Volunteer Nepal – Volunteering in Nepal

Volunteering in Nepal provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a truly amazing country. Our volunteers immerse themselves in Nepal culture amid some of the most stunning scenery in the world while making a real and lasting contribution to the lives of thousands of people.

Volunteer Nepal Location

Situated high in the Himalayas between India and Tibet, Nepal has long been as a favorite among travelers and mountaineers. Home to eight of the world’s highest mountains, Nepal’s beauty is legendary. All our Nepal volunteer projects are located in the capital Kathmandu or Chitwan (located about 100 miles west of Kathmandu near the Indian border).

Our Volunteer Nepal Projects

We offer a range of Nepal volunteer projects to suit every taste. From working with kids at a Buddhist monastery to educating villagers about environmental awareness, volunteers have plenty to choose from. Projects usually last between two weeks and three months, though some projects can be extended to five months depending on the time of the year. Here is a full list of our projects:

Teaching English Project Health Project Child Care (Orphanage) Project Teaching English in Monasteries Project Woman Empowerment Project Environmental Awareness Project School and Community Maintenance Project

Volunteer Nepal Accommodation

Most of our volunteers live with a Nepali host family for the duration of the project, giving them a unique insight into what life is really like in Nepal. Orphanage project volunteers stay at the orphanage or with a host family very close to the orphanage.

Nepal Culture

At Friends for Asia we believe that our Nepal projects give our volunteers an experience that tourism or independent travel cannot match. Volunteers are immersed in Nepal culture as they work with Nepali children and adults during the day and live full-time with Nepali host families. Nepal has a rich and unique culture with its own customs and traditions and volunteering here brings a unique perspective on life in this amazing country. We advise all our Nepal volunteers to do their own research on the customs and traditions, and even learn a few words of the language, before they arrive.

Climate of Nepal

There are two seasons in Nepal, wet and dry. The dry season runs from October to May and is the coolest time of the year. Winter temperatures can rise to 20C (68F) during the day but it often drops below freezing at night so volunteers are advised to bring plenty of warm clothing. The wet season runs from June to September with temperatures rising to 30C (F86) during the day.
