The recent disaster in Nepal has deeply affected many communities across the country, including Nuwakot - the birthplace of our co-founder, Prakash Adhikari.
A public primary school in Nuwakot, which supports children from disadvantaged families, has been severely damaged. For us, this is personal.
We have committed, now more than ever, to actively contributing to the rebuilding of the Nuwakot community and supporting the families and children who have been affected.
I would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has booked a trek with us over the past week, and to everyone who has reached out with enquiries about travelling to Nepal.
Tourism is incredibly important to Nepal’s economy and to the livelihoods of countless people across the country. By continuing to travel to Nepal responsibly, you are also helping local communities recover and rebuild.
A huge thank you as well to everyone who has offered to bring or donate school supplies, clothing and medical supplies. Seeing these acts of kindness and humanity first-hand has been truly heart-warming.
This is about much more than trekking.
It’s about people, communities and standing together when it matters most.
Thank you for standing with Nepal. 🇳🇵
