Volunteering and Langtang Valley

Volunteering and Langtang Valley Trek program is a unique, immersive program organised by Kathmandu Summit Adventure that blends community service with high-altitude trekking. Volunteering and Langtang Valley Trek program is a dual-purpose initiative that allows participants to contribute meaningfully to rural Nepali communities through volunteer work and then embark on a scenic and culturally rich trek through the Langtang Valley, one of Nepal’s most beautiful and accessible Himalayan regions.

Volunteers typically begin their journey in Kathmandu, receiving an orientation before travelling to a village or school project site where they engage in community service, such as teaching English, environmental conservation, or health awareness. After the volunteering phase, the program transitions to the Langtang Valley Trek, which offers stunning landscapes, Tamang heritage culture, and a profound connection with nature.
