School projects

Royal Mountain Travel is well aware of its social responsibilities and has sponsored a number of projects to meet this obligation. We have identified a list of specific and worthwhile community projects for rural people in the areas of education and community support programs having both immediate and long term benefits.

Shree Panchakanya Higher Secondary School project, Belkot, Nuwakot
Belkot, a tiny village located north of Kathmandu en-route to the Langtang region, has a secondary school whose building was in a dilapidated condition. It had a leaky roof and was in desperate need of more furniture. This village is relatively isolated and predominantly inhabited by the Tamang ethnic community. We have sponsored this school as a part of our philanthropy program and have provided new furniture and necessary stationery material. We have also refurnished the class rooms and constructed a new building as well as some toilets.

Computers for schools
On hearing of this government school’s attempts to set up a computer classroom, RMT has sent three more computers that volunteers are using to teach the teachers and students computer basics.. Shoestring & Koning Aap, working with RMT, have also given three computers to a village school in Bangeswal, Pyuthan, in the mid-western region of Nepal. The Dutch company also assisted with providing materials for building school furniture at a primary school in Garimudi, Dolakha.

Home stay projects

Royal Mountain Travel is well aware of its social responsibilities and has sponsored a number of projects to meet this obligation. We have identified a list of specific and worthwhile community projects for rural people in the areas of education and community support programs having both immediate and long term benefits.

Royal Mountain Travel has helped in strengthening sustainable local economic development in Panauti, Bungamati and Lubhu through home stay program for visitors. The project has empowered 20 low-income households of these rural areas by giving them the training and materials they need to start and run their own bed and breakfast businesses. In particular, in Panauti, under the home stay project, local households, after suitable training, have improved the quality standards required to host guests and have been successful in raising revenue to not only support their families but also to run age-old handicraft businesses. There has been a marked decrease in rural unemployment in these areas after the commencement of our programs.

Drinking water supply project

We have identified a list of specific and worthwhile community projects for rural people in the areas of education and community support programs having both immediate and long term benefits.

Some rural areas in the Chitwan and Annapurna trekking regions were found to be lacking in clean drinking water supplies due to the drying up of underground water sources and streams. Untimely rains and lack of funds of the local village development committees had further aggravated the problem as a result of which, the locals as well as private and public organizations were facing a lot of problems. As a step towards resolving the water crisis, Royal Mountain Travel sponsored supply of clean drinking water to local primary schools in Chitwan and to villages on the Annapurna trekking route.
