Environmental Aspects: We are aware on the protection of fragile environments while organizing trekking and climbing trips. We motivate all of our guests to 'take only photos, leave only footprints'. We cook meals using kerosene or gas in camping trip and prefer to stay at teahouse where Kerosene or alternative energy is being use for cooking.
