EDUCATIONAL TOUR/ TREKS

Treks are designed for school parties and educationalists, who are interested to get the first hand information about Nepal's educational system. The tours could be an excellent opportunity for the students and scholars to visit schools and colleges in various parts of the country (both urban and rural areas), to meet students and their teachers and share ideas and experiences. Besides, they can see what type of teaching tools and methods are being applied in different parts of the country. The treks are organised to enhance harmony and understanding between the students from ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. Therefore, this will help establish social and communal harmony and understanidng anong the different groups.

WHY THE EDUCATIONAL TOUR

Education is the process of developing the mind through different methods. In other words, it makes the children of today the most responsible and capable citizens of tomorrow. For theoretical and practical experience both training and knowledge is needed. The city students, with sufficient theoretical knowledge are being deprived of first hand practical experience of real Nepalese life, culture, religion and society. They are forgetting the reality of themselves as well as of their motherland. They are deprived of the knowledge of how their forefathers used to live in the villages, and the hard lives they had to lead. Therefore, the students need to visit the remote village areas and schools to observe true life and culture at first hand.

THE OBJECTIVES OF OUR MISSION
01. The participating students will be introduced to students of different countries Schools and colleges.
02. They also will widen the scope of friendship. At present the students’ knowledge is limited to what they have learned from books and in school, now they will get the chance to apply their precious knowledge in the practical and actual field.
03. They get practical and first hand knowledge of things they learn only in the book.
04. They will actually see the birds, flowers, trees, rivers, lakes, brooks, many more flora and fauna. Our guides and experts will help them to know more about these things.
05. They will advise and give knowledge to the people in the destination regarding water supply, sanitation, environment preservation, and way of agriculture, forest protection, the importance of natural and cultural resources.
06. Providing the people particularly the school with financial and academic support for their progress and development
07. Developing the mutual understanding and friendship between the people and countries.
08. Propagating domestic tourism and developing the concept of tourism among the students.
09. They will develop the feeling of nationality loving Nepalese brothers and sisters as well as being motivated to apply their learned minds to the service of Nepalese people and for the development of their motherland.
10. They will get the opportunity of knowing and experiencing geographical reality and Nepalese way of life, which the foreign students have the advantage of studying.
11. While the students in the city will be refreshed by their new experiences, the people in the destination will get employment, material and educational help and environmental awareness as well as other types of knowledge.
12. In the group an experienced trekking guide and environment experts will participate.
So the students will have convenience and knowledge.

  Village Tourism
Almost all of the villages of Nepal are a rich store of cultural property. The villages of Nepal are rich in themselves, in terms of giving their unique and typical identities. There are some of the villages in Nepal, which can give unique experience for both the domestic and foreign tourists, which can’t be found elsewhere in the world. On the other hand, the tourists of advanced and modern cities can obtain the experience of the rich and prosperous culture, which they had lost in their history and can get it again no more. They can concretize their knowledge from the history in the reality of their life.
In this regard, Sirubari village of Syangja District is a world-famous example. The tourists of the world are attracted very much with the honesty, politeness and friendly behavior of the rural people. The cultural activities of the typical Magar village, Sirubari, while welcoming the tourists and departing them are really heart touching.
Ghalegaun, the village of Ghales in Lamjung district, which has recently celebrated the ’Ghale Gaun Festival’ to propagate and promote the ‘Village Tourism’, has been popular as the successful model village for village tourism. This is completely peaceful and pollution free village. It is very rich in live Gurung culture with their frank and amicable behavior.
