Hiking in the natural territories of Nepal is truly fortunate, but it also presupposes acts of maintaining the territories’ integrity. Implementations that are carried out ensure that these beautiful ambiance are preserved for generations to come by observing sustainable trekking. Here’s how you can minimize your impact: Here’s how you can minimize your impact:
Stay on Marked Trails: Frustration due to the path you have chosen may lead to the group straying into the wrong paths, which will cause the wearing of the soil and disturb the local wildlife habitats. Avoid going off to new areas unknown to people to minimize the impact on the environment.
Carry Reusable Items: Promote the use of rather single-trip containers for water, food, and utensils for instance through their reuse. Do not litter around the park and the surrounding environment, especially plastic products, and ensure that you take any litter you have back to a bin.
Respect Wildlife: Ensure that one does not get too close to the animals in an attempt to take a closer photograph or have a closer look at the animal. Never try to offer food to the wildlife as this will be a mistake since it leads to habitual changes in these animals.
Support Local Communities: Select your local guides, porters, and teahouses that would be beneficial to the local communities. Be culturally sensitive and sensitive to one’s cultural assimilation; do not take any pictures of people without their permission.
Minimize Campfire Use: Instead of making fire on the ground reduce the count of campfire and instead of using campfire use portable stoves for cooking food.
Leave No Trace: PRACTICE THE “CLEAN AS YOU GO” PRINCIPLE THAT WOULD INVOLVE PACKING OUT ALL WASTE – BIODEGRADABLE WASTE INCLUSIVE. Coastal formations, flowers and shrubs, ancient relics, and other articles should not be tampered with.
Conserve Water: Water should be used cautiously as well as not to pollute water resources. Exclusive of clothes and bathing, do these either far from rivers or streams and when washing, use biodegradable soap only.
These would help you make better practices for your trekking to reach Nepal’s trails intact and full of colors for other trekkers in the future.
