REACH for Nepal's community rebuild trips are gaining popularity among adventure enthusiasts and educational institutions in Australia.
These trips offer a unique blend of trekking and community service, where participants can work on specific projects that are mutually agreed upon by the group and the foundation.
While school rebuilding, water tank installations, setting up hand wash stations or installing water filter systems are typical projects, REACH for Nepal welcomes any contribution that aligns with its objectives of helping those less fortunate than us in Nepal.
​
REACH for Nepal believes in empowering its volunteers to decide on the best way to contribute, rather than prescribing a set course of action.
This approach allows for greater flexibility and innovation in delivering aid to communities in need.

General Public
Secondly, we offer trips to the general public. Each year we invite the public to join us in a trek of moderate-intensity and participate in one of our projects. For some participants, these trips are life-changing events, with a number of people coming back on later trips as they experience a deep sense of purpose and achievement.
