This manual is a useful guidebook to rural technologies suitable not only for mountain areas involved in tourism but for other areas of the mountains also. It commences by examining tourism and its impacts and the relevance of alternative technologies in this context. The second chapter deals with energy-related technologies and the implications of their use in mountain areas.

The third chapter deals with the disposal of human and other waste and institutional arrangements for application of disposal technologies. The final chapter deals with the management of tourist facilities such as campsites, hotels, and lodges. The Annexes give some of the current regulations for mountain tourism in Nepal. This volume has 58 useful, practical figures illustrating the rural technologies given.
