Bhairav Kunda Trek in Nepal

Planet

This area is a holy place for locals so we request you not to bring any plastic with you and don't 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 back when you complete the route. This is a much more efficient way of useless buying of 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 on water stations or in lodges you're gonna stay at instead of buying each time mineral water in plastic bottles.
