During this time, you will live with a host family, learn basic Nepali, and explore the Kathmandu Valley. Optional side trips such as trekking, rafting, and a jungle safari are available.

The staff... are a delight to work with.
November 09, 2024by: Hakim KhanProgram: Volunteer Teaching in NepalGVI Nepal has been an experience of a lifetime. The staff; Tara, Sita, Anju, Roshni, Terink and all the other members are a delight to work with, they have been supportive and encouraging throughout my stay. You truly get a sense of family and fulfilment by living together with the other volunteers and working with the young students.
The calm atmosphere created by the staff allowed us to prepare for the next day's lessons with support if required.
November 04, 2024by: Ralph CattermoleProgram: Volunteer Teaching in NepalAn incredible experience! The homestay was so welcoming it felt like home, we were sad to leave. The calm atmosphere created by the staff, allowed us to prepare for the next days lessons with support if required and teach with confidence. It was a real pleasure to be a part of such a well designed program. I only wish I'd stayed longer.
An experience that will stay in my heart forever.
October 18, 2024by: Morgan BarrProgram: Volunteer Teaching in NepalFrom the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I felt completely comfortable, safe, and welcomed by the GVI Nepal team. It was an experience I truly believe everyone should have in their lifetime. Immersing myself in the Nepali culture and exploring the incredible sights was beyond amazing. I would never get tired of teaching in local schools and witnessing the children's eagerness to learn every day, all against the breath taking backdrop of the mountains. It's an experience that will stay in my heart forever. Also the food is delicious! I can't recommend this program highly enough. You have the chance to meet incredible people, hear their stories, and share unforgettable memories together. It genuinely feels like being part of a family. I’m at a loss for words to describe how much this experience means to me.
