The project

A long-term rural development project in eastern Nepal

In Nepal’s Arun Valley, mountain villages are connected by walking routes, family networks, and fragile access infrastructure. The Rural Development in the Arun Valley project supports locally rooted work with Sherpa communities in Khembalung, including the villages and hamlets connected with Nepalko Sathi’s activities.

Nomad’s Land presents this project as a voluntary contribution option for travelers who want part of their journey to support community resilience in a remote Himalayan region.

Why Nomad’s Land supports this project

This project reflects a form of tourism solidarity that goes beyond the trip itself: supporting remote mountain communities, long-term relationships, and locally guided rural development. It is especially relevant for travelers who have visited Nepal, trekked in Himalayan regions, or want to contribute to community resilience in mountain areas.
