Environmental Considerations
Nepal's environment is extremely fragile. The rapidly increasing population puts immeasurable pressure on the country's environment and resources and it is our responsibility as visitors to minimise the impact of our presence. Deforestation is Nepal's greatest environmental problem and World Expeditions pioneered the use of kerosene as an alternative fuel to wood on all expeditions. We do not have camp fires and we strongly discourage trekkers from buying wood-fuelled hot showers that they may encounter. We do not use wood for cooking or heating water whilst in lodges but use kerosene stoves that we carry with us.
We carry our own food supplies in order to maintain high hygiene standards and meal quality, and do not deplete local resources.
