Six Programmes

Our Programmes

Each one is run with local partners, open to volunteers, and designed so the work continues after we leave.

Six Programmes

Practical, local, repeated

Each one is run with local partners, open to volunteers, and designed so the work continues after we leave.

01

Responsible Tourism

Carry it out, tread lightly, spend locally, made standard rather than exceptional, with the operators who set the norms their clients follow.

02

Trail & Destination Clean-Ups

Litter at altitude is a waste-management failure, not an eyesore. We collect it, sort it, and route it into a real disposal chain.

03

Zero Waste & Eco-Crafts

Most waste in Nepal is material in the wrong place with no economics attached to moving it. We attach the economics, and the income.

04

Tree Plantation & Greening

Planting a tree is easy. Keeping it alive for five years is the entire job, so nothing goes in the ground without a local partner responsible for it.

05

Guide & Porter Well-Being

The physical risks of the job are documented. The mental health cost (seasonal income, isolation, high-consequence decisions) is almost entirely undiscussed.

06

Women, Youth & Inclusion

Not just present but leading, in the clean-up crews, the crafts workshops, and the community groups that own the plantations.

The work is physical, local and always short-handed.
