Real Stories, Real Places
From the villages, valleys, and monasteries of the Himalayas — straight to your inbox.
We work with Himalayan communities to be guardians of their people, culture, and resources — building socially responsible infrastructure that preserves root values.
Our mission
Rooted in the teachings of His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa — compassion, equality, and care for the land. That spirit lives on through our projects: NaropaCare for healthcare, Druk Padma Karpo School for education, the Kung Fu Nuns for community defense and Live to Rescue for animals.
Our roots
We believe in connectedness — to each other, and to the land. Sign up, and you will hear stories such as:
A nun in Ladakh teaching self-defense to teenage girls
A village clinic set up in a monastery courtyard after the monsoon floods
The cutest animals, and the tales of their rescue and resilience
