Responsible Travel and Tourism are synonymous with Responsible Tourism. These two terms are buzz terms in recent Tourism and Travel. Fundamentally, Responsible Tourism or Responsible Travel emphasizes sustainable travel or ecotourism. Modern people are quite indifferent towards ethical issues such as wildlife, volunteerism, sanitation, conservation, and many more serious issues.

Likewise, Individual porters will carry a maximum of 15 – 20 kg. This is relatively lightweight so that he can take good care of the individual trekker. The porter will be walking next to the individual trekker and assist a lot in every step of your journey. This is the way of ensuring the safety of each trekker in the Himalayas. If any problem occurs, the individual porter will take care of it and immediately inform the leader.
