Special Notice
BE A GUEST!

The Minimum Impact Code
Awareness and responsibility are the first thing to take on your trek. Your example affects the locals’ attitude toward their culture and environment. Therefore, please apply these rules not only to yourself, but also make them a condition of your trekking staff. Remind other visitors of the importance of respecting the environment.

CONSERVE THE FOREST
• Don't light campfires: Cook with kerosene, and take sufficient warn clothing.
• Choose lodges that use alternatives to wood for cooking and heating. To save fuel, order the same meal for all    members of a group.

STOP POLLUTION
• Carry out what you carry in.
• Buy only what won't pollute, or carry it our. Purify water yourself instead of buying it bottled. Return batteries to    your home country for proper disposal.
• Use toilets wherever possible. In the wild, stay at least 50m away from water sources, and bury your waste.

PROTECT WILDLIFE
• Don't disturb wildlife.
• Don't hurt or remove animals and plants.
• Don't buy items made from wildlife parts.

RESPECT PEOPLE AND CULTURE
• Adopt local custom: Speak Nepali and local language to the best of your ability. Don't wear revealing clothes.    Save caresses for private moments.
• Respect privacy. Ask before photographing people or religious sites. Don't enter houses uninvited.
• Leave antiques where they belong.
• Discourage begging and encourage fair dealing.

Keep your eyes, ear and mind open: not only to learn from your hosts, but also to encourage right behavior. Consult ACAP staff, brochures and guide book for more detail on how to be a good guest.
