Immerse yourself in a new culture, change perspectives and build resilience in the scenic Annapurna region of the Nepal Himalaya. Our Nepal Annapurna programme is packed with activities to learn about:
Nepal is landlocked between the Tibet Autonomous Region and India. It has the greatest altitude variation on Earth, from the Terai lowland plains (Chitwan) at almost sea-level, to the hills and mountain region of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest at 8,848 metres. In fact, Nepal has 8 of the 10 highest mountain peaks in the world.
Nepal is home to some of the friendliest people you will ever meet! Kathmandu hosts many development agencies and charities working in poverty reduction, conservation and social justice. As a Global Action school team you will visit staff working in the field to learn more about wildlife conservation and development solutions in Nepal.
The Nepal Annapurna programme is designed to give you an outstanding Himalayan adventure, with a global learning focus on poverty reduction, environmental protection and social justice.
Students will learn about sustainable development in expert-led seminars at international and Nepalese charities, such as the UK government’s FCDO, the World Wildlife Fund, ICIMOD and the Gurkha Welfare Trust. Global Action projects are contributing towards Nepal achieving its targets for Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) under the United National Sustainable Development Goals and, as part of the important community project, the team will help[ install clean drinking water tanks in a poor Nepalese school. During this project, we will also enjoy a unique cultural exchange and help to teach English.
Students will enjoy a 5 day trek through the spectacular Annapurna National Park. The programme is topped off with a workshop on Buddhism, meditation and mindfulness at a beautiful monastery just outside Kathmandu.
Global Action Directors have lived and worked extensively in Nepal with international and local development charities, including CARE International and the International Red Cross. This personal field experience and friendships with our local country partners, mean you’ll enjoy a programme in Nepal unique to Global Action.
We appreciate how busy teachers are, so we’ve made the booking process as simple as possible! There are 4 easy steps:
Call or email us to book a meeting or phone call at your school. We will listen carefully to what interests you, and your requirements.
We will then email you a tailored proposal, which will include a full itinerary, all-inclusive price, and key documents for the Senior Management Team (SMT).
Once you get approval from the SMT, we will send you key marketing material, including posters, to help promote the trip.
We visit your school to deliver inspiring presentations in a short Morning Assembly and a longer Parents’ Presentation 10 days later.
A clear win to the home team!

We learnt a huge amount about Religious Studies, sustainable development, migration, geohazards and resource security. All the international agencies have been fantastic. This has been the best school trip we have ever been on.
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your help, guidance and kindness of helping me and everyone else navigate our way through Nepal. This has been one of the best trips I have ever been on! It was great fun and very interesting. This is going to be something that I would like to do more of in the future, thanks to you.
Global Action were great - in every way. The organisation was great, the info was comprehensive, they tried to prepare the girls (fitness especially) and the trip leader (Tim) was absolutely fantastic.
