Rapidrunner Chance is a unique charitable venture, which offers a two year apprenticeship training course in white water guiding and tourism, free of cost, to young Nepali adults.

Every year, through a series of selection tests, Rapidrunner Expeditions hires 2-3 trainee guides. During the two years the trainees are paid a competitive salary and receive full sponsorship to follow our carefully planned guide training course. At the end of the apprenticeship the trainees  are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to  allow them to enter the Rafting industry as Junior Guides.

Our course includes the following modules:

1. ❖    Trip Logistics
   

2. ❖    Office Management
