Gorkha Health Post Volunteer Program - 14 Days

Gorkha Health Post Volunteer Program (GHVP) is run by medical personnel and health experts in the remote areas of Gorkha, where the government of Nepal is unable to provide formal and quality medical care to the people. These health experts come from different parts of the world, including Australia. Many people of the remote parts of Gorkha have to travel far off for basic medical attention. Further, superstition and orthodox methods of treatments are still common in the remote areas of Gorkha, so people still refer to witch doctors and shamans, instead of going to hospitals. You may be amazed to see people practicing this kind of treatment, even in the 21st century. It seems that they are accustomed to this kind of treatment, but it does not mean that they are unaware of health posts and hospitals because they also believe in medical doctors very much.

Every year, Ace Holidays gives importance on the continual developments of Gorkha, particularly in clean water, organized sanitation, hygiene (WASH), nutrition, and immunizations, which will boost the health of the people. In addition to this, it also seeks supporters and contributors to establish a health post in Manbu Village. Manbu is also a model village of Gorkha, which has a total population of 1,325, and which has recently started to use improved toilets.

You will take 6 hrs from Arupokhari to reach Mangbu by road. Arupokhari is located on a foothill and offers a stunning view of Ganesh and Manaslu Mountains, including some of the parts of Annapurna Ranges. Ace Holidays also plans to construct an advanced fully equipped and staffed hospital, which will serve more than 4,000, residing in 30 different villages, in the future. This planning of Ace Holidays comes under its Corporate Social Responsibility because Ace Holidays wants to develop the community and environment, in which it operates its trek For example, Ace Holidays operates Manaslu Trek in this region
