What this is all about - Scroll down for latest updates!!!

This blog is all about a kayaking project for Nepali girls and our adventure to get over there and help them out. We will keep you updated through this blog with how sponsorship and donations are going and hopefully while we are over there we can keep posting on here - Thanks for checking it out.

The aim of the project is to produce a group of female river guides to work on the rivers in Nepal as safety kayakers, raft guides and kayak instructors. It will be a perfect base for the women to start training and eventually work and support themselves as employees or free lance guides within the Nepal white-water industry.

If you would like to help out in any way with this project whether it's advice, sponsorship, gear, donations, idea's or anything else then please send us an email, give us a call or follow the donations link, it would be much appreciated. Cheers

Check out Inka Trollsas's website (she is the instigator of this awesome project), which has more info about the trip and how things are going from her end. http://www.farawayadventures.com/nepaligirlkayakers.php

2 down 4 to go, thanks to Canoe and Kayak


There are 6 of us from the Kiwi crew flying out from NZ, this means we can take 6 kayaks. Thanks to Canoe and Kayak, we now only need to raise enough funds for 4 kayaks, as they are donating two towards the project.

But wait there's more...................................................... not only are they donating two kayaks, but all the gear to go with them, paddles, spray decks, helmets and buoyancy aids. This is a massive contribution towards the project and means more gear for Nepali Girls to learn in.

We are extremely grateful to Canoe and Kayak for this generous donation. They have also offered great discounts on any gear we buy for the Nepali Women, so with two less boats to buy, we will hopefully have enough funding to purchase a bit more gear.

There will also be an article in the next Canoe and Kayak Magazine, which is due out in November.

Once again, a huge thanks to Canoe and Kayak for all their support with this project
