As a responsible traveler, minimizing plastic use is an important step in reducing your environmental footprint while traveling in Nepal. Our team at Mount Elegance Treks and Expedition wants to share some tips and best practices on how to minimize plastic use while traveling in Nepal.

Simple Changes with a Big Impact:

Refuse Single-Use Plastics: Refuse single-use plastics such as plastic bags, water bottles, and straws. Instead, opt for reusable alternatives like cloth bags, refillable water bottles, and metal or paper straws.
 Bring a Reusable Water Bottle: Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it instead of buying plastic bottles. Many trekking routes and villages have access to safe drinking water.
Use Biodegradable Soap: Use biodegradable soap and shampoo to reduce the amount of plastic waste generated by bathroom products.
 Avoid Microbeads: Avoid products containing microbeads, which can harm the environment and aquatic life.

Nepalese Alternatives:

Use DuraPulse Bags: Use DuraPulse bags, a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bags, which are widely available in Nepal.
 Buy Local, Refillable Containers: Buy local, refillable containers for snacks and drinks instead of single-use plastic packaging.
Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations: Choose eco-friendly accommodations that have implemented sustainable practices, such as reducing plastic use and promoting recycling.
