Stunning trekking in the two most famous regions of Nepal plus wildlife
Combining superb treks with Nepal's premier wildlife habitat, this trip offers a huge variety of scenery, flora, fauna and culture.
The colourful villages, rich forests and rushing mountain streams of the Annapurnas offer an interesting contrast to the higher starker Everest region, home to the Buddhist culture of the Sherpas and the highest mountain on Earth.
Your checklist of peaks includes Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Machhapuchhare, the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri.
This itinerary is an ideal first visit to Nepal for those who want a truly comprehensive look at this beautiful country.
What makes this trip responsible?
EXODUS HIMALAYAN PROJECTS
Over the last few years we have set up many projects in Nepal. Details of all the projects can be found here on our website
Your leader will have up to date information in Kathmandu so please do ask him if you would like more information. We also have
printed copies of our newsletter available in Kathmandu.

EXODUS HIMALAYAN COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROJECTS
Some of our most important projects are:
Nava Kiran Orphanage Kathmandu
In March 2006 we opened a new home, which we built for the children. Since then we have been paying for the children's educational
needs (school fees, books, uniforms etc). Although we will still continue to monitor the children's educational needs we are
gradually reducing our involvement there, only providing extra support where needed. If you are travelling with Exodus to Nepal and
would like to see the orphanage, please ask your leader who will be delighted to organise a visit.
Esther Benjamins Trust
The Esther Benjamins Trust focuses on improving the lives of Nepal's most vulnerable children and young people. The Trust provides full time care for children who are 'at risk' of being trafficked or of domestic or sexual abuse - an indispensable safety net. The facilities cater for 140 children (boys and girls) at three centres; Kathmandu, Hetauda and Bhairahawa, south Nepal. From 2010 we will be helping them raise money for the full time care and education of their children.
Solar Cookers and Smokeless Stoves
Our solar cooker project is now up and running in the Everest region. By spring 2010 we had installed 30 solar cookers in the Everest region in the lodges we use and have another 30 waiting to be installed in autumn 2010. If you are trekking in the Everest region you will see these in most of the lodges where you stay. Your leader will have details of how to sponsor a cooker.
In 2010 Exodus donated 28 smokeless stoves to Thulopatel village. These stoves use less wood but more importantly, they provide a safer and healthier alternative for the women to cook on. The smoke leaves the kitchen through a chimney thus preventing eye and lung
problems caused by a smoky fire.
