Piles of Wood, Nepal

Displayed:   times.

You will see these piles of wood that are cut up for cooking and making hot water. This isn't really an accomodation tip but it is here to help you make the decision of whether or not to use local cooking techniques. For them to cook your food and boil your water they cut down the trees which leads to deforestation of the area. Hopefully they will get going with some Reforestaion programs!! Many trekking companies offer treks that don't burn wood but they hire porters to carry propane for cooking.
