Sustainable Tourism is a special form of tourism which focuses on attempting to make the lowest possible impact on the culture and natural condition of one’s travel destination in Nepal. While doing so, you also aid the locals to engage in income-generation and empowerment.

Nepal allows for a multitude of travel destinations and welcomes thousands of tourists every year for this very purpose. As such, unhealthy tourism practices, whether intentional or not, are bound to affect the natural and cultural ethos of those destinations.

Sustainable Tourism with Nepal Alibaba Treks aims to keep such malpractices to a minimum and help thrive ethical approaches in tourism across the country. Keeping the endemic ecology intact and helping the cultural heritages to retain their originality allows for these riches to have a longer life expectancy. In the long run, sustainable tourism garners and preserves the bona fide traits of the travel destinations in Nepal.
