Teaching Jobs in Nepal

Nepal is not only well known for the towering Mount Everest, it is also known for its friendly people, cultural and religious pride, and simple way of life (which will prove to be a nice distraction from the general neuroses and rush of the 21st century). A mix of Chinese and Indian influences, Nepal was a monarchy until very recently. Nepal is also the birthplace of Buddha, and the local cultural treasure of Lumbini is the pilgrimage site for Buddhists from all over the world. Covered with monasteries, mountains, and the occasional mountain goat, ESL teachers will have trouble resisting Nepal’s mystery, magic, and magnetism (and the teaching jobs in Nepal won’t hurt either!).

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Nepal

Locations

Nepal is located in between India and Asia, nestled into the Himalayan Mountain range. The nation is divided into three medieval kingdoms: Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. Nepal’s population stands around 27 million, and the nation hosts ten of the world’s tallest mountains (mountaineers rejoice!). For anyone looking to teach abroad in Nepal, Kathmandu and Pokhara are the most obvious choices, as these are Nepal’s two largest cities. 

Kathmandu is the country’s capital city and largest metropolitan area. The city is surrounded by four breathtaking mountains: Shivapuri, Phulchoki, Nagarjun, and Chandragiri. Acting as the effective gateway to Nepal and economic hub of the country, Kathmandu poses plenty of opportunity for veteran and newbie teachers alike. Considered the center for art in Nepal, teachers will experience historical, religious, and contemporary Nepalese art throughout Kathmandu, and teachers are most definitely encouraged to explore one of the city’s many museums on a free weekend. 

Pokhara, located on the banks of Lake Phewa, is overshadowed by the stunning snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas. Since the city is a popular starting point for Himalayan treks and it is one of the least expensive cities in the world to live in, Pokhara is bursting at the seams with teaching job opportunities and serves as the perfect fit for any part-time adventurer because outdoor activities abound. From the infamous treks along the Himalayas to kayaking and paragliding, there will never be a dull moment for those who choose to teach in Pokhara.

Three weeks volunteering in Siem Reap

I spent three weeks volunteering at Salariin Kampuchea Learning Center in Siem Reap, where I helped teach English to younger students and supported the development of their social media presence. It was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had. Some days were more challenging than others—adapting to a new environment and finding ways to communicate across cultures. But what I’ll carry with me, more than anything, is the deep sense of connection I felt with the people. I can confidently say I’ve grown and learned so much, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Living and working within the local community gave me a complete perspective shift. I was struck by their warmth and generosity, and the quiet strength with which they face life. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed. The children, the staff, and my host family made me feel included from the start, making it easy to feel at home throughout my time there
