Be A Responsible Tourist

1.	Use designated routes, campsites and resting places to reduce trampling and other negative environmental impacts.
2.	Respect local culture and traditions, use home stays, locally owned hotels/lodges or campsites as much as possible to support the local livelihood.
3.	Avoid/minimize using firewood. Use common space for heating. Opt for alternatives to minimize deforestation.
4.	Maintain cleanliness and hygiene. Use the litter box locally available. Carry back your own garbage while traveling through ecologically sensitive areas.
5.	Encourage to place mobile toilets at a considerable distance (at least 50 m.) from sources of water, riverbanks and springs while camping along the riversides.
6.	Use the services of local guides and porters as much as possible to explore more about local environment and culture.
7.	Money spent here will contribute directly to the local livelihood, women's empowerment and environmental conservation.

Before you begin your journey we request you to abide by the above guidelines in order to safeguard the nature and culture of the area and be a responsible tourist.
