Report Abuse

Every year, porters working in the adventure trekking and mountaineering industries in the Himalaya and Karakoram mountains die or suffer serious long-term injuries simply because of the lack of adequate support. Khurpa Care (Pakistan) and Porters' Progress (Nepal), are two organizations that work to generate awareness and improve working conditions within the adventure tourism industry in northern Pakistan and Nepal.

Join Ken MacDonald (founder of Khurpa Care) and Ben Ayers (founder of Porters Progress) for an evening of slides and discussion on the work of these women and men, the high mountains they travel through, and what can be done to address exploitation within the adventure tourism industry in the mountains of South Asia.
