We at the Thirdeye Foundation want to bring life to this amazing area by organizing and supporting Sustainable Treks based on Homestay tours and organizing various volunteering activities in the poor villages. This in turn will help the local communities financially and gives you a unique experience while traveling through the valleys of Dhading.
