Tourism is popular in Nepal and supports the Nepalese economy as an important revenue generator.

Combining tourism with social outreach provides a cultural experience that engages the participant in the local community… And it is transformative.

Volunteering: It's the Ultimate Act of Kindness

OUR HISTORY

Nepal is among the poorest and least developed countries in the world, with almost one-quarter of its population living below the poverty line.

Besides helping Nepali schools and villages, school groups will have an opportunity to experience Nepal through sightseeing and outdoor adventures arranged by HV. This allows school groups the chance to have a meaningful experience volunteering while also having an amazing cultural adventure. Since its inception, HV has facilitated many trips to Nepal by numerous schools in many diverse countries. Why not bring your students, too?

Effect of the trip

I believe this trip made me more aware of the community outside of what tourists usually see on their vacations. Landing in Kathmandu we saw dirt and poverty. However, there was something about the people that made me realize no matter how bad their living conditions, the people seemed genuinely happy and were always willing to lend a hand.....

Nepal vs Istanbul

Nepal, known as a city of spiritual pilgrims and for its outstanding landscapes of the Himalayas turned out to be more than just a service trip, but a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget. Visiting Nepal when living in Istanbul only made me realize that life is not all about money and its value, but to be content with what you have and rejoice in the way things are......

Trekking

Trekking was one of the most tiring yet exhilarating experiences in my life. Sweat poured down my face for the whole journey and frequent water breaks were needed. The sound of the local wildlife could not be heard over the panting and complaining. It surely didn’t help when we saw Mrs. Wenzel and Mrs. Gökmen being driven up the mountain but we kept pushing.
