Together with our travel partner, we organise an affordable total package, enabling a seamless experience for all travellers. 

 

The package is generally of 15 days duration and includes international airfares; all local travel including internal flights, private vans and 4WDs; all accommodation and about 90% of the meals.

 

In addition, inclusive in each trip, we develop a;

  • Risk Management Plan specific to your trip, and

  • Critical Incident Management Plan including escalation processes in case of an emergency.


Together with your institution, we can determine a way in how we can make a difference to those in need in Nepal. We do this through -

​

  • Tailoring your trip and the project you wish to undertake to ensure you contribute in the way you wish and aligned to the objectives of the foundation

​

  • Our extensive network in Nepal, gives us an understanding of the needs and priorities of where assistance is required, thereby identifying high-value projects

​

  • Providing a practical perspective on a range of matters including culture; poverty; the joy of giving; facing and overcoming physical, mental and emotional challenges; witnessing strong community and family values; hands-on practical assistance; being exposed to the joy in people despite having very little

​

  • Providing an opportunity for parents and students to experience something meaningful and unique together by sharing the adventure of a lifetime whilst making a difference to those in need

Testimonials

The Canberra Grammar School trip to Nepal in April 2018 with the REACH for Nepal foundation was one of the best travel experiences I have been associated with as Head of the Outdoor Education Department at the school.

 

With representation both here in Australia and in Nepal, the organisation of the trip was very smooth and all aspects of travel were dealt with in a professional manner.  Having representatives here in Canberra made a big difference in terms of communication and planning resulting in a high level of confidence in the organisation of the trip.  

 

...........The trip exceeded our expectations and I look forward to organising future expeditions through the REACH for Nepal foundation over coming years.
