Nepali adventure tour operator Ace the
Himalaya is offering a 13-day program that includes nine days of trekking and
four rebuilding villages destroyed by the earthquake that rocked Nepal
late last month.
The tours will help rebuild villages in the
hard-hit Gorkha region, near the epicenter of the first earthquake, where trekking
volunteers will provide “priceless sweat equity along with much needed dollars
the help purchase construction supplies”, Ace said.
Ace partnered with Portland, Oregon based The
Clymb — an e-commerce business that sells outdoor gear, apparel and adventure
travel trips — to organize the trips. There are eight departures beginning in
September and running through May 2016.
The rate of $1,199 per person includes
transportation, accommodations, meals and guides. All of the trip proceeds will go
to the Sambhav Nepal Foundation, a local organization that is rebuilding
villages.
