We are ethinic people from the Himalaya so we are very committed in protecting our mountains and local culture. We believe in respecting and benefiting the local people and the environment. We ensure that all our treks/tours cause minimal environmental impact.

 

We minimize the use of rubbish. Our cooking during tent-trek is done over kerosene stoves or gas, but never firewood. In the home stays the cooking is done with bio-gas. We encourage clients to bring warm clothes to minimize the use of campfires. If possible, we encourage the use of filtered drinking water.

 

We support the use local products. We encourage the use of home stay in the lower Everest region. Home stay supports local community and you as clients are able learn & live the Sherpa-culture. 10% of Solukhumbu Treks profits are used to support sponsoring of local schools in the lower Everest region.

 

We ensure that all of the porters/support team members and all other staff serving or traveling with you are provided with adequate clothing and equipment. We provide insurance and emergency helicopter evacuation for our staff if needed.
