Tracing Nepal’s “BACK TO THE ROOTS“ trip is a unique blend of travel meets purpose! The trip invites Nepalis living at home and overseas to leave their comfort zone and luxuries to experience the incredible action of Nepali charities Children & Youth First (CYF) and Maya Universe Academy along with plenty of fun, building lasting bonds with fellow travellers as the trip ventures to the idyllic Bandipur and Chitwan. The BACK TO THE ROOTS trip is the most popular trip offered by Tracing Nepal, bringing over 55 travellers from UK, USA, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hong Kong and Singapore till date.
In 2024, this two-week long purposeful travel programme will run between the 2nd September to 15th September. Priced at £950 per person, the cost will cover travel, accommodation and catering for the period of the trip (international flights are not included). Apart from covering the costs of the traveller, BACK TO THE ROOTS directly supports the charity partners Children & Youth First and Maya Universe Academy with financial support and through time and expertise from the travellers that join Tracing Nepal.
Travellers spending time at the two charity partners will support through renovation work at CYF and agriculture/farming work at Maya. The detailed itinerary can already be found on the Tracing Nepal website. The travel experience in 2023 was packed with unique sessions such as “Indigenous Food”, “Salve Making Workshop”, “TapOut Cross Fit” from experts and professionals. This year will aim to deliver more exciting sessions including a “Gurkha Challenge” in addition to the “Tracing Nepal Race“, a treasure-hunt style activity!
