Educational Tour

A trek specially designed for school parties and educationalists, who are keen to study Nepal's educational system at first hand. It provides an excellent opportunity to visit schools and colleges in various parts of the country (both city and rural), to meet students and their teachers in an exchange of ideas, to observe differences in teaching methods, to determine the place of education in Nepalese Society. Any differences in culture and language are easily overcome as the trek is conducted in an atmosphere of friendship and goodwill so typical of the Nepali way of life.

WHY THE EDUCATIONAL TOUR

Education is the process of developing the mind through different methods. In other words, it makes the children of today the most responsible and capable citizens of tomorrow. For theoretical and practical experience both training and knowledge is needed. The city students, with sufficient theoretical knowledge are being deprived of first hand practical experience of real Nepalese life, culture, religion and society. They are forgetting the reality of themselves as well as of their motherland. They are deprived of the knowledge of how their forefathers used to live in the villages, and the hard lives they had to lead. Therefore, the students need to visit the remote village areas and schools to observe true life and culture at first hand.

THE OBJECTIVES OF OUR MISSION 

1. The participating students will be introduced to students of different countries Schools and colleges.
