Welcome to The Climate Network! In today’s episode, we’re going off the beaten path—literally and figuratively—as we explore the intersection of travel, sustainability, and conservation. Our guest, Mr Pradeep Murthy, has donned many hats over the years. An IIM B alumnus, he is a sustainable travel expert who has spent years crafting experiences through MuddyBoots Vacations that don’t just delight travelers, but also give back to the planet.

From transforming how we perceive tourism to integrating sustainable community engagements into travel models, Pradeep shares insights on how we can explore the world responsibly—without leaving a trail of destruction behind. We talk about how ecotourism can be a powerful tool for environmental and cultural preservation, and what it means to be a truly conscious traveler in today’s climate-challenged world.

Whether you’re a weekend wanderer or a travel enthusiast, this episode is packed with thoughtful reflections and practical steps on how to tread lightly and travel better.
