Serious about the environment and community

During your trek, enjoy the environment with a minimal 'footprint' and at the same time be a contributor to local communities. Below are some of the ways you help achieve this in Nepal when staying at our campsites:

A camping-based trek employs 25% more local people than a lodge-based trek. Our eco campsites and the operations of these generally provide year-round employment and career opportunities for the Nepali people (and you gain an invaluable insight into the local culture via the dedicated Nepali crew accompanying your trek).
We purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from the local communities – further contributing to the local economy.
We ensure that the environmental impact of our campsites is significantly smaller than that of a tea house or standard lodge-based trek:

• Deforestation is a major ongoing concern for the Nepali wilderness – it's a significant threat to the country's flora and fauna and can be the cause of landslips, which can be a risk for villages. For heating, we burn dried yak or buffalo dung – a sustainable and renewable fuel source that has been widely used as a traditional practice in the Himalaya for centuries. Timber for building at our sites is purchased from Nepal's controlled forestry suppliers,
• We cook with kerosene or gas,
• All non-biodegradable refuse – paper and plastic – is incinerated in a clean and complete burn. Non-combustible waste is carried out to the nearest city for responsible disposal.
