Volunteer and Intern in Nepal
Nepal is a breath-taking country with many fantastic opportunities to volunteer or intern within its borders. Projects are available for anyone interested in volunteering in the developing world, whether you are on a gap year, a summer vacation, or a career break.
Projects Abroad Nepal has projects in Teaching, Care, Conservation, and Medicine & Healthcare. As one of the world's poorest countries, volunteers are desperately needed in Nepal to help out in its schools, orphanages, and hospitals.
Our office is based in the bustling city of Kathmandu - a city full of jostling crowds, rickety ox carts, and noisy auto-rickshaws. Most of our volunteer placements are located here too, although some are located in more rural areas of the Kathmandu valley. We also have some medical projects based in the lowlands area of Chitwan.
Volunteers in Nepal live with host families. Some families welcome up to four volunteers into their home, and you'll usually share a room with one other volunteer. A couple of families even take up to twelve volunteers and these homes offer an experience more similar to living in a hostel.
Volunteering and Interning Abroad in Nepal
Nepal is a small yet stunning land of snow-capped mountains, majestic old temples, and the colorful city of Kathmandu. The home of Mount Everest draped along the backbone of the Himalayas, Nepal entices all kinds of people – and they don't go home disappointed.
Nepal has historically been a shrewd trader with both India to the South and China to the North. It is also in a transitional stage from royal autocracy to a form of democracy.
The geographical location of Nepal makes it one of the most bio-diverse countries on the planet. As well as the mountains you will find windswept deserts, green paddy fields, and jungles teeming with exotic wildlife.
Volunteer Vacations and Voluntourism in Nepal
On your days off from voluntary work, there's always something going on in Nepal. Kathmandu is transforming into a vibrant, more modern metropolis. Western influences mean that you will certainly see modern-looking businessmen or even monks chatting on cell phones. However, there is still plenty of evidence of a more traditional life, with countless religious festivals and temples to visit.
Nepal is the perfect location for anyone adventurous who loves the outdoors. There are places to go white-water rafting in the foaming glacial rivers and the mountainous terrain is perfect for those seeking extreme mountain biking, climbing, or trekking activities. Who wouldn't relish the unforgettable experience of hiking in the foothills of Mount Everest or going on an adventure trek through the jungle in Chitwan National Park?
