KarmaTreks and Adventures with Purpose - Nepal

KarmaTreks is a Nepal-based organization. We offer adventures with purpose. KarmaFlights is a Nepal-based, non-profit organization.

We believe strongly in each child’s immutable right, to a safe and secure learning environment. In a land famous for its towering peaks and tumultuous rivers, the bright young minds of Nepal are its greatest natural resource. Education, is the key to unlocking that vast potential and solving Nepal’s poverty problem. KarmaFlights was founded in 2011, by a small group of adventure athletes, together with visionary local school teacher, Prem Bahadur Kunwar. We initially came together, with the shared objective of providing a safe home, and educational support, for a group of eight at-risk children. From this, KarmaFlights activity has expanded today, to include large-scale emergency disaster relief; long-term kinship and merit scholarships; school, library and computer-lab construction; hydro, solar and road infrastructure support; water, hygiene, livestock, and child-nutrition programs; waste management; earthquake preparedness training; and medical, mental, and dental health camps. These initiatives have saved lives, reduced suffering and extended professional and personal development opportunities to thousands of children. Join us as a volunteer or donor today. Invest in purpose, not for profit.

Happy World Tourism Day 2025!

Tourism is more than travel—it is about connecting hearts, cultures, and communities. This year’s theme reminds us that sustainable and responsible tourism can uplift lives, protect our environment, and celebrate the beauty of diversity.

At KarmaFlights Foundation Nepal and Karma Treks, we believe tourism has the power to create positive change. From promoting eco-friendly treks to supporting education and community development in rural Nepal, we strive to ensure that every journey leaves behind footprints of hope, opportunity, and sustainability.

On this special day, we honor the spirit of travelers, guides, local hosts, and all who make Nepal a welcoming and unforgettable destination. May we continue to travel with purpose and compassion.

Let’s keep making tourism a force for good.

Happy Ghatasthapana!

Today marks the beginning of Dashain, Nepal’s biggest and most cherished festival, with the sacred ritual of Ghatasthapana. On this day, families plant jamara (barley seeds) as a symbol of prosperity, blessings, and new beginnings.

Dashain is more than a festival—it is a celebration of unity, renewal, and the triumph of good over evil. May this Dashain bring peace, good health, and happiness to every home.

From all of us at KarmaFlights Foundation Nepal, we send our warm wishes for a blessed and joyful festival season.

🇳🇵 Happy Constitution Day, Nepal! 🇳🇵

On this day, we honor the spirit of unity, courage, and resilience of the Nepali people. The Constitution of Nepal (2015) was born in a time of immense hardship—after the earthquake and amidst the blockade—yet our nation stood strong and gave itself a path forward.

Today, Nepal once again faces challenges. The recent Gen Z movement, which began as a peaceful call for change against corruption and restrictions on expression, reflects the voices of a new generation. While the early days were difficult, ongoing dialogue gives us hope that this movement will guide us toward peace and positive transformation.

Here in Pokhara, life continues calmly, and both domestic and international flights are operating as usual.

We remain grateful to our global friends and KarmaFlights family for standing with us in every season—through challenges and through celebrations. Just as we overcame the trials of 2015, we believe Nepal will rise stronger again, creating a brighter tomorrow for generations to come. 🌸✨

Happy Haritalika Teej!

On this beautiful occasion of Haritalika Teej, the colorful festival of Nepali women, we extend our heartfelt greetings to all the mothers, sisters, daughters, and dear friends—both women and men around the globe.
Teej is a time when women, decorated in vibrant red saris, bangles and ornaments, come together in joy and devotion. Married women return to their maiti ghar (parental home), where they celebrate with music, dance, laughter, and heartfelt expressions of both happiness and struggle. Through these songs and gatherings, women share their experiences, joys, and sorrows openly.
Fasting on Teej is a tradition of deep love and devotion, as women observe it for the wellbeing and long life of their husbands and families. At the same time, Teej carries the spirit of togetherness, freedom, and sisterhood.
As the monsoon season comes to an end, the skies clear, and so do hearts—families reunite, friends gather, and communities strengthen their bonds. Teej reminds us not only of devotion and tradition but also of celebration, resilience, and shared humanity.

Wishing everyone a joyful, blessed, and colorful Teej!

Happy Father’s Day (बुबाको मुख हेर्ने दिन / Kushe Aunsi)

In Nepali culture, Father’s Day is lovingly known as “Bubako Mukh Herne Din” — a day to look upon the face of one’s father with respect, gratitude, and love. This day also coincides with Kushe Aunsi, when families honor their fathers, seek blessings, and remember those who are no longer with us.

Our ancient wisdom teaches us:

“पितृ देओ भव, मातृ देओ भव, गुरु देओ भव”
Father is like God, Mother is like God, Teacher is like God.

This timeless saying reminds us that parents and teachers are sacred figures who shape our lives with love, sacrifice, and guidance. A father is not only a parent but also a protector, a role model, and a teacher whose values remain with us forever.

On this special day, KarmaFlights Foundation extends heartfelt respect to all the great fathers and father figures of the world — for their strength, resilience, and unconditional love that nurture generations.

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, father figures, and mentors who continue to guide us with wisdom and compassion.

🌸 Program Update | GESA & MHM Orientation

Karma Flights Foundation is currently conducting a week-long series of Gender Equality and Social Awareness (GESA) and Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) sessions at Bhaskar Memorial School, Phoolbhari, Pokhara.

Each day, each class from Grades 6–8, comprising 60–70 mixed-gender students, participates in three interactive sessions over six days. These activity-based learning sessions make discussions on gender equity, inclusivity, and menstrual health engaging, practical, and relatable.

Our dedicated GESA & MHM officers are working smartly with these bright young students—addressing sensitive issues with care while linking learning to the school curriculum.

We sincerely thank the school administration, teachers, and students for their active support, and extend our cordial thanks to NFORSDT Foundation for their valuable coordination with the school.

✨ Together, we are breaking taboos, building confidence, and shaping a healthier, more equitable generation.

Happy Shree Krishna Janmashtami

On this sacred day, we celebrate the divine birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu—protector of the universe.

Lord Krishna’s teachings in the Bhagavad Gita remain timeless, guiding humanity towards:
✨ Dharma (Righteousness)
✨ Bhakti (Devotion)
✨ Sadachaar (Good deeds)
✨ Nyaya (Justice)

He inspires us to walk the path of love and compassion, to share selflessly, and to fulfill our duties with pure devotion—without attachment to the fruits of action, for the results will follow naturally.

The melodious notes of his flute, his love for Radha, and his life as the divine cowherd remind us of the beauty of simplicity, devotion, and eternal love.

May this Janmashtami bring peace, joy, and divine blessings into your life.
