Frequently Asked Questions

Volunteers are needed across various projects in Nepal, like community development, earthquake relief, and English instruction. Volunteers in the most demand are those who have strong skills in teaching, construction, or nursing.

It’s difficult to volunteer in Nepal for free. However, you may be able to find relevant scholarship opportunities that can lessen your financial costs. You can also fundraise for your program fees through FundMyTravel!

Much of Nepal contains the Himalayan mountains and foothills, which means the climate varies based on region. Be sure to check the climate for where you’ll be based. Don’t forget other essentials that you can’t get in Nepal, like important prescriptions or favorite products.

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is a common place to find volunteer projects. Depending on what kind of projects you want to focus on though, you can expect to be based in more rural areas.

Once you assess what kind of skills you can offer as a volunteer in Nepal, it’ll be easier to narrow down viable volunteer programs. You can apply to these programs directly through their websites. Once accepted, you’ll need to pay program fees and book a flight.

Why I Trust IVHQ

July 18, 2025by: Nayli Rentas - United StatesProgram: Worlds #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!

Volunteering with IVHQ was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I signed up, I felt supported and well-informed. As a first-time traveler I was nervous, but IVHQ made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their guidance before departure, detailed information, and constant communication helped me feel confident and excited about my journey. Once I arrived at my destination, the local team was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They made sure I felt safe, comfortable, and prepared. They were always available to answer questions and offer support, which made a huge difference in adjusting to a new environment. The volunteer work itself was fulfilling and meaningful. I felt like I was contributing to something bigger than myself, and the connections I made with both the local community and fellow volunteers were unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend IVHQ to anyone looking to volunteer abroad, especially if it’s your first time traveling. They combine safety, structure, and genuine impact in a way that makes the experience both personal and powerful. It’s an opportunity to grow, give back, and explore the world in a truly unique way. I’m so grateful I chose to volunteer with IVHQ.
