Nepal Trekking Hope has been organizing village tourism since the beginning of its establishment. We are glad that village tourism offers a unique opportunity for comfortable cultural engagement. You travel to places where the way of life has not changed and where everything is still built by hand, made by hand and created by hand. Visit people untouched by western ideals, computers or modern "necessities".
Our company contracts with a whole village to accommodate and entertain guests; rooms in local houses are fitted with bathrooms and a few tourist-style comforts, host families are trained to prepare meals hygienically, and a guide accompanies the guests to interpret. Participating villages tend to be located a couple of hours' walk from the nearest road - close enough to be easily nearby for less-than-fit visitors, yet far enough to be culturally intact and protected from outside influences.
We take our guests to pure villages where they spend a few days living with the local people and being treated as honored family guests. Each village is connected through a variety of essential horizontal linkages with other villages and with urban areas both near and far. Most villages are characterized by a mixture of economic, caste, kinship, occupational, and even religious groups linked vertically within each settlement. While staying in the villages, guests enjoy comfortable accommodation, delicious local food and drink and a welcome that will remain a happy memory for a lifetime. While they are with us our guests can rest assured that they are always in a secure and safe environment.
Local attractions, both scenic and cultural, are shown to our guests by our well trained guides who always do their extreme to make the guest’s stay a tremendous experience. Many of our villages are close to unspoiled natural areas where wildlife may be seen undisturbed. This can be a feature of our packages for special interest groups.
The traditional culture of the different ethnic groups is a highlight of all of our village visits. These warm and friendly people are always ready to perform their music and dance and to give an insight into their religion
The aim of organizing such kind of tourism is to help the participating villages greatly improve their community. 10 % of our net profit goes directly into their tourism project.
