PEPY Tours Introduces Learning Adventures in Nepal

Online, May 25, 2012 (Newswire.com) - For the past seven years PEPY Tours has been running educational trips in Cambodia, gaining experience in helping travelers to explore not only this beautiful country, but also its history and culture, while learning about innovative development programs, meeting social entrepreneurs, and staying in local communities. PEPY Tours is now spreading its wings, and extending its learning adventures to Nepal. With its unique blend of cultures, majestic landscape, variety of economic and social development initiatives, and a history that is magnificent and tragic in equal parts, Nepal is both incredibly similar and astoundingly different to Cambodia. Until now Nepal has been lacking in the kind of learning adventures that PEPY Tours offers. This PEPY Tours Nepal journey will give great insight into development projects and create an opportunity to reflect upon how aid work can be both beneficial and detrimental to communities.

Tour Highlights:
- Learn about the vast diversity of Nepal's ethnic groups, cultures, and religions and the current political and development challenges of this complex country
- Admire the grandeur of the world's highest mountain range on a rural trek
- Explore the ancient Kathmandu valley with its highest concentration of World Heritage sites
- Visit non-profit organizations and social enterprises to learn about their work
- Engage in challenging activities and discussions to help you to question and understand your role as a Global Citizen

The new PEPY Tours Nepali trips will take place from 4th to 18th of August, 2012 and 23rd of December, 2012 to 6th of January, 2013. As with all PEPY Tours trips, there is a fundraising element that will go directly to PEPY Tours partner NGO: PHASE Nepal. This fundraising portion will help PHASE to fund their on-going community and education programs in remote areas of Nepal, and tour participants will have a chance to learn about these programs during their PEPY Tours adventure.
