India Himalayas tour, Delhi to Leh

Planet

Though a minimal amount of time is spent within nature over the course of this trip, we have worked hard to ensure it is as environmentally-responsible as possible. This trip features visits to a number of rural destinations; we ensure our guides are mindful about protecting the environment in which you travel, whether in rural or urban areas, and they do a fantastic job of promoting having a minimum impact whilst traveling, too.

One significant aspect of this trip that has been designed to be as eco-friendly as possible is transport. This trip features journeys by train and by shared vehicle, with much of the day-to-day explorations and tours of sites being done on foot. We have found responsibly-considered transport is just one small but significant way to reduce our carbon footprint and make our tours more environmentally-friendly.

Finally, to you, our travelers, we ask you to be vigilant about disposing of your waste and recycle where possible. During your trip you will be asked if you have any waste to dispose of when it is a suitable time in the itinerary. This ensures we make it as easy as possible for our travelers to be eco-friendly whilst traveling. We strongly advise all travelers to bring a reusable water bottle - this is an easy way to save plastic waste and is detailed in our ‘What to bring’ trip notes for all trips to all destinations. Your guide will remind you where and when you can fill up your re-usable water bottle. We also encourage general sustainability whenever possible – limited use of air-conditioning and electricity for instance. This is something we care about strongly as an organisation, and something we try to pass on to our travelers.
