Climber Contribution Fee
We ask climbers to consider a minimum contribution of $3 per climber as a KRTO Climber Contribution Fee. This fee directly supports the following initiatives:
- Fair Wages: Ensuring porters are paid fair wages in accordance with our guidelines.
- Proper Gear: Providing porters with the necessary gear and clothing to safely and comfortably undertake their work.
- Education and Training: Offering training programs for porters on safety, first aid, and environmental conservation practices.
- Advocacy and Awareness: Raising awareness among climbers and tour operators about the importance of ethical climbing practices.

Climber Contribution Program
The Climber Contribution Program is key to sustaining our work. Climbers add a small voluntary contribution in support of porter welfare, we connect ethical tourism to real, positive change. These contributions help fund vital activities like monitoring, education, equipment lending, and advocacy.
It also gives clients a chance to be part of our mission, which strengthens the trust and credibility around your ethical commitment. Together, these contributions help us respond to needs and keep the program strong.
