Eco-Friendly Trekking: Leave No Trace Principles

The fragile Himalayan ecosystem faces increasing pressure from tourism. By following Leave No Trace principles, we can enjoy these mountains while preserving them for future generations.

Core Principles

1. Plan Ahead - Stick to established trails and campsites.

2. Dispose of Waste Properly - Pack out all trash, including biodegradable items.

3. Respect Wildlife - Observe from distance, never feed animals.

4. Minimize Campfire Impact - Use camping stoves instead of fires.

Sustainable Practices

Choose operators with eco-certifications, carry a reusable water bottle with purification, and support local communities by buying local products and hiring local guides.
