With assistance to the idea of cross cultural exposure, Adventure Mountain Explore Treks and Expedition has come up with a group trek suitable for a large group of class, family or colleagues. Opting an adventurous yet memorable trip for the entire team can be a hassle. From planning to decision making, the trek can turn out to be demanding rather than enjoyable for people organizing it. Keeping this in mind, we have come up with a trek package including an enjoyable escapade as well as an opportunity for your children to learn and lead as a global citizen starting in the Himalayas. We have years of experience with grouped trekking including various age groups.
What the students truly can learn is the importance of cultural diversity spread across the world. The cultural cognizance is a lot different in various parts of the world. The students in the rural settlements of Nepal live a contrasting life than the students grown up in a developed country. Thus, we believe showcasing the education system and having school visits as much as possible will bring out cultural acceptance in the students. We will visit schools on the 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th day of the trip during the trek where the children will interact with the local students and get exposed to the study environment. Furthermore, it will be well blended with the everyday trekking and physical activities henceforth making it an essential student trip.
