Responsible Living and Travel is something that is the need of the hour.Mountain ecosystem are fragile and have to be dealt carefully.We will follow the TRIPLE R strategy as much as we can REDUCE RECYCLE & REGENERATE.Localized experiences as much as possible asWe also consider the effects of tourism on our destinations and promote responsible travel on our trips.We ensure that all people involved with us get proper wages on time as well dignity/respect for their work like the porters and mountain guides
They also arrange for a tree to be planted for ever person that climbs the mountain, so that every travelers can make a positive contribution in the fight against climate change.We encourage our customers to be sensitive when it comes to both photography and dress code, urging travelers to respect difference, privacy, and modesty.
Traveling independently with a free mind to support local causes also is a great way to keep your mind relaxed and calm in long term.You get to meet new travelers.We tie up with with local population to enhance your experience and also involve you in community development initiatives.We make sure that our local partners and operators give you relevant information and guide you in adaptation with the local community.We use local guides on all of the excursions involved in our itineraries, and we use family-run, locally-owned accommodation wherever possible.We try to use local transport to get our travelers from point A to point B.It is better people travel using local means of transport rather than high class luxury travel.
1) Preventing use of plastic or reducing its usage to minimum.If using plastic taking it back along or throw it in a proper dustbin where it can be properly disposed off.Using only bio-degradable plastic is a better option if available.Usage of carry bags, disposable cups and laminated plastics like pouches of chips, pan masala, aluminium foil and packaging material used for biscuits, chocolates, and milk and grocery item should be minimized though they can be recycled by using them in building roads for example.
2) Home stays in homes made from local material.Procurement of goods and services is done locally.Also local craftsmen and technicians are employed in all restoration and extension work.
Organic waste through compost pits and inorganic wastes through traditional ‘kabari’ collection systems. Bath & kitchen water and rainwater runoff in ponds is re-used through the use of soak-pits.Visitors are provided with information for reducing water and power consumption.Bucket baths are recommended as they use lesser water.Use of electrical equipment and using power efficient products when necessary are recommended.
Vegetables and grains grown organically in nearby fields and can be consumed for daily usage also helping local farmers.
3) Refilling water bottles from local places and eating local food rather than eating in fancy restaurants.Avoid packaged food as much as you can.Kindly do not waste food and if the food is getting wasted kindly ask for modifications.Food provided in the local homestays is freshly prepared in the host kitchen using locally grown and locally sourced ingredients so it is preferable to eat there.In cases where it is absolute necassity to eat outside in restaurants then it can be done.
4) Most locals do organic farming to sustain themselves.We try to involve travelers with locals as much as they can.Growing one's own food can help the community sustain for longer durations.
3) The area of himachal is filled with plenty rivers with fresh and clean water flowing.A lot of times water from rivers is clean and drinkable in itself.But because of pollution and other disruptions this is becoming a problem and requirement for purified mineral water is rising here.We can improve them by ensuring we dont litter around sensitive rivers ensure they are clean and spotless
