The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people."

Rahul Bhusari (Class of 2001) decided to build a business out of it with a group of friends. Foliage Outdoors was thus born.

Young and old professionals having an increasing stressful urban lifestyles, may find this a welcome getaway to more natural surroundings. Ecotourism could be a promising business enterprise, given the economic boom in India and increasing spending power of the middle class.

Among the various services offered by Foliage Outdoors,  Outdoor Management Development (OMD) programmes for Corporates may be a great way to organize your companies' offsite get-togethers.

For the more adventure minded, there is white water rafting, scuba diving, skiing, trekking etc. Or you may want to "explore less trodden paths in some of the most beautiful parts of the country" via Eco-tours.

Tours to India 's premier wildlife sanctuaries provide a chance to view exotic wild animals like the Tiger in their natural habitat. You may want to share this exciting experience in the company of your family or friends.

Finally, if you don't want to plan an elaborate vacation, Foliage Outdoors offers quick local getaways in Maharashtra  at attractively priced packages.
