All placements are very flexible giving you the opportunity to take some time off and explore Nepal and some of the world famous attractions. Rafting on the Tibetan border, trekking the Annapurna circuit or Everest Base Camp, Himalayan river kayaking, a Royal tiger and elephant safari, or the longest free-fall bungee jump in the world are a few options.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENT
Volunteers for this program must have sound health. Volunteers need to be independent, enthusiastic and adaptable. We do not ask for any formal qualifications from our volunteers. All we ask is that you have a genuine desire to help people and are committed to seeing the program through.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Our programs run throughout the year. You can volunteer anywhere from 2 weeks to 5 months. Also, our program is flexible on your arrival and it would be possible for you to start any time.
TRAINING
You will be met at the airport by a representative of your guesthouse and taken back to your accommodation. All volunteers will receive initial training after arriving in pokhara. The training is designed to help you settle into Nepal and to ensure you are fully prepared for your volunteer placement: A typical orientation period is as follows:
Basic Nepali Language classes - 2hrs, morning. Nepali cultural orientation/general cultural exchange Sightseeing - 2 1/2 hrs, afternoon.
After completion of your orientation phase you will be escorted to your assigned placement.
PROGRAM COST
The program fee covers: airport pickup, language primer, administrative charge, training, accommodation and main meals during placement, cultural sightsee, transportation for volunteers and supervision.
The other costs you will need to meet are: Your flights, Visa (a 60 day tourist visa is only US$30, the extensions are US$30 per 30 days with three renewals possible), shots, travel insurance, and corresponding airport departure taxes. Also you will need a weekly budget of up to US$20 to cater for all your other expenses like bottled water, personal items, beverages and entertainment. Living in a village is relatively inexpensive in comparison to most western countries and usually it is difficult to spend more than US$ 10 per week during your placement.
For the final confirmation we need to receive your flight arrival information.
I hope this information is of use but if you have any further questions upon visiting our website http://www.volunteerworkinnepal.org please e-mail or telephone me and I will get back to you promptly.
