Don't forget about us when it comes to planning your adventures. We specialize in organizing unforgettable journeys to the Everest Base Camp
Tourism at Everest Base Camp has grown since it was opened to the outside world. That has boosted the local economy and living standards. However, the influx of tourists has contributed to social, economic, and environmental issues.
More tourist pressure can inevitably put pressure on the fragile natural environment. Porters and guides are also low wages. At present, the responsibility lies with everyone who visits Everest Base Camp. If it carries on like this, tourism in the Everest Base Camp will inevitably cause negative environmental impacts and deteriorate people's experience.
Likewise, it is not good to encourage giving money to the local people encountered on visits to villages. This encourages begging instead, buying local handicrafts from the locals. But also think twice before buying a souvenir. Beautiful shahtoosh shawls are woven in the Himalayas from the wool of the Tibetan Antelope, or chiru. These are now endangered as a result of hunting for their precious wool. So do not buy anything that harms wildlife.
