TRAVEL THAT GIVES BACK

Responsible travel

The valleys we visit are people's homes. We want every trip to leave them a little better off.

OUR COMMITMENTS

How we travel lightly

Local guides & staff

We work with guides, drivers, porters and cooks from the regions we visit.

Fair wages

Fair pay and fair loads for porters and staff.

Local stays

Locally owned hotels and guesthouses wherever we can.

Leave no trace

We carry out our rubbish and keep camps and trails clean.

Respect for culture

Modest dress, asking before photos and respect for local customs.

Less plastic

Refill water where it is safe instead of buying single-use bottles.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Small things that matter

  • Bring a refillable bottle and a small bag for your rubbish.
  • Buy local — dried fruit, crafts and meals from local families.
  • Ask before photographing people, especially women.
  • Stay on paths in meadows so the flowers keep coming back.
