Help Porters :
Nepal Sanctuary Treks encourage travelers, traveling to Nepal to bring
their old/used warm cloths such as waterproof jacket, pants, sweaters,
gloves, hats, sunglasses, socks and shoes to donate porters that you
use them while trekking in remote and high altitude or donate it to
The Porters Clothing Band which provides porters with warm clothing,
run by International Porters Protection Group based Kathmandu.
Most of the porters are illiterate, unskilled labor from middle hills,
are poor, not equipped for the environment of high altitude that they
are in and have more risks of illness and accident. Nepal Sanctuary
Treks has been supporting them with Insurance for medical attention
and enough warm clothing. We also encourage our trek guides to teach
them common courtesy, altitude sickness, hypothermia, frostbite and
their preventions, hygienic awareness, and significant of environment.
Mr. Peter Clark-a teacher from Island School, Hong Kong and a
very good friend of Nepal Sanctuary Treks, collects new/used warm cloths
in Hong Kong and brings them to Kathmandu to support porters.
