Trek & Teach - Nepal. Discover the Himalayas while making a positive difference
- Nepal
About Program
If you’re looking for an epic adventure that makes a real positive difference in the world – you’ve found it.
You’ll spend your time hiking between remote villages high up in the Himalayas. Discovering holy temples and ancient sites along the way.
You’ll stay at local homestays or rustic trekking lodges. Your host family or mountain guide will take care of your meals, too, as you get to sample some traditional Nepalese cuisine between peaks.
When it’s time for a break – you’ll help the local children in these remote villages learn English. As tourism continues to grow in this mountain country, being able to speak English will open up a world of opportunities for the locals.
By helping them along, you’ll be giving back to one of the most dramatic and revered landscapes on Earth. All this while hiking along the highest mountain range in the world.
If you’re active and keen to make a difference this is the trip for you.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
