Are you an Individual, Corporate or Charity interested in having your own private group departure?
If yes, please email info@charitychallenge.com and one of our team will be in touch to help with your enquiry.
Our Charity Challenge representative will be at the airport to welcome and assist you with your flight check-in plus answer any last minute questions before your flight from London to Delhi, India.
You will land in Delhi, India and then catch a connecting flight to Kathmandu, Nepal arriving in the afternoon. Here you will be met by your Charity Challenge team and transfer to your hotel. You will then have the remainder of the afternoon to relax and recover from your flights or explore the amazing sights, sounds and smells of Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu. This evening, your challenge leader will brief you on the project build and any local health & safety procedures you should follow. They will be your point of contact for the entire challenge.
Today you will transfer from Kathmandu by road to Pokhara which is approximately 7-8 hours with rest stops. You will stay overnight in a centrally located hotel and will have a recap of the safety briefing, an orientation of the town and meet the wider team.
After breakfast you will transfer about 90mins to the community you will be building the school for and then head out to the building site. At the beginning of each working day you will be briefed on the specifics of the challenge & tasks ahead including the respective safety and training aspects for each activity. The days will be scheduled around the local working hours and appropriate temperatures. Lunch, water & snacks will be provided on site. Overnight camp.
After breakfast and your morning brief you will be split into teams and tasks will be delegated to you by the construction managers. The tasks will be physical and may include a range of activities from; digging foundations, chipping rocks, lifting and laying blocks, rendering walls, mixing cement, concrete or render, sieving sand, moving materials around the site, and setting window or door frames. Overnight camp.
Another day of good old fashioned but satisfying hard graft. With some newly learned skills you will be progressing with the construction of the school alongside the community members and your team mates. Lunch may provide you with an opportunity to exchange stories within the community, relax or if you are feeling energetic enough to kick a ball around for a quick game of five-a-side. Football is an international language and loved by all. Overnight camp.
You should start to see your team’s work come together and the shape of the building slowly taking place. An open mind and enthusiasm is key; every task you undertake whether it is sifting sand, removing or placing dirt, mixing cement by hand or passing buckets of mortar to another team member contributes to the bigger picture of providing sheltered education. It is a tremendously inspiring process to be involved in. Overnight camp.
Today will be your last day on the worksite. You will have forged new friendships within your team and the community, so emotions will be running high as the time comes to say goodbye. At the end of the day you will also bid farewell to your camp, and head back to the comforts of a hotel in Pokhara.
After an early breakfast you will transfer by road back to Kathmandu. Take time on the transfer to reflect on your time in the community and your achievements. Your final night will be spent in Kathmandu in a hotel.
Today you will depart from Kathmandu for your flights back to London via Delhi, arriving the same day.
