CELEBRATE YOUR PORTER!
If portering were an Olympic endurance weight lifting event, the mountain porter would win all the medals!

Celebrate and admire these incredible athletes of the mountains. Watch them in action, appreciate the balance, strength and of course, their good nature! Try picking up a load yourself!

Portering is an important part of the economy. Employ porters, support the tradition and take good care of them!

MEDIA!
While we welcome the media to use the newsletters and our web site as a source of information, please remember that porters depend on trekkers for their livelihood and beating up tales of exploitation can have a very negative effect. IPPG encourages people to go trekking and make a real difference to the lives of these remarkable people.
