A lot of garbage are left by trekking groups and
their crews in major trekking routes in Everest,
Annapurna and Langtang
regions of Nepal. They even left their shoes! We were able to burn, bury, and
carry out almost all of it. We try to remain aware of any rubbish throughout our
journey. |

On the way back home, we take just a few extra minutes to deal with it. Not only
does this make the cleaned-up landscape look better, it provides an example to
our local hosts: "Hey, they may be crazy, but not all foreigners are pigs".
(Andrew Dunn Photo) This year, we have begun working with Tony Pasture of
Minimum Impact.
The organization’s goal is to set up a system of reducing the potential impacts
of adventure travel. Minimum Impact will work together with local agencies
and tour operators to help curtail such problems as: deforestation, disruption
of the economy, waste disposal, and over-use, which can be the by-product of too
many tours going to an overly-concentrated area. A group of travel agents from
Germany has devised a unique trek package, one in which tourists pay for a
holiday that involves picking up.
