Welcome to the beautiful Lake City of Udaipur !

Thank you for coming to our wonderful, culturally strong and historic city. It is a one-of-a-kind place in India, and we are HAPPY to have you here!

A few international friends and local citizens, who are part of the Shikshantar movement put together this Greenleaf Ratings system, in collaboration with the Lonely Planet guidebook. We hope it will assist you in making good choices about eco-friendly, zero waste and responsible tourism hotel practices in Udaipur. We know you are here for a short time, so we appreciate your consideration for nature, local people, our city, and yourself.

We put together this booklet between March and April 2008. Things, of course, can and will change, and so we would love your cooperation to help us to keep these ratings up-to-date for future travelers. If you see that something IS or IS NOT happening in a hotel, please give us a call – (0294) 245-1303 or send us an email – shikshantar@yahoo.com – so we can update our on-line and our paper editions.

We also created the Greenleaf Ratings system so that you could dialogue with your hotel manager and staff about what kinds of eco-initiatives you would like to see happen. Everyone has scope for improvement, and your requests and demands will help to make a change! Here is also a tip-sheet for responsible tourism. Please have a look, use it in your travels everywhere, and share it with your fellow ttravelers. Every little step you can take will make a positive difference.

Please feel free to contact us at Shikshantar <shikshantar@yahoo.com> with any questions and concerns. Thank you for caring about our city and about the health of our planet and people. We are grateful and honored to have you as a partner!
