Day 1: Welcome to Kathmandu
Touch down in Kathmandu, ready for the start of your service school trip to Nepal. After meeting the Adventure Leader at the airport, transfer and settle into your accommodation, before rejoining them for a trip briefing. In this, they’ll explore what the week has in store, provide tips on adapting to local culture, and offer advice on staying safe while travelling.
