Locations

We offer volunteer placements in both Nepal’s historic cultural cities and high Himalayan mountain regions

Locations: There is something for everyone in Nepal: if you are looking to volunteer in a rural area far from Western comforts then have a look at the options in the Himalayan Region (Salleri and Okhaldhunga).

However, if you prefer to volunteer in the heart of Nepal’s bustling capital then we are always looking for volunteers to come and help in our projects in Kathmandu.

If you prefer a smaller town in a beautiful setting, you can volunteer in Pokhara. Here, nature and sports can be combined with volunteering.

You can also combine placements, for example volunteer in Kathmandu first and then continue to volunteer in a place such as Pokhara.

Choosing a location

It is important to think hard about where you are willing to go on a placement. If you are volunteering in a village outside the city it is likely that people will not speak much English and you can expect very basic living conditions. It’s an incredible experience for those who are looking for peace and quiet and like beautiful walks and views, but you can also feel more lonely. In the city you can expect more noise, traffic, but also more touristic activities, restaurants and social life.
