We create economic opportunities to support indigenous groups in rural areas.

Our commitment towards empowering communities led to the establishment of the Community Homestay Network. The Community Homestay Network began as a part of our CSR initiative. Today, after receiving a Booking.com Booster grant to kick-start the platform, it has grown into an independent social enterprise that helps to empower women all over Nepal. The platform creates opportunities for rural communities to connect with travelers thereby allowing them to experience the benefits of tourism. The company also sets up skills training classes, provides loans, medical care and education support to foster stronger communities.
