KarmaTreks and Adventures with Purpose - Nepal

KarmaTreks and Adventures with Purpose - Nepal KarmaTreks is a Nepal-based organization. We offer adventures with purpose. KarmaFlights is a Nepal-based, non-profit organization.

We believe strongly in each child’s immutable right, to a safe and secure learning environment. In a land famous for its towering peaks and tumultuous rivers, the bright young minds of Nepal are its greatest natural resource. Education, is the key to unlocking that vast potential and solving Nepal’s poverty problem. KarmaFlights was founded in 2011, by a small group of adventure athletes, together

with visionary local school teacher, Prem Bahadur Kunwar. We initially came together, with the shared objective of providing a safe home, and educational support, for a group of eight at-risk children. From this, KarmaFlights activity has expanded today, to include large-scale emergency disaster relief; long-term kinship and merit scholarships; school, library and computer-lab construction; hydro, solar and road infrastructure support; water, hygiene, livestock, and child-nutrition programs; waste management; earthquake preparedness training; and medical, mental, and dental health camps. These initiatives have saved lives, reduced suffering and extended professional and personal development opportunities to thousands of children. Join us as a volunteer or donor today. Invest in purpose, not for profit.

Now you are also goodwill ambassadors of Nepal, because you have walked her trails, listened to her stories, and shared moments with her people and mountains.
Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful journey back home.

On May 13, the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal gathered for a special excursion in honour of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m). The date commemorates the first ascent of the mountain in 1960 by a Swiss-Austrian-Nepali expedition. Upon the recommendation of Karma Trek, I was invited as a representative of Switzerland. We travelled by bus to Muna. The narrow mountain roads and fearless driving made the ride definitely unforgettable. From Muna, we walked for about an hour to Mudi. Mudi is the official home ward of Dhaulagiri. The historic mountain village is beautifully situated directly beneath the mighty 8,000-meter peak, with breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayas. The village welcomed us warmly with flower garlands and a red tika placed on our foreheads. Afterwards, the celebrations began with music played on traditional Nepali instruments such as the madal drum and panche baja. There were traditional dances, including impressive plate-balancing dances, as well as plenty of singing, dancing, and laughter. The villagers had spent four days preparing for the event. We were also treated to delicious traditional food and exceptional hospitality throughout the celebration. The following day, a ceremony was held in honour of Dhaulagiri before we returned by bus. Even on the ride back, the singing and dancing continued — perhaps with a little help from some Raksi along the way.

Arnakot is a small village located about eight hours by jeep from Pokhara. The nearest larger town is Burtibang. The area around Arnakot is surrounded by beautiful hills, small fields, and simple walking paths. The village has a school, a few small shops, and a health post that plays an important role for the local community. Running water is one of the biggest challenges. Often, water is pumped at six o’clock in the morning so that people can fill their buckets and collect enough water for the day.
People come to the health post not only from the village itself, but also from more remote areas. They come for pain treatment, blood pressure checks, or after small accidents. Children are vaccinated there, wounds are stitched, and pregnant women receive care. The health post also serves as a birthing centre. Bishnu and Durkha work there as midwives. Their energy feels almost superhuman. It was beautiful to witness the way they connected with people — with warmth, patience, and genuine care. You can truly feel how needed and appreciated they are.
Most people in Arnakot work in the fields and live a self-sufficient life. During my stay, I was able to help with daily work: cutting wheat, watering the crops, and removing weeds. I drank fresh buffalo milk and experienced meals being cooked over an open fire. The food was incredibly delicious and prepared with so much care. Luxury does not exist here. Many people walk two hours to reach the next town. There are almost no machines, except for a mill and a tractor. If you visit Arnakot, it is best to bring your own toilet paper and coffee, as neither can be found in the village.
I was welcomed into the family of Uncle Jham, where I shared meals and everyday life. Very quickly, I felt like a daughter. Before his retirement, Uncle Jham had been the headmaster of the village school. Even today, you can feel his love for people, the care with which he treats them, and the deep respect the villagers have for him. In fact, everyone in the village treated me like a friend. The kindness and goodwill I experienced came truly from the heart and are difficult to describe in words.
For a few days, I was able to assist in the health post and gain valuable insights into daily healthcare in the village. When it was time to leave Arnakot, Uncle Jham accompanied me on foot. Together we walked through Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve towards Muna.
I am endlessly grateful for this experience. Arnakot and its people left a deep impression on my heart. I will return.

We at KarmaFlights Foundation were honored to participate in the Ornithological Training for local stakeholders organized by Pokhara Bird Society at Ghachowk.

The training provided a wonderful opportunity to learn and exchange ideas on bird conservation, biodiversity, sustainable tourism, and local entrepreneurship. The sessions included insightful discussions on the importance of protecting bird habitats and promoting eco-friendly tourism practices that can benefit local communities while preserving nature.

One of the highlights of the program was the birdwatching session, where participants explored the rich natural surroundings of Ghachowk and observed various bird species in their natural habitat. It was an enriching experience that strengthened our understanding of the importance of conservation and community participation in protecting biodiversity.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Pokhara Bird Society for organizing such a meaningful and informative program, and special thanks to Vulture Restaurant Ghachok for the warm hospitality and support throughout the training.
