Youth Expeditions and Trips to Nepal

Adventure

The adventure section of the expedition can be trekking, biking, white water rafting, or a combination of any number of adventurous activities!

You can choose to trek to the iconic Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp or a whole host of other famous Himalaya passes and peaks. Students will either stay under canvas or in mountain huts, giving them a chance to really experience what life in the Himalaya is really like.

Get yourselves ready!

The level of challenge will be based upon the group’s needs and physical fitness, and the team’s objectives. However, it is still important that all members of the team have a general level of fitness before departing for one of our trips. This will ensure everyone can concentrate on having a fantastic experience!

We can provide training weekends and programmes as part of the build up to expedition to get everyone ready for the challenges ahead.

Please Contact Us to find out how your team can get prepared for their adventure.

Group Community Projects

Our socially responsible volunteer programmes are designed to make a difference to the communities we work in as well as empower the students. All of our volunteer programmes only run if we know they will genuinely have a positive impact on the communities we work in.

Our many years of working in Nepal have helped us to develop an intimate knowledge of the needs of the communities we work with. This ensures our programmes are designed so that both participants and the local people have a positive experience of cultural exchange.

By encouraging our Adventurers to look at the bigger picture, they will develop a sense of pride for what they have done to support the development of lesser-advantaged communities. Alongside this, the work in-country will help students will develop confidence, improve their team-work, and deepen their cultural understanding.

Currently, our projects include building schools in rural areas and teaching environmental courses. We have long-term goals for these projects and they adapt and develop in line with what the communities need. Through active participation on the expedition and fund raising, students will have a real opportunity to make a difference.

The combination of fundraising prior to departure and active participation during the expedition means the teams become as invested as we are in these projects. This means our Adventurers go home with the memories of an unforgettable, life changing experience that will help them grow into mature, socially conscious global citizens.

Once you have returned home, we will continue to keep you updated with the progress of any projects you have been involved in.
