnad, they should be the best one in its category of listing. No room for shady and bad stays at this portal. You can vouch on their services anytime and book it blindfolded. I have tried several of their stays over a period of time and have noticed they have a reason to be the top portal. The hosts are constantly updated about the industry norms & whoever seeks training the team have trained them free of cost in collaboration with other companies. This enables them to provide fool-proof hospitality services for those who book their trip on TravelMalnad.com. Overall experience I must say as excellent and no doubt you will become their loyal guest for your future trips.

    This blog i was planning to send to Travel Malnad team from a long time. This was in my pending list, now as I work from home or most of my overseas operations have slowed down. I have ample time to reflect on my trips and write this blog. I hope it helps a lot of nature enthusiasts out there to use TravelMalnad.com services in future for their family holidays in nature.

     

    PLEASE NOTE: COVID – 19 Announcement 

    I would like to recommend that you must plan all your Malnad Trips once the Covid – 19 Situation is cleared. You must stay home and stay safe at this point of time.

    Travel Malnad Team urges all its users to kindly stay at home without indulging any meetings or get together. Social distancing is the best precautions you all can take. Never underestimate the fierceness of the virus and venture outdoor.

    You have to postpone all your trips for future. I wrote this blog as I am in isolation mode like many of you out there.

    There is time in the future for all the travel, holiday and fun.

  • Nature is our best teacher and well-wisher – Perspective about Covid-19 Situation

    We all have been worried about the pandemic Covid-19 virus that has brought everything to a halt. If we have looked at this situation as only a financial loss and loss of lives, we are wrong. This has been a most awaited pause nature was begging all of us from several years. We had always taken nature for granted and have been its destroying its delicate fabrics in the name of ‘prosperity’ and ‘development’. All countries were busy in the rat race and it has come to an uncertain pause. This is high time to reflect on a lot of things and fix it responsibly.

    This pause mode is nothing but a time off that nature needs to recover from a lot of damages caused by human beings. The urban population have started noticing the changes that nature has brought them during this lock-down. Reports from different parts of the globe including Indian cities have noted that its different. The sky is clear, birds are chirping and ducks are swimming in the water, butterflies are in merry. We have been occupying their space for so long and polluted it with smoke and noise.

    Many of us sitting at home are blaming the slowdown, cribbing about the stock exchange, economy, growth rate, GDP… How many of us had time to think about the damages we were doing to nature in the name of development? Have ever voluntarily gone out to stop an unnecessary felling of trees by local authorities? Have we thought of rejuvenating the lakes or rivers in our region? We always consider nature as an abundant resource for human beings. Which not true and this can be an eye opener for a lot of people who have been negligent about their surroundings.

    We can take this opportunity to reflect on ourselves about how we are handling natural resources with responsibility. We can easily blame government, authorities, communities… how can we change our individual behaviour about nature is the crux of the situation. Nature has thrust this situation on us to test us how we can learn and evolve matured. Our materialistic frenzy must take a back foot and do things more responsibly in coming days.

     

  • The real custodians of nature guarding the resources since generations

    Travel Malnad Team took this topic for discussion couple of months ago. We are most concerned about conserving nature today in the wake of booming tourism in Malnad region. We were visiting places and speaking to locals at different levels to gather information. One of our founders at TravelMalnad.com is from Malnad region whose forefathers lived amidst deep forests in the age when there was no electricity or mobile phones. Imagine you being the lone house of a village, yes, Malnad villages were like a single house village. There were no roads or vehicles to commute to the cities. Adventure tourists of this generation call it “wilderness”. But Malnad people have lived in wilderness just like you live in a gated community or an apartment.

    We were talking to a lot of local groups in Malnad region. One thing we all have to acknowledge is without them a large portion of Malnad forests would have been disappeared today for timber mafia and forest fires. Whenever there is a small spark of fire in the forest, it is the local villagers who run to the mountains and dose it off. No, it’s not the forest officials or fire extinguishers that rush to the spot. We will tell you why? Local villagers who have lived in the forests of Malnad have considered nature as a God. They feel sad when they find any destruction takes place in the forest of their village. They voluntarily guard a lot of forest areas from tree felling mafia. Yet, these locals are brandished as ‘encroachers’ of forest land and the departments trouble them to vacate.

    Government should know the facts before creating laws that can affect not just people but ultimately to the forest land itself. Imagine people vacate the forest edges, very soon the trees will start disappearing in the hands of timber mafia. Those who live in nature will never destroy it. They know the value of preserving forests and planting more trees on a regular basis. We are not condemning the forest department either, the staff work round the clock doing the beats and fencing the forest. However, without the local population it would be difficult for any department to fully protect forest lands on its own.

    Coming to the tourism activities in Malnad Region. Yes, there is an increase in tourist numbers compare to last 5 years. Lot of travellers are doing responsible tourism. We are not denying that there are incidences where people litter or create noise in the nature. It’s a collective responsibility of tourists, hosts, hoteliers, general public and government authorities to curb these mischievous activities in nature. We have been lucky to have Malenadu region which is rich with forest and agriculture lands. Let’s not take it for granted that in the name of ‘having fun’ we exploit natural resources. We also request homestay, resort and hotel business owners to create awareness to your guests at all times. Nature is for everyone, for all generations to come, so we tread carefully while we develop sites or do constructions without damaging scientific components of nature. Together we can safeguard nature from any external damages. Our next generation should thank us for the protective measures we take for protecting nature.

  • Summer vacation green destinations of Malnad Karnataka

    Travelling amidst a green destination will certainly create happy memories for travelers to cherish. When you visit nature with an open mind then a rejuvenating factor will be bestowed upon you. You can expect all wonderful things in nature that Mother Earth has created for human beings. If you closely observe nature, simple blossom of flower to the deadly volcanic eruptions on earth are like great miracles. Many poets and writers in India have surrendered themselves to the power of nature and have created thousands of literature inspired by it. They have celebrated the positive spirits of nature through their artistic creations. Several painters, craftsmen, artists and musicians are also inspired by nature.

    The prelude is written briefly about nature before coming to the topic because our current generation is living in concrete jungles. The definition of prosperity & success has changes course from being naturalistic to materialistic lifestyle. Cities have become epicentres of creating machine like routines for human beings. You log in and log out of office like a strictly monitored robot. We are cocooned in 24×7 air-conditioned homes and offices. Our children have no spaces in cities to spend safe evenings playing in the midst of nature. We have artificial nature create around our apartments and gated communities. Our future generations might have to study nature only in books.
