All our staff are carefully chosen (90% Nepalese – 10% international) for their diverse range of talents, excellent inter-personal skills and commitment-loyalty to the local customs, people and environment of Nepal. Clients are reminded to only support community projects that, in their judgment, will have a positive ecological, social and/or cultural impact. We operate to promote environmental awareness and an appreciation of the wealth and fragility of Nepal's natural resources through sound ecological, conservation and preservation practices.
Nepal, for all its massive mountain peaks and impressive geography, is actually an incredibly fragile environment. We feel an increased responsibility to protect and preserve these wild places. Not only do we leave every campsite cleaner than when we've arrived, we've taken steps to protect Nepal's rivers and the people who live along them including founding the Nepal River Conservation Trust (NRCT). With this in mind our policy is for minimal disturbance of any physical, social, political or cultural environment visited. We ask that visitors do not intentionally disturb any natural/domestic fauna and flora or their natural habitat and we adopt a zero tolerance attitude to littering.
The park and the local people jointly initiate community development activities and manage natural resources in the neighboring area. 30-50 percent of the national park’s revenue is ploughed back into the local community. Flora and Fauna are fully protected and must not be disturbed. Visitors are asked to respect religious and cultural sites. Littering is prohibited. The lodge is a PATA Green Leaf member. Their commitment towards conservation and bio-diversity is deep-rooted, giving them the ability to take informed measures to preserve the surroundings for future generations. Environmentally conscious practices and the use of local resources is promoted and encouraged.
We request that clients abide by any customs and respect the cultural activities of any groups they may have contact with.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
