Welcome to seven days of meaningful impact and cultural exploration! Your participation in this trip to Nepal not only immerses you in hands-on solar installation but also directly supports the community by helping cover project costs. From equipment and materials to maintenance and technical support. Beyond the installation, you’ll meet local community members, experience the culture of Nepal , and gain firsthand knowledge of how solar energy transforms lives. Every moment of your involvement contributes to a lasting impact and a richer understanding of sustainable development in the region.
During this trip, you’ll take part in installing a solar system that will directly benefit an off-grid community member in Nepal. You’ll be fully immersed in the project; working alongside the beneficiaries, learning about solar technology, and practicing safe installation methods. While the technical details will be shared closer to the trip, rest assured that everyone, regardless of prior experience, will have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully.
Nepali fluency is not required to participate. Our bilingual staff will be on hand to provide translation and guidance throughout the experience. Still, we encourage travelers to brush up on basic Nepali in the weeks leading up to the trip to enhance cultural connection and engagement with the community.
What's Included
Upon arrival in Nepal, travelers will be greeted at the airport and escorted by GRID staff or shuttle services to their accommodations, where you’ll meet the rest of the team. Your participation cost covers accommodations, transportation, meals, and planned activities throughout the trip. Please note that airfare and travel insurance are not included and should be arranged individually.
Over the course of the program, you’ll spend 3 to 4 days at the project installation site, with the remaining time dedicated to cultural activities and exploration in Mexico. Our experienced Nepal team will ensure that dietary restrictions, medical needs, and physical limitations are taken into account, creating a meaningful and memorable experience for every participant.
