Home Stay Community Project Volunteer Trek
Trip Overview
Home-stay at Achane Village is a unique experience. All accommodations, lodging and fooding are offered at the individual houses on a rotational basis. Each host family provides clean bed, toilet and a family dining room. Trekking to Mt. Ganesh Himal and Mt. Manasulu is the way of Achane where we can provide local guide, porters and trekking equipment. Because Achane is equipped to accommodate all trekking needs, no outside services and equipments are necessary for experiencing those entire packages. Individual trekkers and guided groups should follow the set menu, lodging fee and other services of the committee. However the visitor have choices to accept either some or all the activities of the package. We build on already-existing opportunities for generating income. We train and support village women’s cooperatives to offer tourists Traditional Himalayan Homestays, contribute to the hygienic, cologically friendly, and sustainable operation of these facilities. Local people would get direct benefit from home stay programs which goes into a community improvement fund.
We also train men and women to be village-based nature guides, offering visitors short walks or day hikes to look for plants, birds and other wildlife.These eco-tourism activities preserve the traditional culture while improving livelihoods; and it all adds up to communities being willing and able to protect their fragile high-altitude ecosystem. Homestay Experience
Adventure, natural beauty and caring for the environment – how often does one get an opportunity to help their environment when they go on holiday? With Himalayan Homestays, you can. Here’s a concept that wraps travel, tourism and ecological development in to one attractive and out-of-the-world experience.
Homestays offer you a unique opportunity to stay with and share the culture of the Achane people in remote villages, while trekking through the rugged habitat of the lap of Mount Ganesh and Manaslu Himal. By staying with the locals ofAchane, you help them generate income from tourism activities in their region.
The package includes the experience of quaint customs at the village as well as natural / spiritual experience at Ganesh Himal and Manasulu areas. The package covers 4 to 7 days according to the time availability and the interest of the visitors. Even the trip could be a small part of greater Tsum Valley trek and Gangajamuna

"Best way to experience Nepal"
We did the 14 days Nepal budget tour and we could not be more happy with our choice. In only 2 weeks we visited Kathmandu, Chitwan national park, Pokhara and did a 5 day trek in the Annapurna region. The organization was flawless (like a swiss clock). We felt safe and welcomed in every place. Our guides Harka (Chitwan) and Ganesh (Pokhara and trek) + Bishal (our porter) did an outstanding job. We recommend them and the whole trip 100%. It was much better than we could have imagined. In the end, we recommand everyone to visit the beautiful places from Nepal and meet its warm and welcoming people.
"💯"
It was an wonderful experience with himalayan social journey,mingmar and Rupesh are our guide and they did so well. Everyday it was on time ,well planned and executed trek👍
"Amazing Everest Base Camp Trek!!"
Had an absolute amazing time. The Himalayas were beautiful, had blue skies and views everyday. Himalayan Social Journey and our guides Mingmar Sherpa and Rupesh went beyond our expectations. Definety helped us reach Everest Base Camp without any issues. Would definitely do another trek with them and would not use anyone else.
"Awesome Experience!!!"
Mingmar sherpa dai was our trek lead along-with Tenzing dai, Janak and Siddharth. All of them really helped us during entire the trek. Whether it is stay, food or assistance for any additional request. I would highly recommend them as trek leads if you are planning for the trek in and around Nepal. Specially EBC.
"Best Experience"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Trishuli rafting experience! I did this rafting in October 2024. Himalayan Social Journey made it safe, fun, and unforgettable. Thrilling rapids and stunning scenery combined for the perfect adventure. Highly recommend!
"Best Experience Of My Life!"
It was my first trekking experience in Nepal and Himalayan Social Journey made the entire experience memorable. They are very professional and will help you at every point. A special word of thanks to Sushma, who helped a lot throughout and was my go-to person. My guide Dinesh was a gem and so was the porter, Ramkrishna. Dinesh saved my life a few times (literally) and he is so efficient and helpful that it is hard to put in words. Want togo back to Nepal through HSJ, there is a lot more to do. If you are planning any activity in Nepal you may blindly book with HSJ and be assured of an experience of a lifetime. These guys are more than a tour planner, they are your friend. philosopher, guide all in one!
