Trip Highlights

Your ''Taste of Volunteering'' Project

The volunteer project is based in a school and three orphanages are near Kathmandu. The children range in age from 4 to 18. The level of poverty is very high and they lack even basic food and clothing. Providing them with an education gives them the foundation and confidence to succeed in this impoverished country.

Help teach English, sports, drama, arts, as well as the basics of hygiene and general health.

Trip Summary

Nepal is a fascinating country divided into green flat planes, lush foothills and valleys and arid Himalayan peaks. The people of this stunning country are warm, friendly, proud and resilient.

Begin your enriching adventure with an introduction to Nepalese language, history, culture and customs. This basic understanding will help you communicate with the locals and immerse yourself in your project. Enjoy the beautiful personalities of the children as they learn and play. Gain a deeper understanding for their lives during your home stay with a Nepalese family.

Carry the wonderful memories of your rewarding volunteer project with you as you explore the majestic Himalaya. So much of the Nepali culture is shaped by their environment and your stunning trek to the summit of Shivpuri will serve to reinforce your appreciation. Though not in the rarefied atmosphere of the higher peaks, at 2560m, this mountain still offers a glimpse at the biodiversity and magnificent views of the mountain range.
