Internships in Nepal

Most internships in Nepal are centered in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital and largest city. Kathmandu’s high population density in the urban areas and surrounding villages births plenty of opportunities for human rights, social work and education internships. There is also a considerably thriving expat life in Kathmandu, where you will find no shortage of hemp clothing, reggae bars, and “Free Tibet” signs. Hard work interning during the day is complemented by a fun and laid back nightlife, although the city tends to shut down fairly early.

Nearby Pokhora is also a common location for internship placements in Nepal. This is a beautiful region with plentiful trekking, boating, and hang-gliding opportunities. Pokhora is a paradise for outdoor-adventure oriented people, and the city of over 200,000 people generates a diverse array of internship opportunities, from archeology to a variety of medical internships.

Biratnagar, Nepal’s second largest city in the South, additionally offers a wealth of intern abroad opportunities. Biratnagar is Nepal’s commercial and agricultural center, so interns interested in these areas may find themselves in this lesser known yet thriving mountain metropolis.

Taking part in a nursing internship in India was a truly enriching experience, even through observation alone. It gave me the chance to better understand the Indian healthcare system, explore cultural differences in daily practices, and reflect on my own lifestyle and habits. Being immersed in such a different environment was both humbling and eye-opening. I learned to look at healthcare through a new lens and gained a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity in medical practice. I would definitely recommend this internship to anyone seeking more than just technical knowledge. It’s a story worth living, sharing, and growing from. RealStep also played a key role in making this possible by ensuring everything ran smoothly and supporting me throughout the journey.

I completed a nursing internship in Sri Lanka, where I was responsible for preparing treatments, taking blood samples, setting up IV lines, and doing wound dressings, among other tasks. This experience gave me a completely different perspective on patient care and helped me realize just how advanced the French healthcare system is. It was not only professionally enriching, but also a deeply personal eye-opener. I would absolutely recommend this internship. For me, it was a true life lesson. RealStep supported us throughout the entire experience, offering full guidance from start to finish
