About this Trip
Home to eight of the ten highest peaks in the world, Nepal is a magnet for adventurous travelers all over the globe. This country is famous for its breathtaking landscapes including the Himalayan Mountains and Buddhist and Hindu temples.
ROAM with us on this women’s-only (16+) expedition as we connect with victims of trafficking, who call themselves "change makers", remodel an orphanage, work with a community art center to provide the arts to children in need, and offer priceless skills to rural single mothers at the ROAM Women's Center. The Nepalese women will take us under their wings as we serve them and they, in turn, serve us.
While in Nepal we will practice yoga, meditation and self-defense with well known instructors as we gaze out at the breathtaking Himalayas. We will explore Kathmandu, Durbar Square, and world famous temples as we learn of the unique and ancient culture of Nepal. With an opportunity for a once in a lifetime flight around the Himalayas (optional), see what the world is talking about when they put Nepal at the top of their bucket list.
We can't wait to serve, connect and explore as ROAMing women!
