Use And Reuse Should Be The Norm

Always carry refillable and easy to dispose water bottles withyou. Plastic bottles should be a big no no. Carry the things whichyou can use and reuse. Do not carry non biodegradable productsas at such height, it would stay for at least 1000 years beforegetting lost in the debris. Even the disposable ones cannot bethrown there as at such high temperature, it would take thoseyears to be lost for good.



Avoid Using Non-Disposable Paper Products

Use it less. There is no competition as to who will use maximumpaper tissues. Wash your hands wherever you can. Do not throwthe used paper here and there. Carry a litter bag in which youcan collect all these waste paper and bring it back. Use all thesides of it before you discard it.



Why only Eco-Friendly Trek, Why Not The Full Trip?

Let’s see. Trekking is fine. You will take precautions but you cansave a ton of carbon footprint on your way to reach your startingpoint. How? By using public transport. A little walking or hiring acycle in the local area won’t harm but would double up the fun andadventure part of your trip.

Organic Food, Tasty and Green :)

Buy only organic food. This would have multiple benefits. No nonot for environment but you too as organic food is healthy too. Butyes environment would also be benefitted as less nonbiodegradable dump. A perfect win-win :)

Dig Dig Dig

Dig a pit. I know nature’s call has to be attended. Nobody couldever run from that. But least you could do is a dig a small pit in thesandy area and poop there and then cover it so that mother naturecan plant a tree there or you could do that too (Carry some seedswith you :P). Dump all the biodegradable waste also in a small pitso that it can be converted into manure too and leave the rest ofthe job to our dear Mr. Nature :P

Note : You cannot follow this if you are trekking on the snowy area.As the snow would eventually melt and the water would get stinkyand unhealthy :



Carry Out All that you Carried In

Bring back everything. You are not on a trip to your farmhousewhere your servants will come and clean up once you leave. Carry aplastic bag with you in which you can put all your nonbiodegradables and take it back to the starting place and dispose itoff properly. Let the view be great as it is all about admiring thenature’s beauty in its true form <3.



Poop Products :P

In order to prevent the poop bomb from explosion in Himalayas,we need to bring our poop back and not let it rest there especiallywhile trekking on Everest. Because the snow when melts get mixedwith it and contaminates the water (An essential while trekking).There are many products such as Wag Bag, Clean Mountain Canwhich are easy to use and carry back to the base.



You can also use plastic bags for this with a little innovative head inbringing it back. Carry it with you in the plastic bag and dispose itoff in a soily area where it can easily merge with soil and can dosome good :)

Remember the mighty Himalayas are getting flooded with the shitnot because nothing can be done about it, it is because you are toolazy to own up to it. It’s yours only, do not show such hatred :P



Green Camping

“Home is Wherever you Camp.”

I am sure all my true trekkers could relate immediately. Do youkeep your home dirty? No, Right? So Why to leave your campingplace in a ruined condition once you are done? This is going to be anice and pleasant home for other people after you. So always leaveit clean. Trust me, You will feel so good :)

Adventure is just around the corner. All you need to make sure is itis harmless for both - You and Mother Nature. Our belovedHimalayas, the ultimate marvel on Earth offers us so much morethan we could ever give it back. The least we could do is preserve itin all its glory. Adventure does not mean going to beautiful placesand sitting on the edge of the mountain. It also means leaving itundisturbed as if no one ever visited so that others could come andhave the same feeling.

As they say:

“We travel initially to lose ourselves, We travel next to find ourselves.”
