Leaving the Khumbu Better Than You Found It
The era of the 'messy' Mount Everest expedition is over. New low-impact camping techniques are making Everest trekking more sustainable and ensuring the Mount Everest summit remains a symbol of pristine nature.
Leading expeditions are replacing gas stoves with solar induction cookers at Base Camp. This reduces the carbon footprint and the need for heavy fuel transport along the Everest trekking trails.
Modern teams are now required to weigh their gear out and back. This ensures that every piece of plastic and equipment is removed from the high camps of the Mount Everest summit route.
Even in the teahouse sector, 'Eco-Lodges' that use greywater recycling and pellet stoves are the preferred choice for responsible Everest trekking groups. Your booking choices drive change.
We all want to see the Mount Everest summit, but we must protect the ground we walk on. Choose low-impact operators for your next Mount Everest expedition.
