Ganesh Himal camping trek in Nepal

Planet

We know our wildlife and are committed to conserving it, and encourage guests to follow our lead. This is a holy and sacred territory for many pilgrimages, and we have to respect it, keep it clean, and not bring any harm to the environment. We'll bring our tents, food, all the equipment, and will carry all out so as not to leave any traces behind us.

We humbly ask you to avoid any use of plastic on this trek and not accept plastic bags from locals when you buy anything. Bring your BPA-free bottle to refill it with water on your way instead of buying bottled mineral water. Nepal is rich in pure spring waters that are safe for drinking; the use of water purifiers is the best alternative.

All our suppliers match our environmental values. Before the trek, we explain our ideas and beliefs, how to reduce the bad influence on the environment by using electric stoves or gas for cooking instead of wood fire, reducing meat meals in menus, selling products wrapped in plastic, and not settling proper trash bins in lodges. Sometimes we need the patience to explain the consequences of our actions. It takes time to set the eco-friendly movement in Nepal

It's a full trekking holiday; this means it is a low-carbon form of transport.

People

This area is not touristic and not developed; that's why we are going to use guides, sherpas, cooks, and porters to carry our food, tents, and equipment. All the things you buy on your way, like local snacks, veggies, fruits, tea, and dairy gonna benefit locals and help them to support themselves and their families during the year. All members of the team are locals who were born and raised in that area. We train them during the year, provide them with all needed for safe working conditions: clothes, insurance, equipment, salary, meals, accommodation.

It is highly encouraged to tip your guides, porters, and drivers; as we said before, this area is not developed, and tourism is the only way for people to have some income and live the whole year.

We'll stay some nights in tea houses run by locals as well, and it is also encouraged to eat and drink in the same place where you gonna stay for a night.
We will learn about projects that support, educate, and employ women in Nepal.

This area is also conservative with unique culture and traditions, so dress in a respected manner, be open to trying new things, new food, new way of life, greet everyone you meet on your way, participate in celebrations and learn some Nepali, also you can teach a little of your language to locals to create an open and friendly atmosphere, to remove language barriers between nations.
