Why Sponsor?
Our goal is to increase access to advanced medical training for Nepali guides and staff!
By offering the course at the lowest rate possible to Nepali and Indian Citizens already, we are bringing this course to within reach of more Nepali staff. Especially with limited income the last 2.5 years, this course is still beyond the reach of many Nepali.
If Idaho Rescue Training is able to bring this course fee lower with your sponsorship, we will be able to increase the number of Nepali guides that are able to take this training.
Our goal is to bring the cost to $375 for up to 10 Nepali or Indian guides. We are looking for Sponsorships of $150 (Tier 1), $300 (Tier 2), or in-kind or trade sponsorships that will directly reduce Idaho Rescue Training's cost.

The course is being held at the Kakani International Scout Centre, a former tea plantation that is operated by the Nepal Scouts near the Shivpuri Nagarjun National Park.
The 1½ hr journey up from Kathmandu on a private chartered bus has a beautiful panoramic view of the hills. Once in Kakani, you will enjoy the magnificent view of the Himalayan ranges with wonderful sunrise and sunset views. It is about 25 km from Kathmandu, at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level.
