OUR STORY

WHAT IS TRACING NEPAL?

The travel experience began with an aim to take Nepalis living outside of Nepal to experience Nepal like never before! As team members, you will meet fellows from across the world and depending on your chosen itinerary, work alongside our partner non-governmental organisations to see their incredible work as well as get your hands dirty!

From 2024, Tracing Nepal will offer trips for Nepalis and non-Nepalis. We encourage you to read the itinerary thoroughly so you select a trip that’s well matched to your interest.

OUR MISSION

  • Foster cultural understanding and appreciation by facilitating connections and interactions between Nepalis living abroad and their homeland. 
  • Empower and support the partner NGO’s in their efforts to uplift the lives of children and youth in Nepal.
  • Promote personal growth and self-discovery through immersive experiences that encourage participants to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new challenges.
  • Celebrate the diversity and heritage of Nepal by showcasing the traditions, cuisine, and art forms of various ethnic communities.
  • Create a platform for individuals to explore their identity, reconnect with their roots, and forge lifelong connections with fellows from around the world.
  • Contribute to sustainable development initiatives in Nepal by raising awareness, collaborating with local communities, and implementing projects that have a positive and lasting impact.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU DONE THIS?

The annual travel experience began in 2014 and we have successfully completed six Tracing Nepal programs bringing over fifty team members and team leaders from UK, USA, Belgium, Germany, Bulgaria, Hong Kong and Singapore.

We LOVE to mix things up with Tracing Nepal and you will find that our itinerary changes every year! Since our beginning we have worked alongside Maya Universe Academy, Sablakhu Gau (Taplejung), Red Panda Network, Children and Youth First and Educating Nepal.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

While the Tracing Nepal experience does come with a cost, we believe that the investment is well worth it for the incredible journey that awaits you.
As an organization, our mission is to bridge purposeful travel with genuine organizations, and the travel fee you pay goes towards supporting our partner NGOs and their operations, as well as covering the costs of your stay and food during the program. A portion of the fee also goes towards a donation we make to our partner organizations, allowing us to contribute to the incredible work they do in Nepal.
