When we use local services like lodges we patronize and encourage those lodges who have adopted ecologically safe methodes in use of fuel and waste management- thereby encouraging other lodges to implement similar, or better methods.<\/p>\n

Our Commitment to Trekking<\/h1>\n
    \n
  • Prepare properly for each trek: warm clothing and shelter will be provided for porters and staff on high altitude treks. A first aid kit will be sent on each trek. First aid training will be made a available to staff.<\/li>\n
  • Ask group member to help: group member will be properly briefed before trek on proper dress, bathing attire, respect for religious sites, to give money, \u00a0gifts only through temple caretaker, monastery, school teachers or local health workers. We like to advice you all do not give things to the kids, unless if you feel the need then we suggest that you give a washing shoap more worthy then candy.<\/li>\n
  • Cook On Stoves. Every effort will be made to provide kerosene and meals for the suporters. Kerosene\/ gas will be used in every camping trek.<\/li>\n
  • Leave all camp site and the trails clean: campsite rubbish will be seperated into biodegredables and nonbiodegredable items. Only paper products will be burnd. Vegetable items and food stuff will be seperated and buried away from the campsite. Tins, cans, bottles, plastics, batteries will be packed out to be disposal correctly. Our staff will be encourege to clean the campsite and the trails in order to keep eco- friendly environment.<\/li>\n
  • While Staying In Village Lodges: patronize those lodges who use kerosene, gas or fuel efficient stoves for cooking where ever possible. Encourage and help those not alreadyusing eco-friendly methods to do so. Keep a record of each lodge used in order to compare different lodges and to introduce better services using better methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
