Dudh Kunda trekking tour in Nepal

Planet

Before the trek, we will provide a detailed briefing about how to be responsible travelers minimize the impact on nature, and preserve the environment and wildlife habitat. For example, we advise not to throw plastic wastages or other waste everywhere instead use the trash bin, rubbish pit, etc, Do not pluck up flowers and plants on the way, use local tea houses, avoid bathing or washing clothes in the stream, etc. We train and encourage our staff (guide, sherpas, porters) to collect non-disposable waste found on the way and properly dispose of it. We also recommend our travelers carry the reusable water bottles and fill them again with boiled water from the lodges to help keep the environment clean from plastic bottles.

Our customers are encouraged to implement recycling habits into their daily lives as it is one of the most effective ways to help lessen landfill waste, conserve natural resources, save habitats, reduce pollution, cut down on energy consumption, and slow down global warming.

We encourage the local people to avoid deforestation do more aforestation programs and avoid animal poaching to save the environment and the wildlife habitat. Providing food wastage to domestic animals if possible too. We will also encourage the local people to use kerosene/gas fuel instead of firewood to minimize the impact on the environment.

A group size of 2-8 people will be more convenient which can assist in minimizing the impact on the environment.

Travelers are encouraged to be more focused on eco-tourism and green tourism so that they can help preserve wildlife and the environment and also help minimize the negative impact on local cultures.

People

We aim to help increase the living standards of the local people by creating more job opportunities, and sometimes facilitating sponsorship from interested tourists for local people for higher education and to travel abroad

Our travelers will be accommodated in the local standard lodges for overnight stays which are operated by the locals and food will be provided in the same lodge authentically. Travelers can get to select food from the menu provided by the lodge for lunch and dinner but local Nepali cuisine is mostly selected by most travelers. This way we will be explicitly contributing to the local economy and developing the lifestyles of the rural area residents.

In some places, the local community separates a certain percentage of the price paid by the travelers in a reserve fund to be used in the development of that area. And this way, we will also be contributing to the development of that particular area. We encourage travelers to use local lodges, and local tea houses, and purchase local products such as fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, meat, drinks, handlooms products, handicrafts, clothes, etc which will help to generate more income and more employment opportunities for the local people

The guides will explain and accompany the travelers in case any local festivals are going on (like Dashain, Tihar, or Teej Festival ) and help them understand its importance and history as far as possible. If the travelers are interested, a visit to local monasteries can be organized where they can make some donations as financial help to the organizations.

With the help of the tourists, we also support the local community, school, and health posts by providing medical materials, toys, educational materials, and some amount as a donation to the kids for their better education and growth.

There will be the use of local manpower who are well trained and experienced such as local English-speaking guides and porters with equipped tools and clothes needed during the trek. The loaded carry will be in the limit of 20-25 kg and all the field staff will be traveling insured.
