FAMILY
GROUP TRIPS
THE MIGHTY HIMALAYA - NEPAL FAMILY HOLIDAY
14 days
Tripcode: FIN
- Trekking in The world's biggest mountain range
- Ride an elephant
- Optional river rafting
Nepal is a magnificent, diverse country, home to some of the most
spectacular mountain scenery and friendliest people. With the chance
to go river rafting we begin the trip with a sense of adventure.
At Chitwan there is fantastic game viewing, canoe rides, jungle
walks and the opportunity to join an elephant at bathtime. A trip
to Nepal would not be complete without experiencing its wonderful
mountain scenery so we embark on a fun but moderate trek to Panchase
Hill, where fantastic scenery is guaranteed. Our experienced and
fully trained trekking crew carry all the luggage plus tired children
if needed!
Responsible Travel
Nava Kiran Orphanage
After two years in the making March 2006 saw the opening of a new
building, and a much larger home for the children living at the
Nava Kiran Orphanage. Today is a different story. The children are
now fully settled in their new home and all attend local schools
or nursery school. They have transformed the gardens into small
rice terraces and are producing enough rice each month to keep the
kitchen stocked, this in turn frees valuable funds which they are
putting towards a biogas dome. Once up and running, and with the
help of 9 tonnes of cow dung, the dome will turn waste from the
bathrooms into natural gas that can be used for cooking. Almost
all trips to Kathmandu can visit the orphanage, and all our Nepali
leaders will be happy to pass on up-to-date information.
