Environmental Sustainability
Himalayan Humanity Treks has developed the following guidelines to provide environmentally sustainable treks:
- Protective equipment
and shelter will be provided for all staff so will not be dependent
on fire wood to save from cold.
- Himalayan Humanity Treks will encourage all
trekkers to use purified water instead of bottled water. Iodine for
water purification will be
provided to trekkers at cost.
- We will recommend staying only in lodges
and hotels that use kerosene for cooking purposes.
- We will not allow use
of camp fires by our trekkers or staff.
- We recommend that our clients
choose foods that are made from local products to save fuel and transportation,
and encourage everyone in the group
to order the same items.
- We will practice ‘carry in carry out’ low
impact trekking and will take out all garbage that we produce.
- Toilet
tents will be provided on camping treks for clients, porters and
field staffs.
