Trip Note

ECO-FRIENDLY:-

Every day the world is facing a big issue of environmental pollution and in Nepal as well. Our field staffs are quite conscious about environmental pollution at any time and we encourage all. We would suggest to our guest to use boiled water or water purification pills than buying a bottle of water, it helps to avoid plastic bottles which can take a long time to disappear. During the trek, if possible you can order same items food in a group which minimizes the fuel used and to make a campfire is almost forbidden. We would encourage being a responsible traveler so, just leaving foot-print on the trail and bring out all non-biodegradables which you had.  

ACCESS FOR THIS TREK:-

The starting point of this trek is Tumlingtar which accessible by domestic airplane and Local transportation bus/ jeep. But if you go by bus/jeep, need more days because it is long way driving to Tumlingtar.
