Upcoming Trips to Nepal
Kavre, Nepal | Signs of Hope
November 1–13, 2026 | 13 Days
Join a grit-tested team combining critical community service with raw Himalayan exploration.
We begin at the Kavre School for the Deaf, where a severe spatial shortage forces the dining hall to double as a daytime classroom. Following a blueprint requested by the school’s principal, you’ll spend three days building a permanent kitchen and dining facility on the vacant top-floor terrace—permanently freeing up a quiet, dedicated learning space for 92 students.
Then, fly west to Pokhara to tackle the wild, uncrowded Sikles Circuit. You will track exposed alpine ridgelines to Kori Danda (3,800m), climb to a stunning Thulagi Glacier overlook (4,100m), and stand at the edge of Kahphuche—the lowest glacier lake on earth, shimmering beneath the towering ice walls of the Annapurna range.
“This trip has been hands down, the greatest journey of my life.”
— Jennifer H, Nepal Participant
