Plastic Free Himalaya, founded in 2014, is a Nepali NGO focusing on raising global awareness on the damages of plastic for Nepal fragile ecosystem, promote alternative solutions and empower local communities towards sustainable tourism and development for future generations.

Our goal is to rid the Himalayas of contaminants and promote tourism that benefits both the local population and tourists in a sustainable and responsible manner. We aim to follow in the footsteps of Bangladesh, Ladakh and Bhutan who have stamped successful “plastic free” bans and taken a step toward sustainable and responsible tourism.

Plastic Free Himalaya is a work in progress; the challenges will be continually changing. Today the culprits are plastic bags and plastic water bottles that are littered throughout our hills, lakes, valleys, streams and villages. We aim to build a strong campaign; gain local, regional, national, and international partners to make the Himalayas free of contaminants.

Mission

To generate awareness, promote sustainable solutions, tourism and development – focusing on plastic pollution in economically feasible way.

Vision

 Envision to make our Himalayas cleaner and sustainable as they once were.
