Good Stories of Dream Nepal Travels & Tours:

The local community can benefit in developing their livelihoods and alleviate the poverty in the villages here in Nepal. We've been doing these kinds of projects since last 14 years (5 years with Sagun Tours & Ravels and 9 years with Dream Nepal Travels & Tours).

As Dream Nepal Travel is member of different associations internationally and domestically, we've been involved in different kinds of activities like:

So to promote these kinds of programmes, we had run Migratory Bird Watching Festivals every year since 2000 to 2005 but as for now due to internal political problem we could not continue this programme – General Member of BCN.

Through Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN), we run programmes on environment like tree plantation, garbage disposal in the trekking areas of Nepal, first aid – Associate Member of TAAN.

Through Nepal Mountain association (NMA), we run programmes like saving the great Himalayas and how to protect it from natural disasters like avalanches, which can wipe out entire villages located near by the mountains – General Member of NMA.

Through international organisations, we promote our products in the international market. We are a responsible tour operator, who care for Sustainable Tourism development here in Nepal – Member of TIES (USA) and ATTA (USA).
