Welcome

Welcome to Community Connect, the Community Homestay Network (CHN) initiative championing community tourism (CT) across Nepal’s breathtaking landscapes. Since 2017, we’ve been weaving travel experiences celebrating cultural heritage, historical richness, and natural wonders while empowering local communities to thrive. Community Connect takes this vision further by curating Exposure Trips for travel writers, photographers, journalists, tour operators, and content creators, offering them an authentic lens into Nepal’s hidden gems. These trips spotlight offbeat destinations, easing the strain of over-tourism and unveiling the soul of community-led adventures.
Community Connect peaks with a vibrant event each year, uniting trip participants, local communities, and stakeholders to champion CT’s values and spark sustainable livelihoods. A shining moment came in 2025 when we secured CHN’s spot on TIME’s ‘World’s Greatest Places 2025.’ Join us to explore Nepal’s heart, where every trip fuels connection, preservation, and possibility.
