RESPONS Trekking
RESPONS offers a different, responsible way of trekking. Regular trekking involves merely using resources from the visited areas and just passing through the communities along the road. RESPONSible trekking involves maximum use of local resources and staying with local families. This maximises both the experience of the visitors and the benefits for the communities traversed along the way.
