” let your holiday make a difference”
Tourism can help to develop the economy of Nepal. But if not carefully managed, tourism can also have a damaging impact on the country’s natural and cultural heritages.
Responsible tourism businesses try to minimize the impact of tourism on the environment and maximize employment and income-generating opportunities for local communities. The whole of Nepal can benefit from sustainable tourism, including those living in remote, rural areas that have very few other development opportunities.

Responsible Travel Nepal companies offer everything from trekking to rafting, bird watching tours to biking expeditions, cultural heritage excursions to jungle safaris and luxury hotel accommodation to village home-stays.
Please consider using an RTN-approved company to make sure your holiday helps protect the environment and creates jobs and income for local communities.
Highlander is passionate about sharing Himalayas but also passionate about preserving it. We take a leading position as the preferred partner for responsible travel in Nepalese highlands, promoting tourism in symbiosis with local communities. Our focus on the rural Nepal grants us an expertise other companies cannot match. We try and promote less frequented trekking route and destinations and select environmental friendly lodges on treks that acknowledge the needs of their staffs.
As our operation is basically based on off the beaten wild camping treks, we care about our staff, as they care for us. Our Nepal porters are fully kitted out for high altitude treks following the letter and spirit of the IPPG- International Porter Protection Group guidelines. During our treks and other trips we follow a zero garbage policy and leave nothing behind in the campsites.
