Life's An Adventure donates Nepal tour profits for flood relief

Australian walking tour company Life’s An Adventure has announced it will donate 100% of the profits from its March 2027 Nepal tours to Nepal’s Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund following the recent devastating floods.

Although none of the company’s tours or guests were affected, the disaster has deeply saddened the Life’s An Adventure team, which has developed a strong connection with Nepal and the local people who help deliver its walking experiences.

Importantly, the Annapurna region visited on the company’s upcoming tour has not been affected by the flooding. Life’s An Adventure believes that continuing to visit safe and unaffected parts of Nepal is one of the most meaningful ways Australians can support local communities.

“Like so many Australians, we have a great affection for Nepal and its people,” said Life’s An Adventure owner Mark Norek.

“The recent floods have been heartbreaking to see. While the areas we visit have not been affected, we wanted to find a meaningful way to contribute. Tourism supports local guides, drivers, hotels, restaurants, families and communities, and Nepal needs that support.”

The company’s Authentic Nepal & Annapurna Heli Experience is a seven-day pack-free walking journey through the lower-altitude Annapurna foothills. Designed for travellers wanting to experience the Himalayas without committing to a long and demanding high-altitude trek, the itinerary visits traditional Gurung villages, terraced farmland, forests and spectacular mountain landscapes.

Guests can meet local people, visit a village school and enjoy a cultural performance by a local women’s group in Ghandruk, while quieter trails provide a more intimate experience away from the busiest trekking routes.

The adventure culminates with a spectacular helicopter flight to Annapurna Base Camp, delivering guests into the heart of the high Himalayas, surrounded by towering peaks including Annapurna I and Machhapuchhre, or Fishtail Peak.
