Incoming - Agency spends proceeds on social establishment, cooperation with travel organizers sought. 

September 20, 1996 - Travelers to Asia are seized with a feeling of helplessness and sympathy, in view of the poverty and partly catastrophic living conditions, which they encounter between air-conditioned minibus and luxury hotels. Small donations on children, old and sick clam the conscience, but change nothing in the situation. 

In Nepal, one of the poorest countries of the world, a travel organizer is taking the lead with good example for the very first time by combining the business with tourism support the needy people. Inspiration Tours & Travels (P) Ltd., & Inspiration Treks & Expedition (P) Ltd., ware established in January 1996 and is active at present with 16 staff members, including guides. The five-body management team has more than 45 years of experience at its disposal. Marketing Director and Partner, Mr. Rabindra Rayamajhi who is engaged in the trade for more than 19 years, on the idea of Inspiration Tours & Travels & Inspiration Treks & Expedition: "All the partners, who are involved in the industry, have a financial basis with them, which allows us a higher living involved in the industry, have a financial basis with them, which allows us a higher living standard. We perceive a sense of responsibility towards our countrymen, who live not very fine. Therefore, we spend 20% of our profit on people, who are bound to live under the poverty line." 

The Incoming Agency supports private projects, to which money is forwarded directly without roundabouts. Money is accounted at the end of each fiscal year. The "Temple of Health" was chosen as the first institution, a private, Government-recognized, non-profit psychiatric clinic/hospital in Kathmandu. Next to the Government hospital, which accommodates patients under very bad conditions, the "Temple of Health", despite increasing number of psychic people, as well as drug and alcohol addicts, is the only clinic of this kind in Nepal.

The program of the organizers entails everything, which is of interest to the travellers in Nepal. More than 30 trekking tours suitable for each taste, ranging from one-day hike to the 4-week trekking tour to the Everest Base Camp. Round-trips to the Himalaya, guiding at places of cultural interests in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, jungle safaris through the Chitwan National Park, rafting and, naturally, hotel and flight bookings.
