| socialtours on Lonely Planet |
 It took seven long years, but finally, socialtours has made it in the Sep 2009 edition of Lonely Planet. Mind you, our phone number (4412508) has been there for a long long time, as Lonely Planet never updated the listing under Adventure Nepal Trekking, which was in the same office as ours, about 11 years ago! Find us on Page 72, under Responsible Tourism and Volunteering. The writing says, "Social Tours (www.socialtours.com) can arrange volunteer placements as part of treks in Nepal". Ok, thats not all we do, but its a start.
Here is a scan of the page where we have been mentioned.

Occasionally, we receive a pat in the back, reassurance that we are on the right track. In November 2009, National Geographic Adventure Magazine mentioned us as recommended operator for the Great Himalayan Trail, one of the 25 best new trips in the planet!
We have also been nominated five times (2006 - 09) for the Responsible Tourism Awards in the UK. We have not won any awards as yet, but each nomination or mention encourages us even more. Thanks to all who have helped make this happen.
