Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Programme (TRPAP) Treks
With the concept of poverty alleviation through sustainable tourism, the Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Programme (TRPAP) is an initiative of the Government of Nepal with technical and financial support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/ Nepal, Department for International Development (DFID)/ Nepal and Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV)/Nepal.
The Programme aims to contribute to
the poverty alleviation objective of the government through sustainable
tourism development that is pro-poor, pro-environment, pro-rural
communities and pro-women, making the benefits of tourism reach
grass-roots level in the specific programme sites. The programme is
operating in six pilot sites of Nepal (Taplejung, Solukhumbu, Rasuwa,
Chitwan, Rupandehi and Dolpa). The Programme has covered altogether 48
Village Development Committees (VDCs). We believe and fully support the initiative, and thus provide trekkings to these programme sites;
