Nepal Development Projects
Nepal is a beautiful country with many fantastic opportunities to volunteer and intern within its borders. Nepal is a tiny, stunning land of snow-capped mountains, majestic old temples and the colorful city of Kathmandu. The home of Mount Everest, draped along the backbone of the Himalayas, Nepal entices all kinds of people – and they don't go home disappointed.
Nepal has historically been a shrewd trader with both India to the South and China to the North. It is also in a transitional stage from royal autocracy to a form of democracy.
The geographical location of Nepal makes it one of the most bio diverse countries on the planet. As well as the mountains you will find windswept deserts, green paddy fields and jungles teeming with exotic wildlife.
This friendly and welcoming country has a rich history and offers much for the adventurous traveler. The capital city, Kathmandu, is transforming from an ancient place filled with crooked streets into a vibrant, modern metropolis. The city is becoming an extroverted and lively destination, and although Western influences mean that you will certainly see modern-looking businessmen, there is still plenty of evidence of the simpler life.
Our projects in Nepal are available for anyone interested in volunteering in the developing world, including those on a college summer break, gap year, career break or volunteer vacation.

Volunteer Vacations and Voluntourism in Nepal.
On your days off from voluntary work, there’s always something going on in Nepal. Kathmandu attracts pilgrims as well as tourists, so there are plenty of religious festivals, rallies and attractions.
You can try a pizza Nepali-style, feast on the traditional Dal Bhat, or enjoy a buffalo steak at the Everest Steak House. If you’re hungry for something other than food, visit the temples in Durbar Square, or go mountain biking in the Kathmandu Valley.
Nepal is the perfect location for anyone who loves the outdoors. The mountainous terrain is perfect for those seeking extreme climbing or trekking activities. Who wouldn’t relish the unforgettable experience of hiking in the foothills of Mount Everest? There are also places to go white-water rafting in the foaming glacial rivers, or take an adventure trek through the jungle.Himalaya Mt. Everest Tower ‘HIMET’ aim is to integrate sustainable environmental conservation and community development programs for tourism development.
It is well known fact that travelling has been a human phenomenon since the beginning of human civilization. It is a sensitive factor of the human nature in the context of moving to survive, explore and to know that unknown.
Yet tourism is often taken to be a new phenomenon associated with our present civilization. The ancients undertake travels for personals or collective interest or out of curiosity and regions sentiments.
But the modern science and technology advancement, higher incomes and saving longer, leisure times, demographic expansion, cheaply facilitated and diversified tourists services, spread of education etc. have made the term “Tourism” more households as well as the most dynamic and important for not only developing countries. Nepal, a country of natural paradise, is unique due to its peculiar topography, diverse climate and cultural heritage. Nepal has many tourists’ destinations and range of comparative advantages.
The most spectacular mountains in the world, people of different races, religious, cultures, and costumes, a wide variety of flora and fauna and
a varied climate are the large and growing tourist’s world. To develop sustainable tourism and to achieve the opium socio-economic benefits, the activities like eco -tourism, community based tourism or village tourism; social tourism should be highly promoted.
Nepal one of the most unique exotic and remote destinations in the tourism map of the world unquestionably a country deemed with countless natural wonders and exhilarating tourism products.
It would n’t be an exaggeration to say tourism potentiality of Nepal, if utilized properly and with a little seriousness on the part of the plans and policy makers; it would prove itself like the Hen that used to lay Golden eggs in fairy tales. Social tourism is Community based tourism which enables tourists to discover local habitats, wildlife and to celebrates and respects traditional cultures, rituals and wisdom. The community will be aware of the commercial and social value placed on their natural and cultural heritage through tourism, and this will encourage community to conserve these resources. Supporting community-based tourism, tourist can immerse in the day-to-day lives of local and indigenous people while helping them to preserve their environment and cultural heritage by sharing idea and knowledge.
In return tourist gets rare opportunities to experience local communities in a low price instead of paying high price for the hotel and resort. Many successful experiences in development countries prove that tourism can become a leading sector for the people who conserve natural resources and live on it. Local people of these countries jointly cooperate in Community Based Tourism and this gives not only economic benefits for them but also becomes an example of community involved decision making process. A community by definition implies individuals with some kind of collective responsibility, and the ability to make decisions by representative bodies. Also Social tourism is aimed at benefiting the whole community by contributing to the economic and social development of regions and citizens as the whole.
All the players in the tourism development are subject to the same expectations of professionalism and competence, whether facility managers or entrepreneurs, guides or tour organizers, entertainers or educators.
Himalaya Mt. Everest Tower ‘HIMET’ is with a strict aim of promoting community-based socio-environmentally friendly tourism. Eco tourism is gradually becoming a priority as it is proved to be the alternative economic activity to the local community. The organization sees itself as a social partner for community development through tourism to create economic, social and environmental value in the community.
It believes that the overall longevity of the organization success depends upon its ability to create value in these three areas simultaneously. Responsible Tourism/Sustainable Tourism Once we are promoting the social tourism we should not forget to talk about responsible as well as sustainable tourism, responsible tourism is tourism ‘that creates better places for people to live in, and better places to visit’.
The concept of Responsible tourism can be understood through Sustainable tourism, the goal of both being the same – sustainable development. While Sustainable tourism points at the obvious need for sustainability, Responsible tourism means taking the initiative, understanding actors involved, studying the impacts and benefits and spreading them out equally, in other words, spreading the responsibility for both impacts and benefits thus ensuring the ability of all levels of actors to act accordingly – be government, tour operators, hospitality industry and even individuals such the tourists themselves.
