RESPONSIBLE TOURISM & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

As it becomes everyone’s responsibility within the tourism industry, responsible tourism is essential. To raise awareness and preserve a clean and healthy living environment, we support programs, routinely take part in clean-up initiatives, and start them. We have run numerous community support and welfare projects as a responsible organization. To learn more about our corporate social responsibility, click the link.

We continue to provide better travel options by reducing our environmental effect thanks to our green policies. We are always mindful of the influence we have on the environment and keep group sizes to a maximum of 15 on each and every one of our treks and tours.

Here are just a few environmental policies that we follow:

Use of energy saving CFL bulbs at our office. After office hours, all power sources are switched off.
Minimizing the use of paper by using soft copies for official communications as much as possible and creating online brochures and e-newsletters.
Use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cooking and heating purposes to protect the forest while camping. This eliminates wood fires and reduces gas emissions.
Rubbish is placed in bins provided, unless at high altitudes where the rubbish is disposed of at the nearest facility, whether in a town or in a hotel.
Trekkers and tour groups are advised to remove unnecessary packaging and store items in reusable containers.
Make sure that water sources (creeks and rivers) are not polluted by throwing rubbish.
Advising clients to use water containers for boiled/treated water instead of buying bottled water while trekking in remote areas and at high altitudes.

OUR COMMUNITY & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We believe in giving back to society. As part of our Corporate Social responsibility a part of our profit goes towards funding the projects in various remote parts of Nepal. We help to build schools, toilets, libraries and community drinking water facilities for areas in different parts of remote Nepal.

Up to 10% of Green Getaways annual revenue goes directly towards maintenance of school buildings, building toilets and drinking water facilities, sponsoring the education of students from disadvantaged backgrounds etc. in Nepal’s remote villages.

We also collaborate with local government and national tourism organizations to organize various community based tourism activities in Nepal. On a broader scenario, we aim to ensure sustainable tourism policies at local, regional and national level.
