Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.
Our Nepal guides are strict in monitoring and preventing littering to protect the sites we visit and waste bins are provided in all vehicles. We also strongly recommend the use of filtered or purified water instead of purchasing bottled water en-route and thereby adding to the already large problem of plastic waste in the mountains. All travellers are encouraged to bring their own refillable water bottles, though these are readily available in Kathmandu too and we are rolling out a program of providing large water canisters in our vehicles on group tours to take refills from. We are also offering water filtering bottles to travellers, all of which can vastly reduce waste generated by our customers both during the tour and on an ongoing basis.Many of the sites we visit are incredibly important historical and natural wonders, and we encourage our travellers to treat these sites as such, sticking to marked paths, not climbing on ruins, picking wild plants or flowers, and avoiding disturbing the local wildlife as much as possible.
Whilst trekking in the Everest region we stay in local tea houses/trekking lodges which are operated by the local community. We aim to use lodges which use gas to fuel the accommodations rather than relying on the burning of fire wood.
The Impacts of this Trip
We use only Nepalese guides and Porters, all trained and qualified which not only contributes towards the local economy and provides much needed jobs, but provides an insight into Nepalese culture which only a local could do. We have worked with the same Nepali family for 20 years who help to run all our operations in Nepal. We aim to use only locally owned hotels and guesthouses whilst in Kathmandu. During the trek we stay in tea houses and trekking lodges owned by the local villagers rather than camping as we feel this both provides a more interactive experience and puts more back into the local mountain communities
All porters used are employed under the guidelines provided by the International Porter Protection group, which covers their clothing & footwear and maximum loads as well as other employment guidelines.
We have supported various local charities and NGOs over the years, including specific donations and support to our local team and their families following the 2015 earthquake.
