A Request from Acho: Help Preserve the Himalayas
-
At Acho Camping and Restaurant, we kindly ask all visitors to respect the fragile Himalayan environment. Here are some important guidelines to follow to help protect this beautiful region:
-
Do not disturb wildlife: The mountains are home to various species. Please observe from a distance and avoid any interference with their natural habitat.
-
Do not litter: Use the dustbins provided at the campsite. Avoid leaving any waste behind, whether on trails or in the wilderness.
-
Protect water sources: Do not throw garbage or pollute the river water, as it is the primary drinking source for villagers and wildlife. Keep the water clean for everyone.
-
Follow the “Leave No Trace” policy: Pack out all waste, minimize your impact, and leave the environment as you found it. Take only memories and leave only footprints.
-
Respect vegetation: Stay on designated paths and avoid trampling fragile plants and ecosystems. The high-altitude flora is delicate and takes years to recover.
-
Use biodegradable products: Avoid using harmful chemicals or plastics. Use eco-friendly toiletries and dispose of waste responsibly.
-
Minimize campfire impact: Use designated fire pits and never start fires in vulnerable areas. When possible, avoid open fires to prevent damage to the ecosystem.
