Responsible Trekking and Leave No Trace

Simple actions that protect forts, forests, villages and water sources on every journey.

Responsible travel begins before arrival. Carry reusable bottles, minimise packaging and choose operators who work with local guides. On the trail, remain on established paths, keep noise low and never carve names into rock or historic structures.

What travellers should know

Bring all waste back, including biodegradable-looking tissues and fruit peels that alter wildlife behaviour. Ask before photographing residents, dress respectfully near sacred spaces and buy locally where possible. Small group habits determine whether popular landscapes remain welcoming and healthy.
