The Country

Nepal is landlocked between the Tibet Autonomous Region and India

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 Experience in a nutshell

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 are so happy with how the trip went and know that it has fundamentally affected the girls, with many now wanting to develop their careers in human rights, poverty reduction and development which is fantastic. I think the expedition definitely opened hearts and minds.

  • I just wanted to thank you for our son's transformational trip to Nepal.  You gave them an extraordinary and unique experience for which he, and we, are very grateful.  Brilliantly and safely orangised exposure to a country he knew very little about and returned from enriched and much motivated to do more.
