Responsible travel: seven habits for the trail
Small things that keep a path usable for the next walker.
Carry out what you carry in. That includes fruit peel, tissues and small plastics.
Stay on the path. Short-cuts cause erosion, and paths in sacred or fragile places are marked for a reason.
Use a local guide where one is expected, and pay the published fee.
Do not touch or climb on heritage structures, such as bridges, walls or carvings.
Keep your distance from wildlife, and never feed it.
Respect closures. Weather and rockfall closures exist because people have been hurt.
Ask before you photograph people, and thank them.
Prices, dates, permits and rules change — approximate, verify before you travel. Researched from public sources; field verification pending.
