Sustainability has always been at the heart of everything we do. We want everyone to trek in a way where they not only leave no trace, but they leave mountains better than they found them. This is the mission of our Green Trails initiative. 

The most visible impact of the Green Trails initiative has been the removal of over 100 tonnes of litter from trekking trails. Everyday, even as you read this, our team, including our trekkers, are cleaning up trails with the help of our iconic Eco bags. While picking up litter is easy, they further do the most difficult work — they segregate the waste for the right way of disposal. 

But Green Trails goes much beyond cleaning up of trails. Indiahikes works with sustainability at its core, whether it is in how we source our equipment, what we cook, how we buy provisions, or how we manage human waste at high altitudes. The Golden 6 Practices below will give you a clearer picture of the far-reaching impact of Green Trails.
