How are student and school group trips planned in Nepal?

The short answer

Group trips for students work best with a clear learning aim, such as culture and heritage, environment, adventure or service. The itinerary should match the group's age, include enough supervision and keep days realistic, with rest time and flexible plans for weather.

Ask your planner about ratio of leaders to students, safe transport, medical support and insurance, and brief the group on behaviour at temples and in villages. Share dietary needs and any medical conditions in advance, and keep a list of contacts for every student and leader.
