What Our Travellers Say

What a wonderful experience. My son and I could not have been happier with our experience on the trip. With magnificent views and a truly rewarding experience working on the rebuild project.
The rebuild project was one of those life changing experiences. How grateful were the locals for what we achieved and we, for their gratitude.
Words cannot express how I feel about this journey.
No matter what age you are, give this a go. Your life will be enriched and you will make many new friends along the way. I plan to do this again next year with a few of my family and friends. We have been given so much and we have much to give.
What Educators Say About Our
Nepal School Trips
The Canberra Grammar School trip to Nepal with the REACH for Nepal foundation was one of the best travel experiences I have been associated with as Head of the Outdoor Education Department at the school.
With representation both here in Australia and in Nepal, the organisation of the trip was very smooth and all aspects of travel were dealt with in a professional manner. Having representatives here in Canberra made a big difference in terms of communication and planning resulting in a high level of confidence in the organisation of the trip.
...........The trip exceeded our expectations and I look forward to organising future expeditions through the REACH for Nepal foundation over coming years.
