Investing in the local community is one of our core values. We hope to set the standard in our country and within the travel industry to benefit the most important and often underserved stakeholders: locals.

We create economic opportunities to support indigenous groups in rural areas.
We work to develop new tourist destinations so that new communities can benefit from tourist activities.
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.
