The community project phase not only enables us to assist in a project that directly benefits the host community, but also gives students the opportunity to really get to know what life is like living in the foothills of the Himalayas.  Teams will work on a much needed project for a local school.

Our expeditions include local interest visits, providing educational opportunities, adventure, as well as an insight into the country’s heritage, history and people and so.  These can include;

• Rafting on the Trisuli River – from the put-in at Pokhara, teams will journey along the river, discovering exciting rapids and magnificent gorges (up to whitewater level 3)
• Peace Pagoda – a hike to visit the pagoda for amazing views of Machapuchare and the Annapurna Massif
• Lake Fewa – this famous, scenic lake is the second largest in Nepal
• Tibetan Refugee Settlement – an opportunity to learn the history of the tibetan refugees that have settled here through a visit to their community information centre
• Chitwan National Park, Terai – the country’s first national park and a designated World Heritage site. Teams will experience foot and canoe safaris on the edge of the park which allow the opportunity to view rhino, gharial and crocodile.

Our focus on development means teams lead on planning, managing food and navigation during the trek phase. Teams need to work together to successfully meet this challenge.

There is so much choice for exploring the spectacular countryside of Nepal on foot during this expedition, that the options for trekking are too numerous to list! This expedition can include a trek of 2-3 days in the Kathmandu Valley, through to a full-blown Everest View Trek. Let us know your team’s requirements and we will provide a solution that suits your team.
