Step By Step Adventure with Purpose: More Than Travel, A Movement
अतिथिदेवो भव (Atithi Devo Bhava)–
"The guest is God."
Rooted in Nepalese tradition, this ancient Sanskrit principle defines who we are—welcoming travelers with warmth, respect, and a deep sense of responsibility.
At Step By Step Adventure with Purpose, we believe travel should be more than just visiting new places; it should be a transformative experience that fosters deep connections with people, culture, and nature.
Founded in Nepal on April 8, 2014, our journey began with a passion for the Himalayas and a vision for responsible and meaningful adventure travel. Unlike the countless trekking and tour agencies in Nepal, we offer something truly different—not just guided trips, but purpose-driven journeys that leave a lasting impact.
With over a decade of expertise, we craft personalized and immersive adventures that go beyond sightseeing. Whether you’re trekking through the majestic Himalayas, experiencing Nepal’s centuries-old traditions, or sharing moments with local families, every step with us fosters a genuine connection to Nepal.
Beyond Travel: Our Commitment to Social Impact
Our mission doesn’t stop at adventure. A portion of our earnings supports FourPOSE Charity, which we founded to improve education and opportunities for Nepal’s most vulnerable children.
However, we do not run charity projects during the trips. Instead, after the adventure, we allocate funds generated from our journeys to support educational initiatives, school development, and community programs through FourPOSE Charity. By choosing to travel with us, you are directly contributing to long-term, meaningful change—helping to create a brighter future for children in rural Nepal.

Our Approach
At Step By Step Adventure with Purpose, we believe that travel can be a powerful force for good. However, unlike traditional voluntourism, our model does not involve direct charity work during the journey itself. Instead, we create sustainable impact after the adventure by allocating a portion of our earnings to support educational initiatives through FourPOSE Charity.
When you choose to travel with us, you are not only embarking on an unforgettable adventure—you are also contributing to a long-term mission that empowers Nepal’s most vulnerable children through education.
Here’s how we do it:
I) A Purpose-Driven Business Model
We fund social impact through adventure. A portion of your trip cost is allocated to FourPOSE Charity, supporting education-focused initiatives in Nepal’s remote communities. This ensures that your journey leaves a lasting impact beyond the trails.
III) Transparent Fund Allocation
Transparency is at the heart of what we do. We provide regular updates on how funds from your travels are used—whether it’s for school materials, infrastructure improvements, or educational programs—so you can see the real-world impact of your journey.
V) Sustainable & Responsible Travel
We are committed to eco-friendly and culturally respectful travel practices. By minimizing environmental impact and supporting local economies, we ensure that tourism benefits—not exploits—the destinations we explore.
II) Strategic Partnerships for Change
We collaborate with reputable organizations like World Vision Advocacy Forum, Stitching Nepal Foundation, and Wilde Ganzen to identify and address critical needs in Nepal’s rural communities, ensuring that our efforts lead to measurable and sustainable improvements.
IV) Immersive Travel, Not Voluntourism
While our adventures bring travelers close to Nepal’s rich culture and communities, we do not engage in direct charity work during the trips. Instead, we ensure that our charity efforts take place after funds are generated, avoiding disruption to local life while ensuring responsible and ethical giving.
VI) A Long-Term Commitment
Our vision is not about quick fixes but lasting change. The impact of your journey extends well beyond your trip, helping FourPOSE Charity continue its mission to improve education and opportunities for Nepal’s most underserved children.
