Nepal Hiking the Himalaya trip combines philanthropy and adventure in a remote village where not many venture into. Volunteer Program is primarily designed to bring forth coordinated efforts of all the experts and interested individuals in different areas under one platform and thereon work towards achieving its common goal and mission. It provides a unique opportunity for volunteers to live and work in remote Nepal.
The secluded villages in Nepal are deprived of a sufficient number of qualified and educated individuals who could otherwise contribute significantly for the wellbeing of the community. Eco Trip Nepal, have assessed the need of qualified volunteers to fill that gap.
The itinerary is very flexible and can be modified as required. Teaching in the local school or assisting the teachers or care takers at kindergarten children and helping the blind students in the blind school will give you bliss sense serving above self. You’ll also get enough opportunities to witness the traditional lifestyle and culture of the common Nepalese people. You can indulge in farming methods, using bulls and other beasts of burden, participate local farmers group harvesting during your free time. Besides the fun and mud in the field, you get a sense of how deprived the Nepalese farmers are of the modern technologies. Hike to the neighboring villages, or to the nearby hills to get a great glimpse of the sunrise and the sunset with breathtaking panorama of the Himalayan Giants. Nepal is culturally rich and in the pre-monsoon seasons, there will be multiple festivals held in the village and in the markets. These rituals are very lively, colorful and involve a lot of folk dancing and singing. There will be plenty to do in the village to experience a new way of life in this secluded region

we had 14 beautiful days and everything was really good organized. Thanks a lot! the most impressiv part was the trekking tour and also the ride on the elephant, in this undiscribeble landscape all the people we met and had a smile on their faces.
We loved to give this smile back to them especial to the pupils who we could meet in the schools in Narayansthan. Good luck!

Nepal for Family tour on 13 April to 26 April 2013
Staffs are very nice caring with the children, very good food, quick and very helpful. FANTASIK SERVICE.
The program/Itinerary was very good and full of interesting activities. However, we would recommend to cut the trekking down to 4 days and instead one more additional. Day swimming or Rafting at the river my sons enjoyed the most.
