The site is forested and located at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. These I hope you will love the image of MS Dhoni. The site is located in a mountainous nature reserve and the forest location had little sun and so we could not use any solar panels, which was a bummer! Simply put, ecotourism is the ‘Jainism’ of the leisure industry.The other principles of Jainism are Satya, which is speaking truth and avoiding falsehood; Asteya, to not steal from others; and Aparigraha, which is about detaching from people, places and material things, and avoiding the collection of excessive material possessions, abstaining from over-indulgence, and restricting one’s needs.Even though I do not consider myself a Jain, I do practice Satya and Asteya but have found it difficult to practice Aparigraha!
One of the main purposes of this long term plan was to demonstrate how tourism can help alleviate livelihoods of local people.

It is this realization that makes ecotourism planning progressive in its approach to design. It is planning in areas of civil unrest, deadly diseases, war, political instability; in severe weather conditions – monsoons, sub-freezing, desert; planning that helps conserve the last remaining endangered floral and faunal species; that helps protect indigenous cultures, languages and sacred landscapes and that helps raise living standards for impoverished local peoples.Another inspiring yet challenging project was the Crosswaters Ecolodge in Guangdong Province, in the mountains of Southern China. I am thankful that I was born a Jain.My spiritual upbringing has greatly shaped the way I carry out research, analysis and plan destinations. In frame : @hitechy . Do unto others what I would expect them to do unto me.
Ecolodges are designed to protect the natural environment and support their communities and I see this approach as spiritual.There was so little rainfall in the desert that it truly was a challenge to figure out how we were going to ensure regular water supply for ecolodge guests.
There is a tendency for people to take their built environment and urban spaces for granted, not realizing that it is the environment that makes people.

You are now a ETimes is an Entertainment, TV & Lifestyle industry's promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising. There is only one copy of each so each image is totally unique. The site for the ecolodge was an already disturbed site. My goal is to attain nirvana without having to sit under the Bodhi tree and go from house to house begging for food as the gurus in India do.My projects are those that provide guests a spiritual union with nature and culture.
