First
Environmental Trekking has always remained very conscious about the
preservation of environment. It focuses on local cultures, wilderness
adventures, volunteering, personal growth and learning new ways to live
on planet. Our company believes in a travel to destinations where the
flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. We
practice responsible ecotourism which includes programs that minimize
the adverse effects of traditional tourism on the natural environment,
and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. Therefore, in
addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, initiatives
by hospitality providers to promote recycling, energy efficiency, water
re-use, and the creation of economic opportunities for local
communities are some of our objectives.
Our
goal is to enable people to enjoy and learn about the natural,
historical and cultural characteristics of unique environments while
preserving the integrity of those sites and stimulating the economic
development opportunities in local communities. Specifically we always
attempt to effectively promote the preservation of entire local
ecosystems, not just individual species, vistas or sites.
In
numerous places, trekking groups have left littered trails and degraded
forest in their wake. Against this alarming backdrop, the practice of
ecologically friendly-tourism has been gaining increased momentum –
both in Nepal and around the World. Our approach to tourism seeks not
only to preserve the environment and culture of a tourist destination
but also to be of benefit to the local population. By fostering
environmental awareness, both among locals & visitors and by
linking tourism to social and economic development, it is possible to
preserve the natural and cultural heritage of an area through the
promotion of sustainable tourism. This not only enhances the positive
experience of those on holiday it also helps to increase the standard
of living of the local residents. Such a lot has been said about
environmentally friendly tourism and no doubt a lot more will be. We
can proudly say without hesitation that we have led the way in
responsible tours to our Kingdom.
Our
slogan is “Where there is greenery, there is peace and happiness”. In
this regard we strongly condemn deforestation and organize plantation
project from time to time. All the guides and porters working in this
company have been provided training about the hazards faced by the
environment. They have learned and adopted practices for protection of
environment. In training and workshop about environmental degradation
and specific measures for the protection, the local people of different
areas have been invited. These programs provide awareness to the local
community about sanitation, hazards of deforestation, preservation of
eco system; maintain cleanliness and hygiene and so on. The profit our
company earns by selling tour and trekking packages to the guests is
shared and invested for the above mentioned activities for the benefit
of local livelihood, women’s empowerment and environmental conservation.
