Each spring and fall, Himalayan HealthCare brings doctors, dentists, nurses, social workers and other volunteers-including friends and family members-on a trek through the Himalayas to the remote mountain villages of Tipling, Shertung and Lapa in rural Nepal.
Over the course of the 12-day trek, volunteers work alongside our village health staff and the local communities to provide training, medical care and other life-saving support to some of Nepal’s most marginalized populations. In the process, volunteers experience a unique glimpse into Nepal’s cultural heritage and take in the majestic views of the Himalayas.
Fall 2017 Dates: October 26-November 6, 2017
Fee: $3,100 *
* The fee includes a tour and welcome dinner in Kathmandu as well as meals, tents and portering service for the duration of the trek. The fee does not include airfare to and from Nepal or accommodation in Kathmandu.

Mission Statement
The mission of Himalayan HealthCare is to create sustainable development programs in the remote areas of Nepal that will improve the quality of life for its people. Himalayan HealthCare achieves its mission by providing primary healthcare, community education, and income generation programs that enable people to be self-supporting in the long-term
Description
HHC provides primary health care, education and income generation assistance to people living in remote and impoverished regions of Nepal.
Nepal is one of the least developed countries in the world and suffers from extreme levels of poverty, particularly in rural regions.
We provide humanitarian assistance unobtainable from government or other organizations. We accomplish our mission by creating and supporting programs that provide healthcare services, education programs, and income generation opportunities.
In 2004 HHC significantly expanded its investment in Nepal by opening the Megh Bahadur Parajuli Clinic in the town of Ilam in eastern Nepal. This small hospital serves a region of approximately 300 thousand people.
HHC encourages local participation and involvement in all of its programs to ensure sustainability of benefits. Above all, HHC strives to help people help themselves.
