 Read & Submit Stories About Your Trip!
HHT Trail Tales is where we publish well-written short stories and essays from the personal experiences of our own participants. Stop by and read more about the places you can visit or compare your impressions with others. Write your own — share your trek experiences with other HHT travelers and we can present and illustrate it here!

  The lucky ones among us are blessed with a curiosity, desire and means to explore a vast and amazing world. We travel to extraordinary, far-flung places to absorb nature's majesty and the eloquence of cultures struggling to avoid commercialization or oblivion. Recent evidence has been a stark reminder for us all — that "every action has a reaction" and that one can no longer take for granted, the resources we once so-freely exhausted.
Speaking of exhaust: In addition to personal awareness and conservation, you can help offset the real effects of your lengthy air travel by considering and purchasing "carbon credits" from a reputable, Earth-conscious agency.

At HHT we like Terrapass (try their 'calculator').
Zerofootprint is also a good website, reviewing different organizations
and options. We hope that you consider this insightful notion
as a personal opportunity and choice you have at your disposal &mdash
to help offset the effects of your air travel.

  For some more ideas on minimizing the effects of travel on the Earth's wildlife, cultures and resources, we suggest visiting Ethical Traveler.
Ethical Traveler is a grass–roots alliance uniting adventurers, tourists, travel agencies, and outfitters — everyone who loves to travel, and sees travel as a positive force in the world. Take a look at some fresh, new ideas that you can put into practice when you take your next adventure! Use your economic power to help strengthen human rights and do more to help protect the places you want to visit.

  For an interesting glimpse at our staff and their families,
here is an interesting article written and first published by the Bend (Oregon) Bulletin about Ganga Tamang, brother of HHT's trip leader, Amber Tamang. Ganga is currently a student at the University of Oregon
and a long way from his home in Lumsa, Nepal. Read about it here.
