The recent earthquake in Nepal seriously affected the tourism sector . People probably think that it is  not a right time to visit Nepal. But that is not true. They can still come to Nepal and take part in Nepal' rebuilding. We have designed this trip for those who are interested in volunteering in earthquake affected areas of Nepal and at the same time explore Nepal. We have included sightseeing and short trekking along with the volunteering to make their stay more fruitful.
 

Coming to Nepal and returning back without exploring this lovely Himalayan country wouldn't be a fun. Therefore we have included the sightseeing of Kathmandu Valley and Pokhara and Trek to Sarangkot as a part of the trip. This way a visitor will not only help in rebuilding  Nepal but also in the country's overall economy as Tourism is one of the major income generating sectors of Nepal's economy.
 

 The Gorkha Volunteering trip   takes you to the place named Mailung in Gorkha. As Gorkha was the epicenter of the main earthquake that hit Nepal  on 25th April, it's hard to find any construction standing there. Everything turned to  rubble. This rubble needs to be cleared and new houses needs to be constructed. By doing this trip, a volunteer will hence help in taking care of the materials, help in designing building and  removing the rubble. They will also visit the hospital for volunteering  and school for teaching english language.
 

Therefore, contact us if you have been looking for the ways to help Nepal and at the same time enjoy your stay in Nepal. We can modify the package according to your wish as much as possible.
