Lodge food along the popular trails vary from basic to those offering a range of choice from pizzas to apple pie. In order not to contribute to the already rapid denudation of Himalayan forests we use kerosene fuel for all client and staff cooking on all our camping treks. When we use local services like lodges we patronize and encourage those lodges who have adopted ecologically safe methods in use of fuel and waste management - thereby encouraging other lodges to implement similar, or better, methods. Our trail staff are trained in the correct disposal of waste. All biodegradable waste is burned and buried before breaking camp every morning.
Care is taken to fill in toilet holes after use.
All our trip members are briefed about requirements regarding waste disposal before starting. All paper and dry tissue are collected and burned by our crew. Staff Insurance, etc. We take pride in the fact that every single porter and guide employed by us is not only well paid but also protected by a life insurance policy. They are provided with warm clothing and proper shelter on all high altitude treks.
