General advice to trekkers is to leave only footprints and take only photographs; however, recent developments along trekking trails have been of concern to environmentalists and locals alike. The sprouting of teahouses along trekking trails demand wood for construction and fuel, which has led to deforestation. In addition, the amount of waste has increased without proper mechanism for disposal, making some of the popular trails both unsightly and unhealthy. With increased awareness on the part of trekkers and local people, this trend is changing. However, the message still needs to be passed across for more environmentally sound trekking.
For eco friendly trekking the following rules must be followed.

It was a great trip when we were in Nepal last July. The team member at pathfinder was so supportive and knowledgeable on the things what they been doing, they are very professional on their job. Overall services were great and it was worth of the price what we were paying, however they were cheaper than other agency in Kathmandu. They are fully government registered so no need to worry about anything while book the trip with them. If there is any one would like to make trip to Nepal, Bhutan and other destination nearby, you are highly recommended to use this agency. read more
