Nepal

Eco-friendly travel

• Use water purification tablets or filters on treks instead of buying plastic bottles.
• Carry your rubbish down the mountain.
• Choose trekking agencies that pay and equip porters fairly.
• Stay on trails and respect local customs in villages.
• Don't ride elephants in Chitwan: choose walking or jeep safaris.
• Use solar showers and avoid hot showers fuelled by firewood in the mountains.
