On the trail
Adventure and care belong together. We protect the mountains, pay local teams fairly, and ask every guest to walk the same way.
We employ local guides and porters, sleep in community lodges, pack waste out, and treat the trail as someone's home, not a backdrop.
The Himalaya is not a set. Villages, forests, and high camps stay after we walk out. Our job is to leave them intact, and to put wages into the valleys we cross.
Every group gets a briefing before departure: trails, wildlife, photography, and how we handle water and rubbish on the hill.
We review the practice, listen to communities and guests, and train the team. The pledge is not a poster. It is how the day is run.
When you travel with us, you choose a partner that treats porters with respect and the mountain as a place to return to.
The same rules on every trek, from Poon Hill to a 7,000 m line.
Stay on the trail. Respect wildlife. Keep fires small or skip them. We carry waste out and push refillable water over single-use bottles.
Choose a desk that pays local teams and packs the waste out. The Himalaya stays for the next walker.
