Kathmandu
Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal. We place volunteers in the rural areas around the Kathmandu valley; all of the villages are located within a one to one and a half hour bus ride from the centre of Kathmandu. Most of the villages have a developed infrastructure, with water readily available, and most will have a few shops, where you can get bottled water, biscuits, stationery, and local phone services. For international calls and internet access, you can go to the city at the weekend.Placement in Kathmandu

When I organized my trip to Nepal, little did I know what an enriching
cultural experience I had in store for myself. As a student of
sociology, I was drawn to the cultural differences in Nepal, as well as
the opportunity to help others. Traveling...
