The Ruby Valley Trek in July 2025 with Alliance Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd. was a truly powerful and meaningful experience for a 32-member French student group. The team completed a 21-day volunteer and trekking program in the beautiful Ruby Valley region of Nepal based on Rubi Valley Rural Municipality.
Although the monsoon season brought heavy rain, muddy trails, and challenging conditions, it also revealed a unique side of Ruby Valley. The green landscapes, fresh mountain air, dramatic scenery, and peaceful walking routes created an unforgettable trekking experience that cannot be described in words.
During Ruby Valley Trek, the group actively supported 12 local schools by distributing stationery, sports materials, and warm clothing. In addition, they taught English, cleaned villages, built greenhouses, and helped distribute general medicines in coordination with the Sertung Health Post, supporting local patients and community health activities.
Moreover, the team also worked to raise tourism awareness in the region, helping local communities understand the value of sustainable trekking tourism. As a result, this project became a strong example of responsible travel combined with real community service.
Cultural exchange, homestay experience, traditional food, trekking through remote villages, and working closely with local guides, translators, and strong porters made Ruby Valley Trek journey even more special. Furthermore, the constant support from Alliance Treks and Nepal coordinator Mr. Kul Bahadur Gurung took the entire experience to the next level.
This volunteering program, which has been running formally since 2012, continues to grow stronger and more impactful each year. Therefore, the team expressed deep satisfaction and appreciation for being part of this meaningful project.
I myself on behalf of MGH-2025 as a president, Ms. Lucia Alino Carbonell and the 32-member team from France sincerely would like to thank Mr. Kul and the entire Alliance Treks team for their dedication and contribution to Ruby Valley, Dhading, Nepal. We also would like to express their strong intention to return again and highly recommend Alliance Treks to future volunteers and travelers.
We believe MGH-2025 assisted and impacted at least 1000 students and 2500 locals this year in helping different ways. We love Ruby Valley and people from Ruby Valley Ganesh Himal so much.
