Places Nepal's Social Initiative

As a trek & tour operator in the Himalayas, Places Nepal believes "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)" should be an integral part of our business model. As a youth-operated company, we have a particular responsibility for community-based tourism and responsible tourism. 

At Places Nepal, we believe that tourism should be a force for good in Nepal. We're dedicated to supporting the local community, promoting sustainable tourism practices, and preserving Nepal’s essence for future generations.

Our Areas of Social Initiatives include:

• Global Initiative for Future Thinkers: Places Nepal believes that having any impact on society's development of a community is cardinal. We have partnered with local community leaders to bring positive changes and economic developments where necessary. 

Through our project “For the Mountain Communities,” Places Nepal has partnered with Global Initiative for Future Thinkers (GIFT) to provide special classes by sponsoring a Social Worker cum Teacher in different schools in Nepal. We donate 5% of your direct booking to accommodate all the volunteer teachers. This initiative has directly benefited 113 students who are learning English, Mathematics, and Science courses as of now.

• Environmental Conservation: As a trekking and travel company, we know the importance of preserving natural resources. Places Nepal is also aware of the environmental impact of travel. 
• Employee Welfare: We value our team above everything. Places Nepal has been practising the fair policy since we added a team. We provide fair wages in compliance with the Nepal government's Labour Act. We prioritise the health and well-being of our guides and porters, providing them with insurance and access to quality healthcare.
