Locals are Hired and Paid
We involve a large number of local guides, rangers, drivers, nomads porters, horsemen and horsewomen in our work for travelers. Locals of Tibetans and Han Chinese are now paid on the same level and paid well. The vast land of Garze and Ngawa (Tibetan Highland of West Sichuan) are home to most of the natural wonders and good trekking places where we keep good relations with the local people.
Locals are hired to work on our trips.
The Sustainable Hiking
The hiking destinations in Sichuan are located at the traditional Tibetan and Qiang areas where Tibetan people and Qiang People live. Your travel/hiking trip into these places is making contribute to local economy. We promote a clean and green approach to a sustainable travel style by setting rules within our team on clearing up the trash, avoiding using excessive packaging, planning well on food and careful use of fire.
1, Modernization increases local people’s living standard with more convenient transportation, more travelers, more job opportunities, and then more pollution. When management is poor (the present issue) the environment is under pressure.
2, Over-tourism especially in the mountains, nature, wild places where it’s not possible to be maintained have seen big pollution by hikers (mainly domestic hikers), this result into shutting of mountains, and beautiful nature reserves.
Busy Campsite is common by the "famous" hiking places.
3, The slowly increasing sense of environment protection of local people as well as that of the travelers.
