Locations
Nepal is a relatively small country by landmass, but is densely populated for its size; it is one of the top 50 most populated countries in the world. Most cities and villages in Nepal are thousands of feet above sea level, and the country is also home to eight of the ten largest mountains in the world, including Mt. Everest.
Kathmandu is Nepal’s capital and its largest city, with a population exceeding 1 million people. It is a main transportation hub and cultural center of the country, boasting everything from ancient temples to crowded, vibrantly colorful marketplaces. Many high school programs in Nepal are located in Kathmandu, which provides a great opportunity because the city is truly something special. Although, many structures and buildings were destroyed during the earthquakes in 2015, and the city has a long road to recovery ahead.
Pokhara, which is only a short bus ride away from Kathmandu, is another popular city for high school programs in Nepal. Pokhara is significantly smaller than Kathmandu and is a popular launching point for trekkers looking to tackle some of the country’s tallest peaks. Sitting on the banks of the stunning Lake Phewa, Pokhara is a great alternative destination for nature lovers.
It is also possible for you to be placed in a rural area away from Nepal through certain types of programs, working closely with villagers in a variety of projects. Students living in a village in Nepal will likely have very basic conditions, which makes it an even more valuable experience. Living simply high up in the Himalayas will be quite the breath of fresh air!
