tourist class hotels and inns where there are not high standard hotels. But
in cities like Islamabad/Rawalpindi, we provide hotels ranging from 4star to
5star hotels. During camps, you will have the best quality tents to have a
good night stay.
Environmental Concerns
Campers are lucky to visit the most beautiful, and fragile spots on the
earth and the least respect for these unspoiled places will be, to keep them
very much natural. Your sensitivity for the immediate surrounding should
influence every one around, and your little initiative will create more
awareness in your porters, and local people, and help in going through the
following procedures with your local field staff.
Do not leave anything except your foot prints on the trail, and do not
take any thing except photos and refuse.
Encourage biodegradable or burnable packing.
Do not leave waste burning to the last moment, process all your litter,
dig latrine pits, burn paper, collect plastic, tins, and bag them for
carrying out.
Dig toilet holes where necessary at least 50 meters away from the camp,
and cover them with the pile of earth at departure.
Carry plastic bags to collect any toilet papers, and chocolate/candy
wrapping used during the day, and burn them at the camp.
Go well away from the trail and the camp for peeing in order to avoid
unpleasant stench.
