Asian Heritage Group[edit]

In 2004, The Asian Heritage Group's first company, Asian Heritage Treks & Travels, was established. This was an important turn in the group's journey, contributing to its current position [5].

The Asian Heritage Foundation Nepal, established in 2009, is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of rural communities, with a particular focus on children and women, and fostering socioeconomic development opportunities. A notable accomplishment includes the establishment of a fully equipped community hospital in Necha village, located in the Solukhumbu district. Additionally, the foundation helped to deliver modern agricultural training programs to local farmers and empowering women through diverse training initiatives in Solukhumbu, Khotang, and Okhaldhunga. These endeavors have impacted 18 Village Development Committees (VDCs) across the region [5].

In 2010, Asian Heritage Exports, Imports, and Cargo was established to meet the logistical needs of Nepalese garment manufacturers, suppliers, and global buyers. Since its inception, the company has facilitated numerous imports and exports [5].
