Taj group of Hotels in Nilgiris made environment day special to tourists by gifting to them tree saplings.

“We had specially procured these saplings keeping visitors’ place in mind and motivated them to care for growth of these trees back at home.  We also gave useful horticulture tips for their growth”, R Muralidharan, General Manager, Taj Gateway Hotel, Coonoor, told me. 

“This has made our visit to Nilgiris memorable.   I will grow this sapling with lot of care as it will remind me the litter-free, green lawns and colourful flowers which enhance the hotel’s ambience where we stayed”, Maya Kunnath, corporate lawyer from Bengaluru, said.

Earlier, Muralidharan led his staff for a clean-up drive in Lamb’s Rock, popular picnic spot, as also the Figure-of-eight Road.
