Porters play a crucial role in trekking, expeditions, and other adventure tourism activities, as they shoulder most of a trekker's baggage through diverse and hazardous terrains. Recognizing their indispensable contribution and treating them respectfully and fairly is imperative. Unfortunately, many porters face severe exploitation, including issues like being underpaid, overloaded with excessive baggage, underfed, and poorly sheltered during treks. Moreover, they often need more proper gear and equipment, such as worn-out boots and torn jackets. At Ethic Himalaya, we prioritize the well-being of our porters, showing them genuine care and respect, which sets us apart from other tour companies. By treating our porters with dignity and providing them with the support they need, we have built a strong bond of trust, making them prefer working with us.
