Volunteer Philanthrophy Tours

Good deeds give blissful life

Travel industry might have been developed with various purposes in the past. Nowadays, it has resulted in tremendously positive outcomes for all of us in this world. While we can recharge our positive spirit by traveling to interesting places and meeting different people, we also can use our hard earned vacation (time and resources) to foster peace in the communities, societies and countries where we visit. One of the best ways to promote peace in our destinations is giving back something to the less privileged groups around our destination or volunteering or donating. This philanthropic side of travel industry and travelers has been much more popular these days especially in countries where people are in need of helping hands.

A benign initiative, philanthropic / volunteering tourism contributes for the development and prosperity of the tourist destinations through individual or group efforts in different organizations, community / social projects, etc. More effective than other conventional philanthropic aids, philanthropic travelers directly serve the people and communities around their destinations.  ‘To give back’ doesn’t need us to be rich. Rather, we need to believe in charity and its role in socio-economic transformation.

Recently, the number of international visitors with plans of volunteering and other philanthropic acts has dramatically increased in Nepal. Many of them come individually without any specific plan, many come as travel groups with an itinerary fixed with a travel / trekking agency and many come as organizational volunteers. We, here in Ace Holiday Treks, organize volunteer trips (very short to long) to many destinations allowing you to volunteer according to your field of interest. This is for all those travelers who want to travel freely, no matter, whether they want or don’t want to join any development organization. Or we can arrange you a reliable and genuine local organization which can use your expertise and efforts / hard work to make their social work successful. Here are some fields that you can volunteer for:

Education : In community schools, orphanage homes, libraries, etc. with less resources (teaching and training, donation, may include internships

Health : Work in local health posts / hospitals, go for health camps to remote areas may include internships.

Nature and Environment : Work for environment preservation in National Parks, conservation areas, Community forests, in the Himalaya, etc.
