Take On Nepal

You need a break—to the mountains! The Lower Himalayas are dotted with small villages, each self-sufficient and self-contained, a small world unto themselves.

Life carries on as it has done for centuries, almost—but not quite—untouched by modern technology. Bengal Tigers, Red Pandas, goat herding and buffalo powered ploughs sit side-by-side with mobile phones and sons and daughters working in far off countries. It's a world at times unchanged, at others in a state of near constant flux. Batase Village Volunteers is a for-profit company that places weste

rn volunteers in the small village of Batase. Our aim is to provide visitors with a true Village Experience, and we have the resources, local knowledge and expertise to make that happen. Batase Village—an experience you'll never forget.

Beautiful moments like this last a lifetime.

This is a glimpse into volunteering in Batase Village — helping children and families create opportunities for a better life through better schooling, community support, and everyday acts of kindness. But volunteering here is more than just giving help; it’s about stepping into the daily rhythm of village life and experiencing it alongside the local community.

In this moment, she’s carrying a traditional Nepali doko — a handwoven basket used in villages to transport everything from firewood and crops to food and supplies. The weight is supported by a strap called a namlo, which rests across the forehead, allowing people to carry surprisingly heavy loads while keeping their hands free and maintaining balance on steep, uneven trails.

This is a picture from 6 years ago…

Six years ago, we already believed ANIL had the experience to lead any group into the Himalayas of Nepal.

Today, that belief has only grown stronger—we don’t just believe it, we know it.

His expertise is reflected in many Google reviews and post comments from trekkers who have experienced his work firsthand, and they consistently praise his dedication and skill.

We, especially Som and Susan, want to thank him for being such a valuable part of our team. We truly see you as a gem, and we know you are a star among our guides.

Last month, Jonathan Clayton made his way back to Batase Village once again — one of many visits he has made over the years. His connection to the village is not built on one trip, but on showing up time and time again for the children and community.

In the days before his flight, Jonathan was already busy — not packing for himself, but packing for the children. No fancy things. Just the right things. The things he knows they need, because he has been there enough times to know exactly what matters most. He also arrived with a list ready for Kathmandu, collecting supplies along the way before making the journey to the village.

He spent many days in Batase, as he always does — present, unhurried, and giving his time as freely as he gives everything else.

Back home in Cairns, Jonathan continues his quiet generosity every single day. He collects recyclable cans consistently, year after year, turning something many people walk past into support for children in a mountain village on the other side of the world. He also places donation tins in local establishments, giving others the chance to be part of something meaningful.

It is people like Jonathan who make the name Friends of Himalayan Children truly mean something. He is, in every sense, a true friend of Himalayan children. And he is not alone — there are many others whose kindness, support, and generosity continue to make a real difference.

Jonathan never asks for recognition. He never asks for anything in return. He simply shows up — in Cairns, in Kathmandu, in Batase — and does what he has always done.

From everyone at Friends of Himalayan Children and Take On Nepal: thank you, Jonathan. Words will never be enough.
