Save environment and wildlife

We are nature lovers and it pains us to know that forests are being destroyed at a staggering rate and hundreds of species of flora and fauna are becoming extinct, lost forever. So the theme for our TGDC trip was easy to decide – Save environment, save wild life. The trip will serve two purposes – a) have fun being with nature, driving the cool Mitsubishi Cedia b) campaign for causes close to our heart.

The theme decided, we next had to think about the route. Since Mumbai had to be our starting and ending point, and we had to do 3000Km, the forests and national parks of Madhya Pradesh were our best choice.

Some of the wildlife sanctuaries and national parks we plan to cover are: Bandhavgarh (famous natural hub for white tigers), Kanha (inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Book”, this park saved the swamp deer from extinction), Yawal (Suki lake here attracts a large number of migratory birds), Pench (4 species of endangered vultures are found her ein large numbers), Satpura (1427 sq Km of unique ecosystem – beautiful and unspoiled).

24 hours of a day would be split into 8 hours of driving, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of sight-seeing and personal time. We plan to do some trekking and safaris wherever possible. We will also interact with the locals wherever we go and try to promote our cause. Banners for our cause will also be put up on our Mitsubishi Cedia. We will keep you all up-to-date on our exciting trip via blogs, messages and tweets, so you can be with us every kilometer of our exciting journey!!
