Our remarkable projects for the society till date are as follows:

Education Related Projects

First project – Lamasthan Basic School, Jyamrung, Dhading(2009)

In 2009, we constructed a five roomed building for a primary school at an underdeveloped rural village of Jyamrung with necessary furniture and accessories like bench, desk, blackboard, etc. We were able to accomplish our dream of this school with the help of Roman Mueller and his kind hearted friends from Germany. Later, the school was upgraded from primary to secondary level. There are three lower secondary teachers in the school. Himal Eco Treks had committed for the salary of the teachers for five years. At present, Bharat Thapa – the founder member of Himal Eco Treks supports the students of the school with school bags in co-operation with Michal.

Second project – Jyoti Primary School, Jharlang, Dhading (2010)

Later in 2010, Himal Eco Treks came up with an idea of Jyoti Primary School in another rural village of Dhading i.e. in Jharlang. The school of five rooms was constructed with a commitment of paying salary of one primary teacher for five years. Later, the building was damaged by the earthquake of April, 2015. After the earthquake, an earthquake resistant building was constructed with six rooms. The school is supported by Roman Mueller in co-operation of Himal Eco Treks.

Third Project – Puru Primary School and Limju Primary School

In 2010, other two primary schools were constructed. Each school had five room capacities. Salary of two primary teachers for five years was committed for this project. But the earthquake of 2015 was very devastating. It destroyed the entire school building. Hence, a new earthquake resistant building was constructed that had six rooms.

Earthquake Relief Projects

The earthquake of April, 2015 was very devastating. The earthquake did injustice to various rural households in Nepal especially in Gorkha, Dolakha, Dhading, Sindhupalchowk and Karve districts. Not a single house was still after the earthquake. Some people were left lifeless while many were left homeless and helpless. During this crucial stage, Himal Eco Treks tried its best to help people as there is nothing above the humanity. During that time, we distributed tents, foods and tarpaulin. Around 10000 people of Dhading, Sindhupalchowk and Kavre districts were benefitted with our relief projects at that heart aching phase of Nepal. We even supported for temporary class rooms in Sindhupalchowk, Kavre and Dhading post earthquake. We supported 2 schools of Sindhupalchowk, 3 schools of Kavre and 3 schools of Dhading during that time.
