Bhairav Kunda Trek in Nepal

Planet

This area is a holy place for locals, so we request that you not bring any plastic with you and not accept plastic bags and straws when buying something from locals.

We carry out all garbage from Langtang Valley; our guides will explain to you some simple steps on our first briefing before the trek.

You don't need to buy equipment for one-time use if you are not trekking often. You can rent everything you need for the trek in our community and return it when you complete the route. This is a much more efficient way of buying equipment and then throwing it away. It also helps you to pack lighter.

We are trying to set up a plastic-free trend in Nepal as water and land pollution is a big problem here. We ask you to bring your own BPA-free bottle that you can refill at water stations or in lodges you're gonna stay at instead of buying each time mineral water in plastic bottles.

People

This trek is very popular among domestic tourists for its beautiful mountains and religious values. That is why it is important to follow rules and not to do any actions that may desecrate places and customs. We ask you to dress modestly when visiting such places. The clothes should cover your knees and elbows. Don't take photos if there is a sign; take off your shoes if locals are doing it. If you cannot take off your shoes, please don't enter sacred places.

Dive into the culture by talking with locals, drinking tea together, playing cards, having a small talk, learning some Nepali, teach your language a bit - be open to anything.

We employ only locals as our guides and porters from the region where we will trek to create more income. We'll also stay in homestays and guesthouses. Support locals by buying from them traditional delicacies and snacks such as nuts, dry fruits, fresh fruits and veggies, and drinks. Avoid buying imported unhealthy food. We'll visit lots of handicraft shops that educate and employ women. You can buy many useful souvenirs from Nepal there, made of recycled materials: bags, clothes, shoes, scarves, toys, prints, cards, organic cosmetics, and so on. By buying these, you support them a lot. Consult with our guides where you can find such places.

We offer local guides and porters good working conditions: salary, insurance, meals, accommodation, equipment.

During this trek, you have a great chance to combine the beauty of nature and see the culture and customs of the area. Greet people on your way, have a talk or a tea together, play football with kids, learn a bit of Nepali and teach your language. All these help to build a bridge between cultures
