Campsite
Remember the other party will be using the same campsite after you have vacated it. Therefore, leave the campsite cleaner than you found it.

Limit Deforestation
Make no open fires and discourage others from doing so on your behalf. Where water is heated by scarce firewood, use as little as possible. When possible, choose accommodation that uses kerosene or fuel efficient fire-wood stoves.

In a safe place burn dry paper & packets
Bury other waste paper and biodegradable material including food. Carry back all non-biodegradable litter. If you come across other people's rubbish, remove their rubbish as well. Keep local water clean and avoid using pollutants such as detergents in streams or springs. If no toilet facilities are available, make sure you are at least 30 meters away from water sources and bury or cover wastes.

Plants should be left to flourish in their natural environment
Taking cutting, seeds and roots is illegal in many parts of the Himalayas.

Help your guides and porters to follow conservation measures
Do not allow the cooks or porters to throw garbage in the nearby stream or river.

The Himalayas may change you-please do not change them.
Respect local traditions, protect local cultures, and maintain local pride.

When taking photographs, respect privacy
Ask permission and use restraint.

Respect Holy Places
Preserve what you have come to see, never touch or remove religious objects, remove shows when visiting temples.

Refrain from giving money to children since it will encourage begging
A donation to a project, health center or a school is a more constructive way to help.

Respect for local etiquette earns you respect
Loose, light-weight clothes are preferable to revealing shorts, skimpy tops and tight fitting action wear. Hands holding or kissing in public are unapproved by local people.
