The Everest trekking trails are managed by local village councils. These stewards are responsible for trail repairs and waste management, ensuring the Mount Everest expedition industry remains sustainable.
The small fee you pay in Monjo and Lukla goes directly to these village groups. They use the funds to rebuild suspension bridges and clear landslides, keeping the route to the Mount Everest summit open.
To prevent over-crowding, village stewards regulate the construction of new lodges. This ensures that Everest trekking remains a high-quality experience and protects the local culture of the Khumbu region.
These leaders are the first to see the impact of climate change on the glaciers. They are the strongest advocates for sustainable Mount Everest expedition practices, protecting their home for future generations.
Your journey to the Mount Everest summit is made possible by the hard work of these village stewards. Respect their rules and contribute to the local economy to help them succeed.
