IPPG News 27/07/2000

Come and see the IPPG Photo exhibition "Celebrating the Mountain Porter" at the famous Yak & Yeti hotel in Kathmandu.

Opens September 30th, runs until October 5th
(10 am - 6 pm).

Featuring famous photographers from all around the world.

Update: Sample photos are now available online!

Looking into the crystal ball, it would seem that the way of the future for tourism operators is combining adventure holidays with practical and well thought out aid to the communities visited.
It is IPPG's wish to promote an ethical and sustainable trekking industry to benefit all concerned. Please help to achieve this end by encouraging people to go trekking and to care for their porters.
