Nepal has been a(n) (importance) trekking (跋涉) destination for over a Hundred years. In 1993, three sisters — Lucky, Dicky, Nicky Chhetri — had an idea. They were running a restaurant and lodge (小旅馆) in Pokhara, a popular base for trekkers. When some female guests complained poor treatment by male porters, they decided to start their own trekking business — one (run) by women, for women. They launched their partnership — 3 Sisters Adventure Trekking — with two main (goal): to give local women opportunities to work in the tourism industry, and to give female trekkers the choice of female guides for greater comfort and security.

The sisters also (create) a nonprofit organization — Empowering Women of Nepal (EWN). The organization trains and hires local women as guides. The training program includes classes in English, health, and (aware) of ecological issues. At the end of the program, the trainees get on-the-job experience as guides, (earn) the same wages as male guides. Some graduates of the program use their money (continue) their education, while others start their own businesses.

These improvements to the women's social and financial situations are good for both their families and the rest of the community. The interaction between local guides and tourists from all over world creates a vital cultural exchange, too. "I learned to become an ambassador for my country," says one of the graduates of the program.
