Porters keep tourists moving. But who looks after them?

Thousands of porters support Nepal’s trekking industry, yet many still work without proper gear, fair wages, or full knowledge of their rights. KEEP is trying to change that.

Altitudes over 5,000 meters, snow, and temperatures well below zero. Trekkers in hiking boots, down jackets, and small backpacks walk slowly, saving their energy and breathing heavily.
