  • The Journey

    We will begin and end our journey in Pokhara, Nepal. From Pokhara, our group service-learning journey will lead us up into the Annapurna circuit of the Himalayas, journeying through the lush Myagdi District, and entering into the ancient Kingdom of Mustang, home of the Thakali people.    While a trip through the Himalayas is inevitably life-changing, this adventure presents some highly unique features, setting it apart from other tours and service opportunities:

  • “Mustang is one of the few places in the Himalayan region that has been able to retain its traditional Tibetan culture unmolested… authentic Tibetan culture now survives only in exile and a few places like Mustang, which have had long historical and cultural ties with Tibet.”       H.H. the Dalai Lama. 

  • Learn Permaculture

    The main objective of the adventure is to learn Permaculture through practice in service to local communities.     Permaculture can be called the art of relationship. It guides us to mimic the patterns and relationships we can find in nature and can be applied to all aspects of human habitation, from agriculture to ecological building, from appropriate technology to education. And even better, we can use permaculture to better understand community relationships.   We will learn Permaculture through educational service at various community partner sites, Bhupen’s Organic Farm in Tatopani, The Village of Paudwar, Shree Jana Adarsh, Secondary School in Kobang and Tibetan Settlement of Marpha.   All along the way, we will be observing the native systems in place, coming to a deeper understanding of Permaculture in the context of these systems, and engaging in hands-on workshops to implement more infrastructure at these sites.   Hands-on workshops may include, but are not limited to: Site analysis & design Permaculture Ethics & Principles Earthworks Soil Building Cover-cropping Bee Keeping Natural Stone building Temperate and Subtropical Permaculture Food Forestry, Planting and Harvesting Seed Saving Creation of Micro-climates and more.   On day 6, in the village of Paudwar, we will have 4 different work shops for you to choose from, taught by local teachers in the village. The workshop topics will include: Bamboo Weaving Natural Stone/Timber-Building Traditional Nepali Cooking and space-intensive Farming (applicable to village-life, or urban-life)     Ensure your Permaculture learning in Nepal for just $ 350
