It’s the experience of unparalleled beauty, where your eyes can feast on the enthralling beauty of nature; it’s the experience of adventure, where every step encourages another step to move forward without looking back, it’s the experience of a peaceful life away from the usual skyscrapers. Moreover, this time it’s also an experience of hardship, where your eyes can witness the earthquake life of people in the remote villages of Gorkha, Barpak, Laprak, Gumda, and Lapu. The beauty, culture, and hospitality of these villages in the Gorkha district of Nepal have never failed to attract tourists in the past. However, the destructive earthquake on 25 April 2015 very badly shattered the settlement making almost everyone homeless, jobless, and hopeless.
Therefore, this trek recommended by Dream Adventure trek is designed to attract your attention to these areas to help these people get back to normalcy while helping you fulfill their dreams of trekking the trails of Nepal. Despite the destruction, the remote track, the Himalayan panorama, the diverse scenery, and the unique culture are very welcoming and the people here are still ready to serve their guests with the best they can offer.
Starting in Kathmandu, this 11-day Barpak Trek with Project in School itinerary will take you to the five main beautiful Gorkha villages, Barpak, Laprak, Gumda, Lapu, and Lapubesi, where along with the beauty of nature you can also enjoy the culture, tradition, settlement and the hospitality of Gurung people. The Kathmandu city tour is also included in the same package. Since the lodges were destroyed by the earthquake; this trek is a homestay trek with local food and accommodation with very basic amenities. However, a full board is ensured during the trek. Local transportation is available up (the starting point of the trek to the Ending) and from Lapubesi village (the ending point of the trek). Private jeep can be arranged on request but requires extra cost.
