Do And Don't
Nepal is here to change you not for you to change
it.
The tourism boom in Nepal, as in other countries,
has had a mixed blessing. It has generated a
sizeable share of Nepali’s foreign currency revenue
but few people in the tourist destinations have
experienced an improvement in their standard of
living.
In fact, for many communities, the influence 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 eco-tourism
has been gaining increased momentum – both in Nepal
and around the World. This alternative type of
tourism seeks not only to preserve the environment
and culture of a tourist destination but also to be
of benefit to the local population…. By fostering
environmental awareness, both among locals &
visitors and by linking tourism to social and
economic development, it is possible to preserve the
natural and cultural heritage of an area through the
promotion of sustainable tourism. This not only
enhances the positive experience of those on holiday
it also helps to increase the standard of living of
the local residents.
Respect local traditions, customs, values and
sentiments to help them protect local culture and
maintain local pride.
• Respect privacy when taking photographs
• Respect holy places
• Refrain from giving money to children as it
encourages begging
• Respect for the local etiquette earns you respect
• Let the Himalayas change you - Do not change them
• Protect the natural environment
• Leave the campsite cleaner than you found it
• Limit deforestation - make no open fires
• Burn dry paper and packets in a safe place
• Keep local water clean and avoid using pollutants
• Plants should be left to flourish in their natural
environment |
