Kina Nepal Trek
The Kina Trek was a fantastic trip! Thanks to all the participants for making it such a success. The Girls School Hostel is completed with 40 girls attending from the region. Kina provides full support for the 40 girls through our Education Program.
“Trek through the Solu Khumbu – Everest Region of the Himalayas, participate in a culturally rich experience and see firsthand Kina’s impactful education development projects in rural Nepal. Spend a couple of days working at the Girls School Hostel project currently under construction with our Nepali partners. Visit Women’s Empowerment Projects that are underway in rural villages.”
Join us on our annual Nepal trek to visit and experience the Kina supported development projects that are empowering girls and women through access to education.
Experience trekking through the Himalayan mountains when the rhododendron forests are in full bloom, when the days are warm and the evenings are cool and enjoy the chance to visit with local families in their homes. Spend a night in a remote Buddhist monastery. All of this and more as you help young women in Nepal get an education they would never manage to acheive without your help.
The adventure starts from Kathmandu on April 25 – May 11, 2011. Take a trip that will not only change your life, but will help change the lives of local girls as well. As you enjoy trekking through Nepal, you will also visit Kina supported development projects that are helping girls and women complete their education in a country where doing so is fraught with obstacles.
The primary purpose of this trek will be to raise money for the completion of the Girls School Hostel in the regional center of Salleri, eastern Nepal. The hostel will support girls in the Kina education program who are moving on to college level education and who require a safe place to live while attending school. All trekkers will be required to raise a $1,500 donation (tax deductible) that will be used directly to fund the construction of the hostel.
We will be running this trek with our local partners in Nepal and adventure travel experts in providing an unusual and unique experience that most visitors to Nepal never have. The core two week trek will take you through the southern area of the Everest region (Solu) after flying into Phaplu airport (near the girls hostel project) and will end at Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu. An optional extended trek, continuing on from Lukla, will be available for those with more time and a desire to trek up to the beautiful Gokyo Lakes, near Mt Everest.
