About Program
Trek through the foothills of the Himalayas to a remote rural village where you’ll live with a Nepali host family, and teach English in the local school. Your four day trek through the mountains will lead you around the Annapurna Circuit, past Poon Hill and some of the other highlights of the trail. You’ll walk through mossy forests, and up stone steps (thousands!) all while having breathtaking views of the mountains. At the end of the trek, you’ll be welcomed into the home of your hosts, and by your students as a new member of the community. Each morning you’ll wake up with views of the snow capped Himalayas.
On days off, trek and explore the local area. Spend your weekends hiking up to the base camp of one of the tallest mountains in the world, or soaking in the natural hot springs at Jihnu. The local children are driven, and with your knowledge of the English language, they’ll have a greater opportunity to learn.
