Responsible Tourism
Tourism can benefit not just the traveler but the host country in various ways. With responsible tourism, you as a traveler can help in the preservation and protection of the natural and socio-cultural aspects of Nepal while enjoying a memorable trip. Responsible tourism is making better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit. Keeping this in mind, Eternal Himalaya provides travel plans which offer tourists with great traveling experience while promoting responsible tourism.
Nepal is a country well known for its natural and cultural diversity. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world visit here to witness the fascinating aspects of this country. However, the growth of tourism has led to an alarming rate of environmental issues and degrading qualities of the life support system that threatens the state of nature. This situation calls forth the need for responsible tourism and Eternal Himalaya is here to provide it. Our main focus lies on minimizing negative impacts and maximizing benefits on the environment and society. We strongly plead visitor to abide by the motto of ``leave only footprints and take only photographs``. This strongly contributes to maintaining the originality of nature and preserving environmental cleanliness and hygiene.
Responsible tourism in Nepal is the combined effort of travel and tour operators, the government, local people, and tourists. As such, we provide opportunities to involve in various activities such as health camps, awareness campaigns, teaching programs etc., to help the community. As tourists, you can also participate in these programs and help in contributing to the ones in need. We also try to involve as much as local people as possible to give them employment opportunities by hiring them as porters and guides as well as use their services to contribute to generating income. We try our best to use the respective trekking trails and accommodation sites to minimize pollution and disturbance to the environment. Our services abide by and understand the importance of responsible tourism. Thus, if you want to enjoy a memorable journey while contributing to society, you can always rely on Eternal Himalaya to give you what you want.
