We organize GeoTours to promote Geotourism under the guidance of experienced experts who take you back in time by showing insitu fossils and also help better understand the process of fossilization stratigraphy and structural evolution of various landscapes.
They also help p in reconstructing the events which led to the closure of Tethys sea and understanding the birth of Himalayas.
