Dear Readers,
Needless to mention that the need of the hour is to control the ever increasing global warming that threatens to destroy not only the whole human race but the whole planet and the world is doing its best to slow down this dangerous climate change. The travel industry is also not lagging behind in this global effort to prevent massive damage to this beautiful planet. The travel industry is doing its best.... be it eco friendly hotels, bio fuels used in transportation or the corporate social responsibilities carried out by the corporates. In this case, I am happy to acknowledge the efforts of a few great cities in the world. The growth should be in tune with the nature, because the human and nature are interconnected. Thus, we bring you travel tales from Amsterdam, one of the most bicycle-friendly large cities in the world. A whole new bicycle culture has evolved centering the city offering good facilities for cyclists like bike tracks all around Amsterdam. Many tourists discover Amsterdam by bike, which is the typical Dutch way. But, Amsterdam is definitely not the only city to explore by cycles, the number is increasing gradually. So, as a concerned tourist, embrace this great pleasure of decoding a city the safest way. This saves fuel, money and of course the environment! Be it the hippy streets of Himalayan abode Kathmandu, the old alleys of the romantic Dublin or the green tracks running alone the snow capped mountains in Switzerland! Exploring them the eco-friendly way will definitely be a different experience. The only concern should be time. But, when on a holiday who cares for time? Devour our takes on some other great places like Norway, Dubai and New Zealand and to go with our recommendation on eco friendly travel we have included some of the famous world festivals in this issue. They are big and truly memorable. So go grab the pedals and explore. We can surely prove that the magnificence of mountains and the serenity of nature are not always threatened by the idiot called Human.
Happy Travelling
