Opinions of the residence
The opinions and attitudes of local people towards trekking can vary depending on the region and culture. In some areas, trekking may be a common activity and a source of income for locals who provide guiding and porter services, while in other areas, it may be less common.
In general, local people may have mixed feelings towards trekking. On the one hand, they may appreciate the economic benefits that trekking can bring to their communities through tourism. On the other hand, they may also be concerned about the impact that trekking can have on the environment and the local culture.
Some local people may also have reservations about the behavior of some trekkers, such as littering, disrespecting local customs, or not following designated trails. In such cases, it’s important for trekkers to be respectful and mindful of local customs and traditions, and to minimize their impact on the environment.
Ultimately, the best way to gain an understanding of the local attitudes towards trekking is to engage in respectful communication with the locals and to learn from their perspective.
