Ecotourism is perhaps nowhere more relevant than in Nepal.With massive
mountains, rolling hills, abundant vegetation and diverse wildlife – it
is little wonder that Nepal is a popular tourist destination and the
ideal location for ecotourism.Ecotourism in Nepal is the main form of
tourism in the country aside from the attractions of Kathmandu and other
historical cities.From wildlife viewing, to wilderness camps, hiking
vacations and white-water rafting, Nepal's ecotourism industry is
flourishing.Nepal is also a culturally rich country with dozens of
ethnic groups (mostly living in the mountains where the tourists go of
trekking) having their own cultures. As the people are poor and not very
conscious of the values of their culture, they are quite vulnerable to
tourist cultures.
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 country.All the guides and porters
working in this company have been provided training about the hazards
faced by the environment.
