How we operate responsibly →What your donations have achieved
Our Nepal trekking team
These are the people your donation supports directly — not a faceless fund, but a team of guides and porters from Dharepani and Sirandanda who have worked with HGA for years.
HGA is not currently a registered DGR charity, so donations are not tax-deductible. We're upfront about this. If tax-deductibility matters to you, we'd recommend ADRA Australia — a registered DGR charity doing excellent community development work in Nepal that we know and trust.
We publish a 6-monthly spending report and can share receipts and photos of completed work on request. Our team visits these communities multiple times a year. Contact us if you'd like to see the details.
Yes — contact us before donating and we'll direct your gift to the project of your choice.
HGA is an Australian-registered small business that has been operating treks in the Lower Manaslu region since 2015. We're not a registered charity, but we operate with full financial transparency and a genuine long-term commitment to the Nepal trekking community we work with. Any questions? Get in touch.
