First Environmental Trekking has always remained
very conscious about the preservation of
environment. It focuses on local cultures,
wilderness adventures, volunteering, personal
growth and learning new ways to live on planet.
Our company believes in a travel to destinations
where the flora, fauna, and cultural heritage
are the primary attractions. We practice
responsible ecotourism which includes programs
that minimize the adverse effects of traditional
tourism on the natural environment, and enhance
the cultural integrity of local people.
Therefore, in addition to evaluating
environmental and cultural factors, initiatives
by hospitality providers to promote recycling,
energy efficiency, water re-use, and the
creation of economic opportunities for local
communities are some of our objectives.
Our goal is to enable people to enjoy and learn
about the natural, historical and cultural
characteristics of unique environments while
preserving the integrity of those sites and
stimulating the economic development
opportunities in local communities. Specifically
we always attempt to effectively promote the
preservation of entire local ecosystems, not
just individual species, vistas or sites.
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
Kingdom.
Our slogan is “Where there is greenery, there is
peace and happiness”. In this regard we strongly
condemn deforestation and organize plantation
project from time to time. All the guides and
porters working in this company have been
provided training about the hazards faced by the
environment. They have learned and adopted
practices for protection of environment. In
training and workshop about environmental
degradation and specific measures for the
protection, the local people of different areas
have been invited. These programs provide
awareness to the local community about
sanitation, hazards of deforestation,
preservation of eco system, maintain cleanliness
and hygiene and so on. The profit our company
earns by selling tour and trekking packages to
the guests is shared and invested for the above
mentioned activities for the benefit of local
livelihood, women’s empowerment and
environmental conservation. |
