a pal of mine recently fell for a real scam involving an indian meateater ..she never knew he ate meat till she was on the holiday,,,offering a vegan himalayan holiday...then she was told by the host of the alleged tour that she must pick out egg from her bowl of rice in a cafe,,,, :mad: :( :eek: and to cap it all, the host actually keeps chickens and serves them to his guests too...and charges astronomical rates for dire accommodation too...beware folks!!!
Do you know the name of the company? Or was it a friend who wasnt really a friend at all?
no its a company..ive been warned of legal action if i decry them publicly!!..just if anyone touts you for a vegan himalayan holiday, do check it out with me on here can you??thanks,,the holiday is indian based,,,regards from friend :( :)
Thanks for the info ;)Quote:

Legal action :mad: that is uncalled for, if they have done wrong they should expect to be critized and exposed as frauds
i agree with Puffin..Quote:

Oooohhhh just heard about this today and remembered seeing a thread by this title, yep just the same as what Friend has said, are people trying to capitalise on the vegan market really?
kevster, where did you hear of this wretched holiday offer? i am intrigued, as i will have to do my utmost to prevent folk from going on the holiday, as its an all_in, all out, singin and dancin, father and mother of a fraud!!..ahimsa...friend :) :p :D :cool: :confused: :o
A friend of a friend who went...
the very worst of it all is that a key member of birmingham vegan society is behind sending vegans to india to be hoodwinked by these fraudsters,,,,shame on her head
summer is on its way. With it will come a certain advert from Birmingham Society advertising the alleged vegan Himalayan holiday yet again. Dont take up the offer. Its overpriced at 210 quid a week, the Chopra house accommodation is the filthiest i have ever seen, they ate meat immediately i arrived in Amritsar, he encouraged me to eat eggs and cheese too.(the leader of the holiday did)..Enough said.:( :p
Sounds lovely!!!:eek: What is the Birmingham Society?
How terrible! One would feel so powerless to arrive in a strange place, believing things to be one way only to find that they were completely different :eek: I can't afford a holiday right now and I am in school anyway but thanks for the heads-up ;)Quote:
friend
shoulda said Birmingham Vegan Society..or one representative thereof...who will stay nameless
That's just f*cked up!
go to birmingham vegans website,,,they tout the hol there
Why don't you contact the vegan society and tell them?
I feel they are just capitalising on the word vegan and making some fast bucks. Though they use the word vegan, they offer non-vegan things. I too was mislead from their title but their website exposed them.

Hi,
What is the website you have looked at - i'd like to see what they say too.
Interestingly, i just checked out Birmingham Vegans website, at www.bvv.org.uk. No mention of this holiday any longer. This is very good news.
Sorry, I do not remember the website address. I couldn't get also. When I was surfing some vegan/vegetarian sites, this vegan himalayan holiday advertisement popped up. I clicked and gone through. When I found that it was a hoax and not a real vegan holiday, I discarded it. Never tried to visit again. Now I searched for it almost everywhere. But in vain. Sorry.
Regards,
Shankar Narayan.
