ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES

As the thousand of families in Nepal are still struggling with basic needs; we are playing a unique role in creating decent work and economic opportunities to support indigenous groups in rural areas.

NEW DESTINATION

We work to develop new tourist destinations in Nepal. So that new communities can drive economic empowerment from tourist activities. We further insight into supporting local communities scattered across the country and look more for sustainable travel to bring a positive impact on the communities and environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Our core principles are rooted in sustainability – we ensure that the benefits of sustainable tourism reach the lives of our staff and the local communities we work with. Our focus remains on preserving the environment and regenerating our natural and cultural heritage. From replacing single-use plastic water bottles on treks with reusable aluminum ones to initiating tree plantation, we are committed to the shared responsibility of unburdening the planet by waste reduction by joining hands with our partners, locals, and travelers. With a motive to bring the change in the ongoing culture of tourism in Nepal, we are constantly focusing and promoting sustainable tourism development and responsible tourism.
