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
