Preferred Hotels-owned Beyond Green, a global portfolio of
sustainable hotels, resorts and lodges, has launched four Plan Your Trip
itineraries.
The all-inclusive trips have been designed with Nomadic Expeditions
and will include Mongolia, Bhutan, Nepal, and India as the host
destinations.
Beyond Green says each journey is designed to have a positive impact
on nature, “uplift local communities and preserve cultural heritage.”
The four journeys are:
