Care for trails & camps
Carry all litter back, including wrappers, tissues and food scraps. Use established paths and agreed campsites, and leave flowers, rocks and plants where they belong.
The mountains are more than a place to visit. They are a home, a livelihood and a living landscape. Small choices on every trip help protect what makes them special.
Whether you are walking to Triund, camping in the Dhauladhar or exploring villages and cultural sites, travel with respect for the people and places around you.
Carry all litter back, including wrappers, tissues and food scraps. Use established paths and agreed campsites, and leave flowers, rocks and plants where they belong.
Ask before photographing people, homes or ceremonies. Follow guidance at monasteries and temples, dress appropriately and keep noise low in villages and sacred places.
Choose local shops, food and services where practical. Treat guides, porters, cooks and drivers with respect, and agree arrangements clearly before your trip.
Watch animals quietly from a distance. Do not feed, chase or disturb wildlife. Keep food secure and avoid activities that encourage animals to perform or be handled.
Bring a reusable bottle and ask about suitable refill arrangements. Use water and electricity sparingly, and avoid unnecessary single-use packaging.
Respect closures, route restrictions and your guide’s instructions. Be prepared to change plans when weather, trail access or local advice makes that necessary.
Leave places as you would hope to find them. A guide or local host can help you understand the expectations of each route, campsite and community. Ask when you are unsure.
Manu Adventures India’s responsible travel policy centres on local involvement, fair treatment of staff, respect for culture and care for the environment.
Our aim is to make these principles part of trip planning and the choices made along the way.
We value the work of local guides, support staff and suppliers. Fair pay, respectful treatment and appropriate working conditions are central to our policy.
We ask travellers to reduce waste, conserve resources and follow guidance on trails and campsites. Looking after the landscape is a shared responsibility.
Our policy recognises animal welfare and the importance of respecting local traditions. Community visits should be considerate and guided by local wishes.
Thoughtful preparation helps you understand what to expect and what to carry back.
Our existing responsible travel photographs reflect time spent with local communities and caring for mountain surroundings. Ask the team about any current activities before planning to take part.
Share your travel dates, group size and interests. Ask us about route conditions, preparation and responsible choices for your trek or tour.
