We offer a range of programs, including teaching, medical placements, social work, animal conservation, construction, and manual work in Nepal. Based on your interests, skills, and contribution and learning potential, we make recommendations for the best program for you.

Socializing is an essential aspect of our programs, and while we get volunteers on all our programs, some are more popular than others. If you prefer to work with other volunteers, please ask us how many volunteers will be joining on your start date. However, some programs are more independent, and you won’t need fellow volunteers as the projects are busy.

We welcome all age groups from 16 years old and above, and we have had volunteers up to 65 years old. Age is not a barrier to volunteering, and our average volunteers are between 18 and 25 years old.

Except for medical or healthcare programs, we do not require specific skills, but we expect an interest in the project you are applying to. For example, if you are applying to teach children, we hope that you enjoy being around children. Upon arrival, we will provide you with necessary resources and training, and our local staff will be available to provide support.

We recommend that you visit a local travel medical clinic or GP centre and take the vaccinations they suggest. Hepatitis A & B, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Yellow fever, Rabies, Tuberculosis, and Malaria are some vaccinations you should consider.

Our pre-trip information pack will provide information on how to minimize the risk of falling ill, and our guides will also brief you on hygiene. It is advisable to take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover all medical-related expenses and emergency air lifts where required. We will provide information about local doctors and hospitals, and our staff will be available to assist in case you become unwell. A basic medical kit is available on-site, and you will receive contact numbers of local doctors, hospitals, and our staff in case of a medical emergency.

We monitor travel advisories and collect copies of passports, medical and travel insurance, emergency contact information, dietary and medical requirements. Staff members have up-to-date first-aid training and carry a comprehensive first-aid kit at all times. Local hospitals and doctors are equipped to handle any minor or major medical situations. All travel is during the day and under the guidance of facilitators. We provide participants with full training on any health and safety hazards, and access to filtered or bottled water is available at all times.

Our project sites are generally peaceful, and the locals are friendly and supportive. We take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of our guests. We provide health and safety training, cultural orientation, as well as emergency contact numbers for local staff, medical centers, and the police.

Both WiFi and mobile connection are available at our project site and volunteers’ home. Please bring an unlocked phone from home for local mobile connections.

We highly recommend that you bring your laptop or tablet so you can stay connected with family and friends back home. All electronic devices must be kept locked when not in use.

We provide sufficient information to make you feel comfortable and confident in traveling to your destination.

Our programs do not include airport transfer as a part of the package. Nevertheless, we are more than happy to organize a pick-up service for you, which would be at your own expense.

You will be provided information on how to reach to /from the project site. Please visit contact section on website. However, you will be reponsible for the cost of the transportation.

Can I earn college credits or use the program for college or university placements? Although we are not affiliated with any university or college credits, we can sign off on any documents from your university stating that you have completed the program with us.

Weekends are free for your excursions, but if you want to travel during the week, please get in touch with us or inform our local team directly. We recommend that you do not travel during project days and only travel on weekends or after your program finishes.

You will have to pay for your airfare, medical and travel insurance, vaccinations, and visas. You will also need some extra money for your personal expenses and excursions in the country.

We encourage you to travel with your loved ones as it can make the experience even more special. If you are traveling with your partner, friend, or family member, we can provide accommodation together. Please let us know when you apply.

You will be sent a pre-departure guide outlining what to bring. You will be able to purchase basic essentials such as soap, shampoo, or toothpaste near your accommodation in most locations. You may also want to bring medicines, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and personal hygiene products from home.

International volunteers are expected to serve for a minimum of 1 week and a maximum of 5 months per calendar year, taking into account visa requirements (for details, please see the question on Visa Requirements). It should be noted, however, that volunteers arriving in August can work for a total of 10 consecutive months spanning two calendar years, from August to May.
