Eco- Tourism
The tourism boom in Nepal, as in other countries, has had a mixed blessing. It has generated a sizeable share of Nepal’s foreign currency revenue but few people in tourist destinations have experienced an improvement in their standard of living. In fact, for many communities, influx of visitors has come at a considerable cost.
In numerous places, trekking groups have left littered trails and degraded forest in their wake. Against this alarming backdrop, the practice of ecologically friendly-tourism has been gaining increased momentum – both in Nepal and around the World. Our approach to tourism seeks not only to preserve environment and culture of tourist destination but also to benefit the local population by fostering environmental awareness among both locals and visitors. By linking tourism to social and economic development, it is possible to preserve natural and cultural heritage of an area through promotion of sustainable tourism. This not only enhances positive experiences of those on holiday but also helps to raise the living standard of the local residents. As such lots have been said about environmentally friendly tourism and no doubt more will be said without hesitation, that we along with few other trekking companies in Nepal have led the way of responsible tours in our country.
Village Tourism
In addition to our trekking itineraries, we organize cultural tours and village to village walks which are less strenuous but equally rewarding. We provide the opportunity to visit remote villages where you can spend more time in a particular destination allowing more intimate glimpses into traditional village life. Generally the Village people are exceedingly friendly. They welcome you with their hearts and smiles and are always happy to share their music and dance for no reason at all. The exchange is reciprocal and villagers will often request our clients to join in with their own songs and dances for the benefit of all.
One of the examples of village tourism is Sirubari village which is inhabited by the Gurung community situated south of Pokhara at an altitude of 1700m. It is further three hours from the main trekking trails and offers excellent views of the Himalayan Peaks, including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu. One of the interesting aspects of visiting Sirubari is the opportunity of staying in the local’s houses as “Paying Guests”. The accommodation is simple but comfortable with good bedding and clean toilet facilities. The food is delicious and you will be eating as one of the family. Each night there will be entertainment provided by the community. This will be in the form of traditional Gurung and Nepali dancing and singing you can join in if you like!
During your stay you will be able to feel what it is like to live the life of a Nepali villager. Walk with your family while they go about their daily chores, tending animals, tilling the fields, going to school with the children, or just sitting in the sun talking with your neighbours.
The climate is ideal at any time during the September to June season with warm days and cool nights. Sirubari has established itself as a model village and has won the PATA-Gold Award 2001 in the Heritage & Culture – Heritage category.
Our packages are specifically designed to ensure that supplies are secured in the village communities we visit. This way we are able to support the preservation of the heritage and Nepalese culture while improving the living standards of the people.
