Nepal – women are doing it for themselves

December 11, 2008 by Rosemary

3 Sisters Trekking Company in Nepal are pushing the boundaries for women in Nepal. They were one of the three winners in the Geotourism Challenge and now the Guardian weekend travel section has done a feature on them and among other things how they are trying to change things for women in Nepal, where there is gross inequality. They are training women as mountain guides and lobbying to prevent young children being used as workers in the tourist industry in Nepal.
