We are delighted to announce the recent successful initiatives aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for children in the Far West Dolpo region. With heartfelt appreciation, we recognize the #ELEVT Foundation, its founder Diane Savard, and her dedicated team—Samantha Savard, Ashley Savard, Andrei Banea, and Nabita Thapa—for their generous sponsorship and collaboration with Soul Himalaya Treks and Tours. Your support has enabled us to provide school uniforms to the children in our village schools, motivating them to pursue their education with renewed enthusiasm.
We extend a special thanks to Ramesh Bskm, whose dedication in distributing these uniforms and jackets has brought joy and hope to many young students. Your efforts are invaluable, and your commitment to advancing education in these remote communities is deeply appreciated.
Your generosity is making a profound impact, inspiring others to contribute to the betterment of community schools and local residents in need. Once again, we express our sincere gratitude to the entire team for your unwavering support.
While the increasing curiosity of human beings to travel and explore new places is certainly a good thing, sometimes, their actions can have devastating repercussions on the environment. We stay at a place for only a couple of weeks, but the impacts of our actions stay on the environment of that place for a long period of time. The increasing popularity of tourism has brought an increase in the threat to the environment and the surroundings.
It all started in 2021, during a trek to Everest Base Camp when the three, along with Sarki Sherpa, a Tour Leader and Co-founder of Soul Himalaya Treks & Tours, Kathmandu, came up with the initiative to help the students of Patle. "On our trek, we learned that often children in Sarki's home village of Patle, Okhaldhunga, cannot get to school as they have no warm outerwear," said Kathleen McCabe. "It was heartbreaking to understand that some of the children walk over two hours each way to class, and without warm clothing, and facing cold, wind and snow, they simply can't attend school."
Tourism allows us to explore unexpected destinations, encounter new experiences, and delve into the unique way of life of people. Although we might eventually have to depart from our travel destinations, it is important to realize that there are communities that live there, whose lives can be impacted by our actions. At SoulHimalaya, we recognize that our journeys leave footprints, and we' re dedicated to ensuring that these footprints lead to positive change. Keeping this in mind, we constantly work to bring a difference in the lives of the communities that we encounter on our journey.
Here are some of our most popular trips. Join the Soul Himalayan Travel team to experience Asia at its best.
