How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We actively engage in environmentally responsible practices like keeping the group size as minimum as possible, use of eco-friendly toilets etc. This helps to minimize tourist impact upon the local habitat.
The clients are updated with the effective information so as to help them to identify and implement valuable ways to positively protect local nature and communities. The example could be use of biodegradable soaps or re-usable water containers. This philosophy is abided by each and thence can be passed on and abided by all, even after the trip has ended.
To reduce the effect on environment, the major travel from Delhi to Manali is done by public transport thereby reducing the congestion.
Community
This trip travels beyond Leh and to the areas where tourism is less established and the population is inhabited. By hiring porters from remote regions and working with local restaurants and other suppliers, we are contributing to the growth of local economy.
To increase the employment opportunities long term, we do employ and train local guides, drivers and assistants on all our trips. This ensures that the local community is benefited and more people are employed. We always promote cross cultural communication and also educate the clients about the local communities. It is achieved by limiting tour group sizes, and which in turn will also help in minimizing any social and environmental impact.
It is always taken in to account that where and whenever possible our tours should unquestionably benefit the local community. We eat locally grown and cooked food, supporting restaurants/small eat outs enroute while at the same time providing guests with the freshest, most authentic tastes of the region.
The camps in Serchu are owned locally. The camp name is “Himalayan Saga”. These are eco-friendly camps and do not have electricity. The camps used in Pangong are also Eco-friendly. Martsemik camp is one such. Most of the hotels in Leh use either solar panels to heat water or locally installed boilers with minimal effect on environment.
