As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Goreto Educational Consultancy organized an environmental awareness program with a clear and meaningful motto: “Save Nature for Our Children, Keep It Untouched and Unspoiled.”
This CSR activity reflects a simple belief Goreto stands for: real progress is not only about education and career growth, but also about protecting the community and environment we live in.
The program was conducted on 24th January at one of Kathmandu’s most loved and scenic hiking routes, the Champadevi Hiking Trail. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty, Champadevi is also a trail that deserves better care from all of us who visit it.

A Hike With a Purpose: The Cleanup Journey
More than 44 team members of Goreto Educational Consultancy came together for this campaign. This was not only a hike, but a practical action program. While walking the trail, the team collected and brought down over 300 kg of waste that had been left behind on the route.
As the team walked along the Champadevi Hiking Trail, they collected waste scattered across the route and brought it down safely. By the end of the program, more than 300 kg of trash was removed from the trail. The waste included beer bottles, water bottles, snack and fast-food wrappers, tobacco-related plastics, and other non-biodegradable items that damage natural spaces and remain in the environment for a long time.
This initiative was Goreto’s direct contribution to protecting Kathmandu’s hiking trails and reminding hikers that nature should be enjoyed with responsibility. Keeping the trail clean is not only about beauty. It is about safety, respect, and protecting Nepal’s environment for everyone who hikes today and for the generations that will hike tomorrow.
A Small Step for a Trail, A Big Step for Nepal
Nepal’s hills, trails, and trekking routes are part of our identity. Places like Champadevi are not only for weekend hikes. They are natural spaces that children will grow up with, and tourists will remember as part of Nepal.
This CSR awareness program was conducted with one clear purpose: to protect Nepal’s hiking trails for future generations. Through this campaign, we aimed to encourage a clean trail culture and remind everyone that nature deserves respect. When we carry our waste back and keep trails untouched, we protect the beauty of Nepal and the pride that comes with it.
What This CSR Campaign Stands For
Through this CSR campaign, Goreto Educational Consultancy aims to deliver practical messages to hikers, local and central authorities, watchdog groups, and civil society. The message is not complicated. It is about doing the right thing consistently.
| CSR message | What it means |
|---|
| Keep hiking trails clean | Trails should remain neat, tidy, and trash-free |
| Protect natural beauty | Avoid unnecessary artificial structures that disturb nature |
| Maintain natural tracks | Preserve stone steps and natural routes where possible |
| Improve waste systems | Regular waste management and strict rules are needed |
| Support greener habits | Tree plantation and responsible trail behavior must be ongoing |
The campaign also highlighted something we should think about as Nepalese. Countries like Norway and Scotland have worked with Nepali Sherpa experts to build natural stone steps and trail paths that look clean, safe, and still feel natural. Their work blends with the environment instead of covering the trail with heavy cement or too many artificial structures. If our own people have the skill and experience to help build better trails in other countries, then Nepal can also use that same local knowledge here at home. We do not need to copy everything from outside. We can improve our hiking trails using our own workers, our own stonework skills, and designs that respect nature.
The main idea is simple: develop trails in a way that protects the original beauty of the route. When we use local expertise and natural materials, we keep the trail authentic, we protect the environment, and we create something that future generations can be proud of.
Hiking and Trekking: A Big Part of Nepal’s Identity
Hiking and trekking are a big part of Nepal’s identity. Our trails are not only weekend routes, they are also a major reason why people visit Nepal. They support tourism, create income for local communities, and strengthen Nepal’s image as a country of nature and mountains.
A clean trail culture also shapes the next generation. When children grow up seeing clean and respected hiking routes, they learn good habits like outdoor fitness, discipline, and care for nature. For tourists, clean and natural trails create a stronger first impression and a better overall experience.
When trails stay clean, safe, and close to their natural form, everyone benefits: hikers enjoy the journey, local businesses grow, and Nepal’s natural pride stays protected for the future.
Leadership and Co-ordination
This CSR program was carried out under the leadership of Mr. Dhiraj Kandel, CEO of Goreto Educational Consultancy, along with Co-partner Mr. Prakash Regmi. With their guidance, the entire team worked together with one shared purpose. From planning to trail cleanup and waste collection, teamwork was clearly seen at every step. The program showed how Goreto works as one team and strengthened our commitment to community and environmental responsibility.
Conclusion: Small actions, Real impact
Goreto Educational Consultancy believes that CSR is not only a formal responsibility. It is a practical choice to do something meaningful for society. The Champadevi CSR awareness program showed what teamwork can achieve when people work with a shared purpose.
By bringing together 44+ team members and collecting 300 kg+ waste, Goreto took one clear step toward protecting Kathmandu’s hiking trails. The bigger goal is to inspire a long-term change in how we treat nature.
If we want our children to inherit clean trails, fresh air, and real natural beauty, we all have to play our part. Save nature for our children, and keep it untouched and unspoiled.
The 3-Piece Rule:
Next time you hike, bring down 3 pieces of trash even if it isn’t yours.
That’s how clean trail culture starts.
