Welcome to the
Himalayan Leaky Foundation
Himalayan Leaky Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 2017 to bring real change directly to the people who are in the most need. The founders Rabindra and Clare have been working together since the earthquake in Nepal in April 2015 and the Himalayan Leaky Foundation is a continuation of their kindness vision.
What We Do
Shelter, education, water and sanitation, opportunity, kindness.
These are the things we can offer that help vulnerable people across the Himalaya put some distance between themselves and desperation, allow them dignity and giving them hope—and they are at the heart of our mission.
Our Vision and Mission
Tours
Nepal is home to the Annapurna Region which is known for having some of the world’s best trekking routes. The Annapurna Region compiles the wettest, driest, and windiest places.

Nepal is the only country in the world where the elevation will change from 60 meters to over 8,000 meters above sea level.
