The Himalayan Summit

What do you have planned for New Year 2019?

Are you a curious educator looking to

bring meaningful service-learning into the classroom?
The Himalayan Summit will bring together members of the Nagarkot
Location: Lapsi Tree Hotel & Resort, Nagarkot

community in Nepal and professionals from international schools around

the world. Whether you are an international school teacher, administrator
or CAS coordinator, this event will be a perfect opportunity to form lasting
connections with a rural community in Nepal.

Working in collaboration with Prabin Gautam and his Himalayan Voluntourism

team, the focus for this year is on working alongside the people of Nagarkot to:

Develop a quality primary education

(2h drive from Kathmandu)

Explore the role of women in the community

Preserve the beautiful environment of their

mountain village

By interacting with members of the local community as well as with colleagues

from international school who have years of experience in leading projects in
Nagarkot, you will return to your schools with a clear action plan and a lasting
link to this wonderfully welcoming Nepali community.

For a unique professional development opportunity,

join us in the foothills of
the Himalayas for the 2019 New Year.
