TREKKERS IN THE MOUNTAINS LIKE TO TAKE A NICE

SHOWER AT THE END OF A HARD DAY’S TREK IN THE

SCORCHING HEAT. BUT MANY VILLAGES LACK PROPER

SHOWER FACILITIES. THEREFORE, SLC-IT HAS PROVIDED

SOLAR-SHOWER FACILITIES IN SELECTED VILLAGES ALONG

TREKKING TRAILS. THIS IS AN ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE

TO BATHING IN STREAMS, WHICH POLLUTES THE WATER

AND AFFECTS PEOPLE AND OTHER ANIMALS LIVING

DOWNSTREAM. THE VILLAGERS CHARGE TOURISTS A

MINIMAL FEE FOR USING THE SHOWERS. THUS, IT SERVES

AS AN ADDITIONAL GREEN SOURCE OF INCOME. THE SOLAR

SHOWERS ARE INDISPENSABLE FOR TOURISTS WHO VISIT

THE VILLAGES IN WINTER TO SEE THE SNOW LEOPARDS.

WHEN NOT USED BY TOURISTS, THE VILLAGERS

THEMSELVES CAN AVAIL THE FACILITIES.
