Combining Volunteer Work and Annapurna Base Camp Trekking

Save to Favorites

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal's most iconic and breathtaking treks, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and adventure. Nestled in the heart of the Annapurna Conservation Area, the trek takes you through lush rhododendron forests, traditional Gurung and Magar villages, terraced farmlands, and high-altitude landscapes, culminating at the base of the majestic Annapurna massif. The journey is not only a physical challenge but also a spiritual and cultural experience, as you immerse yourself in the Himalayan way of life.

Kathmandu Summit Adventure's Annapurna Base Camp Trek and volunteering in Nepal will start in Nepal with a small, but interesting, orientation program. The orientation program is about the culture, history, religion, habits, and behaviours of the Nepalese people. You will also be taken to the most popular Hindu temple Pashupatinath and the world heritage site Swyambhunath (monkey temple). Kathmandu Summit Adventure designed a suitable program itinerary according to your summer break schedule and wishes.
