KATHMANDU, June 5: Marriott India and Nepal marked Environment Day by planting 100,000 trees across over 150 hotels in the region. As part of this initiative, Aloft Kathmandu Thamel contributed by planting over 700 trees and organizing a staff-led clean-up hike along the Tarebhir trail. This dual effort underscores Marriott's commitment to sustainability and ecological restoration, Aloft Kathmandu said in a press release.
The Tarebhir initiative involved more than 40 associates who hiked the trail, collecting plastic waste and other litter along the way. According to the press release, this initiative combined wellness, community spirit, and environmental action, reinforcing Aloft ethos of purposeful living.

General Manager Vikram Singh emphasized, "The 700 trees we planted and the waste we cleared from the Tarebhir trail are both steps toward a greener, more mindful community. At Aloft, sustainability is not a slogan—it’s a culture we live and breathe every day."
This initiative is part of Marriott's expanded environmental impact, working with local reforestation organizations to plant trees in areas selected for biodiversity enhancement, ecosystem restoration, and community benefit, the press release further stated.
Aloft Kathmandu Thamel's efforts not only contributed to Marriott's larger goal but also deepened its ties with the local community and environment. The hotel continues to lead in implementing sustainable operations, further aligning with Marriott’s global sustainability vision.
