Langtang trekking tour in Nepal

Planet

Our trekking company is wholly committed to responsible tourism. As a trekking specialist we focus on walking and low carbon ways of exploring our surroundings which leaves minimal impact when organised properly with sustainability in mind.

We employ well-trained & experienced local guides and hire local porters whose load limit is 20-25kg. Our guides will give a briefing about responsible tourism e.g. rubbish disposal, giving food scraps to domestic animals, paying the porters to carry out trash, using a fire pit when camping, not picking flowers, using kerosene instead of firewood, avoiding bathing/washing clothes in streams, using local tea houses or camping sites. In addition the small group size of 4-10 people helps to minimize the impact on the environment.

On this trek, we stay at local lodges/tea-houses operated by local people such as Langtang view lodge, Green hill lodge, Lake view lodge which manage rubbish properly and use gas for cooking, rather than firewood.
