April 25th marks the one-year anniversary of the 2015 April and subsequent May catastrophic earthquakes in Nepal – the worst natural disaster to strike the mountainous landlocked country for more than 80 years. The earthquake killed more than 8,000 people, left two million homeless and destroyed more than 5,000 schools – but it also had a major impact on tourism, the nation’s single largest industry, with visitors dropping by more than half in the last 12 months.

We are so grateful for the support provided by our travellers to help rebuild Nepal during the past 12 months - whether it be donating to the Nepal Earthquake Appeal, taking part in community rebuild projects or supporting the country’s tourism industry by continuing to travel to Nepal.

Together, we have made a difference to Nepal in a real and meaningful way.

From all of us at World Expeditions, thank you!

Nepal, Rebuild Nepal, Responsible Travel Nepal
