Elephant Sanctuary Chitwan, Nepal

March 20, 2025by: Carla Maria Rodrigues - IrelandProgram: World’s #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!

After going on a trek in the Himalayas in January of 2024, I fell in love with the country and the people and wanted to return there to do some volunteer work. I found IVHQ on the internet and with the variety of programs they offer around the world I was able to return to Nepal and booked a trip to the Elephant Sanctuary in Chitwan. It was a magical experience. You learn such a lot about these wonderful animals and the hosts at the sanctuary were so gracious. It was a very rewarding experience.
