Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to volunteer in Nepal as a solo traveler?
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. We have been operating since 2000 and provide 24/7 in-country support. Your program includes airport pickups, licensed transportation, and secure shared housing with other international volunteers. Our local staff is always available to guide you through your project and the city.
Why is this program more affordable than others?
We focus on a "Volunteer-First" model. By removing expensive pre-packaged weekend tours, we pass the savings directly to you. This allows you to pay a fair price for high-quality support and accommodation while giving you the freedom to choose your own weekend adventures based on your personal budget.
Do I need previous teaching or childcare experience?
No formal experience is required! We look for volunteers with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. We provide a thorough orientation, project introductions, and daily lesson-planning support to ensure you feel confident and make a meaningful impact from day one.
What is included in the program fee?
our fee covers all essentials: airport transfers, pre-arranged shared accommodation, three hygienic local meals per day, 24/7 staff support, and cultural workshops (language, cooking, and yoga). It also covers project materials and the coordination required to ensure your volunteer work is sustainable.
Can I explore other parts of Nepal during the weekends?
Yes! While weekend excursions aren't pre-paid in this "Volunteer-Only" track, our local staff can help you plan trips to Pokhara, Chitwan, or trekking routes. This gives you the flexibility to travel independently or join other volunteers at local prices, keeping your overall trip costs low.
