Our History

After leading rural and adventure tours for more than twenty years and observing the big change in lifestyles, footpaths converted into big roads and handicraft disappearing into branded plastic and machine made products. Seeing natural trees trimmed, tree stump and ground covered with paving or concrete, while all tree leaves taken away from above its roots, made us think. Hearing stories from elderly people about sustainability and modern generation loosing respect for nature and trees, inspired me to write these stories and finally pushed me to write a book-"The Himalayan Bond" after the confusion at the Copenhagen summit in 2009. After that author have spoken in many schools and events to inspire tree plantation projects.

‍The first plantation we did was in 2012 with a school Newark Academy School from New Jersey, USA in the rural village near Shimla in the Indian Himalayas.

Since 2012, Puran has encouraged many schools and travellers to have a plantation and community task included in their itinerary to make a positive change for people and the environment.

All our guests highly enjoy this and feel enriched with the experience. Puran took part in Global Clean Air Centre workshop and air quality monitoring project at the Surrey University with GCARE , which opens the eyes and provided the right inspiration and scientific approach for the old idea, trees for life and he started: "A Tree for Clean air."

‍In 2019 Expedition Leaders managed to plant over 300 trees in Rural villages of Himachal and Eastern Rajasthan.
