Nepal Trek to Raise Funds for UNICEF NZ
World Expeditions is giving adventurous New Zealanders a chance to step up for UNICEF NZ (UN Children’s Fund) by offering a unique trekking experience through the majestic peaks of the Himalayas.
As a world leading adventure travel company, World Expeditions has partnered with UNICEF NZ to help raise funds and generate awareness of UNICEF projects in Nepal.
The UNICEF Sherpa Everest Trek is a 19 day adventure that departs New Zealand on 19 March, 2012. The experience offers breath-taking mountain views, weaving through the famous Buddhist villages and monasteries of the Sherpa people, and the opportunity to visit local UNICEF projects.
Dennis McKinlay, Executive Director at UNICEF NZ, said “It isn’t often people get the opportunity to see what we do for children across the globe. By joining the Sherpa Everest Trek you’ll have the unique opportunity to raise funds and meet the children who will directly benefit from your generous support.”
One of the projects the chosen ‘trekkers’ will visit is ‘The Urban Out of School Programme’. The project gives children aged between 10 and 14, who are not able to attend school because they are involved in child labour or are street children, a chance to learn basic literacy and numeracy as well as life skills.

Tali Emdin, General Manager of World Expeditions NZ, hopes this trip will generate more awareness around UNICEF’s work in Nepal and inspire more people to consider charity travel as a way of seeing the world.
“Charity travel offers so much more to the regular travelling experience. You get to support an organisation that you have just seen doing so much for the community you visited.”
“By accepting the challenge to trek high in the Himalayan Mountains you will help raise funds for UNICEF supported projects in Nepal and ensure the children you meet receive the education necessary to grow and thrive.”
The UNICEF Sherpa Everest Trek also features travel to Namche Bazaar, visiting Thyangboche Monastery and exploring off the beaten trails towards the alpine camp beneath the peak of Ama Dablam.

Dear Travellers,
!!Namaste and warm Greetings from Himalayan Country Nepal!!
My name is Sanjib Adhikari. As an independent trekking guide and tour operator in Nepal, I would like to introduce myself to you.
I was born and grown up in the rugged and remote district in the Central Himalayan region. I started my career in the adventure tourism at the very young age after completing my high school level studies, working for different trekking companies for seven years in different capacities sometimes as porter, assistant guide and now working as an Independent trekking guide. I have already obtained trekking guide license from the ministry of tourism, government of Nepal.
I have guided many international groups especially from Europe, USA, Canada, Australia in Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Mustang, Dolpo, Kanchanjunga, Makalu, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and Helambu regions in Nepal and Mt. Kailash, Lasha in tibet also Ladak and Sikkim in India and have thus gained diversified experience and extensive knowledge on geography, religion, culture, local flora and fauna and on environmental issues in the areas where I personally organized the treks. My first experience on many trekking routes has made me an expert on making unique trekking itineraries as per the tastes, interests and budget of the western clients. For those international trekkers who want to climb high mountain passes and peaks, I can also organize this challenging and rewarding adventure. My experience in adventure tourism includes climbing to Mera peak, Island peak, Kalapathar, Gokyo peak, Tseryo ri and I have led expeditions across many high passes in Nepal, Larkye pass, Ampulapcha Pass, Chola pass, Renjula pass, Tashilapcha pass, Ganjala pass, thorong pass, Tilicho pass, (Mesokantola pass).
There are many types of treks available in Nepal, ranging from relaxed easy trekking where you can experience Nepalese Culture and Village life staying overnight in local lodges (tea-houses) in popular regions, to remote and restricted areas trekking that are off the beaten track and seldom visited by foreigners. All treks offer spectacular scenery and a good experience about Nepalese culture. If anyone wants to have tailor made treks, I can meet their requirements.
From time to time I keep upgrading my skills and knowledge by taking refresher trainings on safety, sanitation, first–aid, emergency rescue, hygiene and cooking. I am fluent in English, Chinese and computer literate. I can explain all tourism related topics to the best of my knowledge.
My clients have been very pleased with my professional guiding services, and you may read some of their comments on my website. Please contact me at the email address listed below if you have any questions or would like to discuss a possible trek in Nepal! I will look forward to hearing from you!
