 Website Photography Credits!
The photographs you see adorning the HHT website
were all taken and made available to us by numerous participants who have enjoyed HHT trips over the years. We use real photographs from real participants to assure you that the sights and situations you enjoy on our site are those you will actually encounter on your own trek. No actors. No gimmicks!

We would like to acknowledge and thank our good friends for allowing us the privilege of including their imagery on our website: Dana Isherwood, Lisa Nelbach, Sarah Brooks,
Amber Tamang, JoAnneh Nagler, Alan Steinbrugge,
Effie Fletcher, Gary Loth, Kate Twain, Helen Moss,
Joe Fischer, Dr. Joel Adelson and Dr. Marc Irwin.

Thanks friends!

 Read & Post 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 will 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!

  Join with your friends from around the globe huddled by warm glow of the the HHT Campfire — the Himalayan High Treks Chat Room. It's our place to chat live with online friends — share experiences, offer suggestions, compare notes and maybe roast a marshmallow or two. Get a cup of tea and stop in to say Hi! On the road? Plan to meet here to communicate live with friends at home or away! The HHT Campfire link will open a new window. Close any opened windows after your chat to return 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.
