I respect and appreciate India Hikes for their commitment to keep moutains clean. Everyone must trek but everyone must shoulder this responsibility to trek sustainably.
Video Summary : Things to NOT get on treks: 1. Packaged foods - ( biscuits, chips, etc ) 2. Wet wipes - ( instead get a toilet paper roll) 3. Sanitary Pads
Thanks for this valuable reminder! I'm getting ready for my trek on October 6th with Indiahikes, and I appreciate the emphasis on sustainable practices. It's a great call to action for all trekkers to be more conscious of what we bring with us, ensuring we keep the trails pristine. I’ll be sure to follow these tips and pack responsibly. Can't wait for the adventure ahead!
A growing problem I have noticed is the dumping of kitchen/food waste at campsites above 4000m like Kedar Kharak. Even though this waste is biodegradable, it rots for a long time at the high altitude campsites..
I can say with full confidence that India Hikes has done lot of research on every aspect of trekking. Your words reflect that. It’s perfectly ok to be strict with trekkers to be serious to protect our environment and mountains ❤️🫡🙏🏼
Greetings. I just completed the full Annapurna Circuit and loved it. I met many wonderful people, saw amazing peaks and valleys. I would like to add another item to NOT bring: your wife.
First of I appreciate your efforts to make himalayan region pollution free and work towards sustainability through your great initiative Green Trails. I would like to give One suggestion for managing plastic wrappers collected by you during the trek is to fill these plastic wrappers in empty Plastic Pet Bottles of 1 litre or 2 litre like of bisleri, aquafina, etc. When filled these plastic bottles can be used as eco bricks which can then be used to make benches or tables at public places or schools, etc. Plus carrying them from the trek becomes easy as thousands of wrappers can be stuffed in one plastic bottle. Also please keep in mind that the wrappers must be dry so that they do not rot or produce harmful byproduct. Thanks and hope you apply this method from your next trek.
I don't understand, I never leave any packets anywhere and always bring them back at home, be it in Himalaya or even when I am just out to my kirana store. I carry few dry foods like black raisins or walnuts which I like to snack while trekking, and I make sure to bring the packets with me back to my home.
Okay, IK i'm not a woman so i might not answer correctly (forgive me if it is so), but i'll try my best. First of all, no, dumping out the blood while also washing it with some water reduces the smell. Also if you don't use water on it (as you'll be using a dry pit), the soil is gonna soak up the liquid blood and the residue will get degraded in a very short time. So even if an animal does digup the pits, there won't be any matter where a sanitary napkin ends up in its mouth or stomach. Secondly, if in any case you think you've to dump the menstrual cup, you dont need to. As much as ik, those are made for reusing again n again a couple of days. Also, if your flow is over and now you want to dump the cups or stop using them. Just wash them with water and store them in a small plastic bag or ziplock with you, and when you get down, then dump it in the dustbin. Thirdly, if not wanting to go through the hussle of washing them daily for reuse, go for sanitary pads, although you'll have to do the second step again in this case. Just whatever you choose for your ease miss, make sure you're not harming the nature around you. **HAPPY TREKKING**♥️
Some topics deserve more time because the explanations and the thought behind needs attention. 7mins is not a long video when people consume 3hr long bollywood nonsense.

I understand the humour. But can you please elaborate on your thoughts? I ask genuinely.

thoughtful and wonderful initiative! I sure will follow this.
Great information we'll surely follow these rules in our upcoming treks.

Glad it was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Om Namah Shivaya 🙏🙏
Please kindly add plastic packed water disposable bottles and plastic straws...
You really care a lot
What about menstrual cups? Do they attract animals when you dump out the blood?
Okay, IK i'm not a woman so i might not answer correctly (forgive me if it is so), but i'll try my best.

Unnecessarily long video
