Volunteering and Mountain Biking in Kathmandu
Participate in our social travel programs for a chance to explore Nepal’s natural beauty and get to know the local residents. The Nepalese are extremely warm and quickly welcome guests as their own, forming an enduring link that makes departure a sorrowful experience.
During the trip, you will participate in Nepal’s education and health systems, as well as rebuilding and rehabilitation based on your skills and interests. Volunteering at orphanages and elderly care facilities is another possibility.
You can choose from the following volunteering services as per your interest:
- Schools (Teaching, Experience Sharing, Taking Extra Classes, Helping Children with their Homework)
- Orphanages: Teaching, Experience Sharing, Helping children with their studies, facilitating and participating in extra-curricular activities.
- Health Centers: Assisting doctor or head care provider with daily work, office work (documenting, classifying drugs, etc), experience sharing, carrying out health checkups under guidance for those with enough training.
- School Renovation and Painting
- Gardening
- Farming
Our volunteering + trekking opportunity can be the perfect choice to gain some cross-cultural experience, provide humanitarian assistance, and help in reconstruction. While volunteering and providing help also relieve your muscles in a relaxing environment.
Advantage to the community and volunteers:
A school, for example, may substantially benefit from individuals from all over the world by offering a platform for pupils to get cross-cultural experience. Aside from brainstorming and information exchange, local schools gain goodwill by including volunteer activities in their organization.
Because the majority of health-related services are supplied through them, health posts or sub-health posts can be a wonderful tool to analyze the community’s health state.
Participating in Reconstruction will give the community one of its most valuable resources: personnel. Volunteers with building skills, in addition to conducting the physicals, can be of tremendous assistance, while simply offering manual work is sufficient.
Homestay when volunteering, on the other hand, benefits the town in terms of both economy and promotion.
