Blog home / Nepal: Choose A Trek That Gives Back

0

Nepal is where it all began for World Expeditions in 1975 - and nearly 50 years later, it remains one of our most meaningful destinations. What started as pioneering small group treks through remote Himalayan valleys has evolved into a deeper, more responsible way of travelling.

We believe that how you travel is just as important as where you go. In Nepal, that belief comes to life through every local guide, mountain porter, village kitchen and high-altitude trail we support.

Giving Back to the Communities We Walk Through

Our commitment in Nepal goes beyond tourism. We support ongoing porter welfare initiatives, fund community development through the World Expeditions Foundation, and deliver thoughtful programs like our 10 Pieces litter collection initiative.

Your trek helps fund real, long-term benefits for the people who call these mountains home - including rebuilding efforts after natural disasters and education support in remote regions.

Experience the Trails Less Travelled

While we offer the best-known treks, it’s the quieter trails that truly reflect our style. From the ancient kingdoms of Mustang to the high passes of the Rolwaling Valley, these are journeys into places where tourism is rare - and genuine connection is still possible.

Led by expert local guides, our itineraries offer cultural depth, physical challenge and personal insight - all while treading lightly on the environment.

Walk with Purpose

In a time when travel is returning at pace, your choices matter. Choosing to trek with World Expeditions means joining a long legacy of ethical, community-based adventure travel in Nepal - and helping preserve its magic for future generations.

Eco-Comfort Camps That Set the Standard

World Expeditions was the first company to introduce permanent Eco-Comfort Camps in Nepal’s Everest and Annapurna regions. These purpose-built, low-impact camps provide warm, comfortable accommodation in remote settings - while creating jobs and reducing the environmental strain caused by traditional trekking infrastructure.

They’re solar-powered, locally staffed, and carefully designed to blend with their surroundings. More than just a place to sleep, our camps are part of a bigger vision - sustainable travel that benefits everyone, not just the traveller.
