Our Mission Statement
Adventure Explore Nepal Treks & Expedition recognizes the fact that if tourism is not correctly managed it can have a very negative effect on the local people and culture, the environment and the local and national economy. This is particularly true for a country such as Nepal whose economy depends so much on tourism. It is obviously important to us that you have a great time when you visit Nepal, but this must not be at the expense of our national treasures: our environment and our people. As a professional company we have a duty to act responsibly and to encourage and promote responsible tourism. The emphasis must be on actions right now rather than just a list of things we would like to achieve in the future. Adventure Explore Nepal Treks & Expedition has many economic, environmental and social responsibilities which we have included below in our Responsible Tourism Policy. Our goal is to become Nepal's foremost responsible tour operator, an achievement which in our opinion is very achievable with our determination. However, visitors must also accept their role in helping us to realize this goal. Only if tourists and travel companies work together can we ensure that tourism can really benefit local communities, providing income, positive cultural exchange and a financial incentive to protect the natural environment.
Economic Responsibility
We can develop tourism in ways which reflect the natural, cultural and social integrity of the destination, and which encourage appropriate forms of tourism. Tourism is one of the prevalent industries in world and it is the largest incoming source of foreign currency in Nepal. Tourism also provides economic incentives, promotes wild-life conservation, generates income for park management and brings much needed incomes to the rural populations. It also accepts reasonable business, pay and charge fair prices, and builds partnerships with international companies related to tourism, help to establish friendly and co-related relationship in the field of tourism. Sharing idea with each other allows an opportunity to produce good benefits in tourism. In the other hand, local people gain economic benefits from tourism; helping travelers through their guiding skills, working as porter etc. They are more likely to respond positively and work with tourists and trekkers to protect and manage their natural resource base. Giving business to local people and hotels and buying local products keeps tourist revenue in the local economy. As we send many trekking packages to any regions, we also send wealth, job etc to this reason means bringing wealth into that reason. It provides full and effective participation and possible income-generating opportunities for local people. And it can make a massive profit. In such, an economy, money creates more money and better living standards. If one can managed the tourism policy and managed it properly and catered to the utilization of natural resources to create sustainable income for businesses and individuals. Even for the people working in the tourist industry the benefits come at high costs: long and irregular working hours, minimal job security or seasonal work, and comparably low wages characterize employment in this sector. It also benefits to local hotel owners and tour operators who operates many touring package to the visitors. Tourist money can help sustain indigenous culture, language or religion also. Tourism is vital for many factors, due to the income produced by utilization of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services such as cruise ships and taxis, accommodation such as hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, and other hospitality industries. All things are benefitted by the tourism.
Environmental Responsibility
1. Adventure Explore Nepal Treks & Expedition’s have a zero litter tolerance. On our treks all rubbish and waste material is carried out and disposed of in suitable facilities in the SPCC office is main towns and cities. The waste is divided into organic (green bags) and inorganic (black bags). We never bury waste along the route of the trail (see below for exception) and certainly never dump rubbish behind a hedge.
2. When campsites do not have proper flush toilets we take a portable toilet and toilet tent. We use special biodegradable toilet bags which are carried out (Inca Trail) or buried on more remote treks.
3. We give all of our clients biodegradable soap to wash with (made locally) and wash the dishes with biodegradable detergent. Dishes are washed in a bowl using filtered water and the dirty water are passed through a fine mesh to filter out any solids before being returned to a suitable outlet (sink, sewer or river).
4. Only clean is Kerosene used for cooking campfire not permitted due to the possible dangers to the environment caused by spillage areas considered to be a fire risk.
5. Travelers are encouraged to bring water purification tablets or water filters on the trek as this reduces the use of plastic bottles and also reduces the weight carried.
6. When our clients come to our office to pay their trek balance we provide them with a written trek briefing. This briefing includes information trekking rules and regulations which aim to protect the environment within the protected areas of the mountain region.
7. We reduce paper wastage in our office by not producing any form of paper brochures. All communications are by email and paper mail is rarely sent or received. We have reduced the need for paper in our office by the use of computer technology. Reservation details required for the purchase of permits and transportation tickets are transferred to the relevant companies by computer disk.
8. We have an ongoing training of our staff to ensure high standards of environmental care and responsible behavior. At the end of every trek our clients are asked to fill out a trek report which allows as monitoring and highlighting any areas of our service that can be improved upon.
Social Responsibility
Because we are all members of a global society, we believe social responsibility is a major part of responsible travel. We assist many communities and individuals in supporting local communities. We enthusiastically maintain a connection with many schools in different parts of Nepal. We can provide travelers with volunteer opportunities in the areas of health, education, mountain resource management, environment and pollution, just to name a few. Basically, we provide services that allow charity groups and volunteer workers to donate their time while learning more about Nepal.
Staff Welfare and Porter Protection Policy
We are legally responsible for our porters and guides and we care about all of our staff, from trek leaders and guides to Sherpa’s, cooks and porters. We ensure good pay, life insurance, and helicopter evacuation, as well as the equipment and clothing needed for porters and each member of the trekking staff. We believe that guides and porters are the backbone of our company. Without them, we would not be able to assist our valued clients, and to give them the attention they deserve as we introduce them to the spectacular beauty of the Himalayas. Our guides and porters also do their best to ensure that visitors get the quality service that they expect. They possess in depth knowledge of the trekking destinations.
We have adopted the following guidelines, which we refer to as our Porter Protection Policy:
Good & fair working wages
Weight carried is limited to about 25 kilos
Same standard of medical care applies to porters / trek staff / trek members
Adequate food and accommodations
Accident / medical insurance
No porter is asked to return from the middle of trek
Adequate trekking gear for all porters, like Gortex wind & waterproof jacket and trousers, fleece jacket, woolen warm hat, woolen gloves, woolen socks, trekking shoes / boots, sunglasses, etc.
In no circumstances will a sick porter be sent back alone, without someone who speaks his language and understands the problem.
Sufficient financial aid will be provided to any sick porter and a helper to cover the cost of their safe return and any required treatment.
