Development and Promotion of Suistainable Tourism

Spirtual Tourism In India

Countless temples and sacred destinations of Bharat embody the true “Power in Temples” — a living testimony that makes our nation the spiritual hub of the world.
From the Himalayas to Kanyakumari, each shrine radiates timeless energy that connects the seeker to divinity through devotion and discipline. These sacred sites are not merely architectural wonders; they are living centers of consciousness, where the vibrations of prayer and the fragrance of faith have continued for thousands of years.

Among the most revered are the Chardham shrines of Uttarakhand — Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri, and the Nilkanth Mahadev Temple near Rishikesh, where Lord Shiva is worshipped as the eternal yogi. Together, these spots echo Nature’s ageless call to human consciousness — to rise, to realize, and to serve.

Health Tourism In India

Health tourism in India thrives through the perfect harmony of modern medicine and traditional Indian systems—especially Ayurveda, Yoga, and Siddha. Rooted in holistic philosophy, India’s healing heritage views health not as the absence of illness but as a state of complete harmony between body, mind, and soul.

Ayurveda, the ancient “Science of Life,” restores balance through herbal remedies, Panchakarma therapies, and personalized nutrition. Kerala, a cradle of authentic Ayurveda, remains a global destination for rejuvenation and preventive healing. Integrating physical postures, breath control, and meditation, the Yogic system draws seekers worldwide to Rishikesh — the Yoga Capital of the World. The Siddha system of Tamil Nadu, among the oldest healing sciences, continues to uphold the sacred knowledge of herbs and minerals.

Amrithagiri Wellness Empowerment (AWE) Pvt. Ltd., Karnataka — a subsidiary of Amrithagiri Himalaya — envisions a holistically healthy and empowered society. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being, and SDG 2 – Nutrition for All), AWE promotes preventive healthcare, holistic wellness, and mindful living through research, training, and community initiatives.

Eco-Tourism In India

Eco-tourism in India represents a conscious movement towards responsible travel, ensuring that exploration nurtures both the visitor and the environment. It emphasizes journeys that cause no harm to nature, safeguard the health of travellers, and create direct benefits for local communities. Eco-tourism harmonizes adventure with awareness, learning with sustainability, and recreation with reverence.

Amrithagiri Eco Life (AEL) – Kerala’s Living Laboratory of Sustainability

At the heart of India’s eco-tourism movement stands Amrithagiri Eco Life (AEL) in Kerala — a certified organic farm and experiential learning center that blends traditional wisdom with modern ecological practices. AEL serves as both a model farm and a living classroom, where visitors, students, and global travellers learn the art of organic farming, natural medicine preparation, and holistic living under the guidance of expert practitioners.

Cultural Tourism In India

AH in collaboration with ARSHA Trust and its associate institutions, actively promotes Cultural Tourism in India as a bridge that links heritage. As a registered NGO, Amrithagiri supports and contributes to the national schemes of the Government of India aimed at promoting cultural tourism — including initiatives aligned with Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, Swadesh Darshan, and the Incredible India Mission.

Through its network, Amrithagiri assists tourists, seekers, and researchers in exploring India’s diverse spiritual and cultural landscapes. The organization provides guidance, research-based tours, and field-learning opportunities, ensuring that travellers experience India not merely as visitors but as participants in a living civilization.

Amrithagiri extends an open invitation to global scholars and cultural enthusiasts to experience India’s timeless culture through direct engagement, study, and participation in traditional communities and rituals.

Farm Tourism In India​

Farm tourism offers a meaningful bridge between urban visitors and rural life, allowing people to connect directly with the land, farmers, and the rhythm of nature. It goes beyond leisure — creating awareness about sustainable agriculture, the importance of natural food systems, and the dignity of the farming community.

Visitors engaging in farm tourism can participate in agricultural activities such as sowing, irrigation, harvesting, composting, and seed preservation, gaining hands-on knowledge of how food is cultivated with care and ecological balance. Learning about organic and traditional farming techniques provides deep insight into eco-friendly cultivation, biodiversity protection, and the value of chemical-free produce for human health and the environment.
