Welcome to the Mountain Porter Blog



I have created this blog for posting and discussing articles and comments on men and women, who work as porters, particularly in the trekking trade in Nepal, Tanzania and Peru. These people need your help. They work very hard for little money. All day they carry loads up and down mountains, so tourists can see Everest, Machu Pichuu, Kilimanjaro, etc.

How can you help? Support IMEC, Porters Progress, IPPG and, of course, The Mountain Fund. These are the groups working hard to change the unfair and oppressive conditions under which porters labor around the world. Thanks, Scott - The Mountain Fund
