Community Eco-Lodge Trek

Do you like to travel off beaten away from the standard tourist track? Nepal is a great country you can do this, especially in the mighty area of the amazing Annapurna. Here at Ethical Travel Portal, we take you through some off beaten villages on this adventured filled trek.

This trek has taken inspiration from the remarkable Mahabir Pun. He had a hard time finding the correct information to undergo his education. Finally, after several tries, he managed and eventually travelled all the way to the USA to gain a higher education. The mighty Mahabir was from a rural village in Nepal. The fact that he could not readily access information from his own village left him frustrated as he could easily access in the USA. This was a frustration of his which constantly kept nagging at him.

After some time in the USA, he eventually came back to Nepal and set up a foundation that worked exclusively to make information accessible to rural villages in Nepal via the internet. This has become so successful that Mahabir even won the Magsaysay Award.

On this trek, we venture through some of the first villages to come under this project and it was used to fund the projects coming under this scheme. Likewise, the homestays and community eco-lodges support education, technology and many more. Which on this journey you’ll witness and will provide you with a fantastic feel-good factor. Throughout this trek, you will enjoy amazing views of Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest mountain in the world. Also, you will see Annapurna I the tenth highest mountain in the world. As well as the charming warm Nepali hospitality provided in the villages.
