Giving back to the local community
Besides its objective to function as a specialist adventure and cultural tour operator, Himalayan Legend Trek (P) ltd is committed and dedicated to serve the nation as well by paying back it's local community. To enrich the objective, Himalayan Legend Trek (P) ltd has initiated a solely private project With the motto; "Development through Tourism", it is aimed to let rural people of Nepal benefit from tourism. This program would help the needy & deprived people especially in the rural part of the country by different forms of community service oriented projects. We wants to contribute a part of its profit to support the project and also hopes to get contributions from tourists groups, individuals, national and international institutions etc who seek to make a meaningful contribution towards Nepalese Rural Communities and help the country to step ahead for the sustainable development.

Environmental Consideration
Wonderful environment of the Himalayas is also an extremely fragile one. Increasing population density and number of trekkers threatens to destroy the very beauty which attracts us in the first place. At Himalayan Legend Trek (P) ltd, we are extremely environmentally conscious and aim to minimize our impact as much as possible.

As deforestation is one of greatest environmental threats, we do not have camp fires and use kerosene for cooking as an alternative fuel to wood. We also discourage trekkers from using wood-fuelled hot showers in lodges along the way. Many lodges, however, now provide solar hot showers, a far more eco-friendly alternative.


Garbage disposal is another major problem and some of the busier trails can, at times, appear strewn with litter. Our staff members are well motivated towards Eco-friendly practices. We carry out all our garbage, apart from that which can be safely and easily burnt at the campsite.
Our aim is to help protect and preserve this beautiful environment for future generations of trekkers to enjoy.

Care for Porters & Staff
We ensure that all porters and all other staff going above the tree line are provided with adequate clothing and equipment. We are the first ever company to supply high-altitude porters with crampons. We provide life insurance and emergency helicopter evacuation for our staff.

We run the trek according to the guidelines of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG - www.ippg.net).
