Our engagements
Since its inception, Base Camp Trek has taken seriously the threats to the Himalayan environment and ensured that the economic benefits of tourism are redistributed to local people. Base Camp Trek is involved in various projects supported by several associations.
Garuda Nepal:
For many years, the French association Garuda France has supported different projects in Nepal: football for street children, training workshops for women, a home for children with disabilities, schooling, etc.
After the April 2015 earthquake and following a surge of spontaneous generosity, Garuda distributed food, seeds, and emergency shelters for three months. Today, we concentrate our efforts on rehabilitating four schools and a dispensary in the region of Kavre.

Plastic Free Zone:
Born from a local initiative that resulted in the banishment of plastic bags and bottles from Chhomrong to the Annapurna Sanctuary. Base Camp is committed to the continuation of this project and extends it to the West. Recently, the Myagdi region has in turn freed itself from this pollutant that damages the Himalayas.

Act for Responsible Tourism:
Base Camp Trek, a member of the association Acting for Responsible Tourism, aims to encourage the development of sustainable tourism in the host regions, so that the economic benefits are most appropriately distributed among the actors of the trip, to inform the customer transparently and sincerely among others.

Reforestation at Annapurnas:
At the foot of Annapurna, Base Camp supports a reforestation project. The municipalities set up nurseries and allocated land to replant the trees in the ground by protecting them from fences. Base Camp is committed to planting a tree for each of its customers.
