Tourism With a Purpose
Malung Treks believes tourism can contribute to stronger and more resilient communities.
Every journey gives something back
The mountains and villages of Nepal are home to the people who make every trek possible. We believe travel should leave these communities stronger.
Through our social work we support rural families, respond when disaster strikes and invest in projects chosen by the communities themselves.
Our focus areas
Community Support
Working with village committees on the projects they choose.
Disaster Relief
Emergency food, shelter and rebuilding after earthquakes and floods.

Support for Local Families
