Community Action Treks (CAT) is a
new travel company, specialising in trekking and climbing in the
Himalaya and other mountain regions. Headed by mountaineer Doug
Scott and trek leader Jeff Frew, and backed up by knowledgeable
and enthusiastic office and field staff, our combined experience
of running treks and climbing expeditions mean we are truly specialists
in the areas where we operate. We are fully bonded members of ATOL,
which protects any money you have paid us for your holiday.
Promoting Positive
Partnerships
"Take
an awe-inspiring trip into the Himalaya and you won't just be changing
your perspective on life. You'll also be responsible for helping
to improve the health, wealth and education of the people who live
there."
- Doug Scott C.B.E.
the
first Briton to climb Everest
Community Action Treks is the fundraising arm
of the UK charity Community
Action Nepal. Once our running costs are covered, the proceeds
from our treks go to fund community development projects in the
areas where we take trekkers. Working closely with the local people,
who
always contribute to the funding and construction work, we fund
projects like schools, health posts, clean water supplies and income
generating schemes, that benefit whole communities.
